I do not know when the "demented" statement was made, nor do I know who made the comment because I didn't care. For that matter, I still don't. So, these grown women started bullying a presidential candidate when we all have serious issues to address.
Carly Fiorina challenged these ladies and snagged an appearance on the show. The ladies hosting the show were not necessarily kind to their guest when they probably should have been. I have been told that their ratings are dropping and this was probably an opportunity to correct that problem.
Instead of honoring Barbara Walters' legacy of informative, interesting reporting we watched grown women defend their childish behavior in a way that was very similar to any verbal fight that most of us witnessed in the cafeteria in junior high school.
When Barbara Walters first started The View in 1997, I was pleased. She was giving women the opportunity to express their opinion about everything and anything, including political issues. Yes, Barbara Walters could see that our world was changing and that women had an important role in its development. Not everybody had noticed, but Barbara recognized it, pushed for the show and broke ground for women to step up and be noticed. Thank you, Barbara.
Now putting politics aside, not all women fail to see and act on ideal opportunities. Many women seek ideal opportunities out and behave in a professional manner. I'm sorry, Barbara.
