Rosie O’Donnell Attacks Elizabeth Hasselbeck for Calling #BlackLivesMatter Hate Group

Rosie O’Donnell took to Twitter to criticize Fox News host Elizabeth Hasselbeck for her pointed question asking why the #BlackLivesMatter movement was still not classified as a hate group.

O’Donnell and Hasselbeck were co-hosts of ABC’s The View, often clashing over their differing views on political issues. O’Donnell famously and publicly critiqued Hasselbeck for not coming to her defense when conservative commentators seized upon her comments, “655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?”

Update- 5:39 pm EST: Hasselbeck sent out this vague tweet earlier this afternoon that could potentially be a reference to the huge blowback her question has gotten:

My calling @foxandfriends is to ask questions and my calling as a #Christian is to #LoveAllGodsPeople -I give my best to do both each day.
