Elisabeth Hasselbeck Cries After Sparring With Whoopi Over N-Word

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Cries After Sparring With Whoopi Over N-Word Thursday morning on The View, during a discussion on the N-word prompted by the revelation that Jesse Jackson used the slur in his controversial Fox News tape, Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck had a heated back-and-forth that ended with Elisabeth in tears. Whoopi, who earlier in the broadcast had used the n-word repeatedly, sending the censors into overload, argued that the word is only as powerful as a society allows it to be and advocated for using the word to give it new meaning.
