The View has been scrambling to find a new Republican/Conservative host to replace Meghan McCain – and has continually struck out.
The latest, FaxNews personality Lisa Marie Boothe has been rejected due to her stance on the coronavirus vaccine.
More from The Daily Beast:
Fox News contributor Lisa Marie Boothe interviewed with ABC News and The View executives earlier this year, a source close to Boothe told The Daily Beast. Those conservations ended, this person with knowledge of the situation said, after the conservative pundit made clear to the network that she will not get any of the required jabs against the coronavirus.
An ABC News source confirmed to The Daily Beast that the network had conversations with Boothe, among “dozens and dozens” of candidates. The show never had an opportunity to offer her a guest-hosting spot or book a potential date. And once Boothe's stance on vaccinations became apparent, the source said, further conversation became a “moot point” and a “non-starter” due to the network's strict policies.

“As a healthy 36-year-old woman, COVID-19 does not pose a statistically meaningful threat to my life. I have a 99.97 percent chance of survival,” Boothe wrote at the time. “Why would I get a vaccine for a virus that I do not fear and that isn't a threat to my life—particularly when there is an element of risk from the vaccines?”
She continued: “The vaccine helps protect the vaccinated from dying, but it does not protect the vaccinated from either getting or spreading COVID. In other words, it seems clear to many of us that the vaccine is a personal health benefit, not a public health benefit. Therefore, whether to get vaccinated is a profoundly personal decision, not a public health decision. And not everyone is high-risk.”

I couldn’t agree more with her comments. She destroys the left’s position that getting the vaccine will protect the public at large. The main benefit of the vaccine is to lessen the effects of covid should one contract the virus. It doesn’t prevent you from contracting the virus nor from spreading it to the public. Therefore it is a personal health benefit and should be left up to personal choice.
The View wants someone that agrees with them. They forget that this is still a free country and we are free to choose to get the vaccine or not. The best they can hope to find is a RINO who is not really a Republican. I was going to suggest a Libertarian but they are stauncher in their views than a Republican.
Why bother getting a conservative. They should just hire another liberal . That way they can all complain in unison!
