Liberals Are Attacking Fox News Anchor For Being Racist After She Said THIS... She Needs Your Support Fox Friends host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been under fire lately after asking a former NYPD officer if Sandra Bland could have use her lit cigarette as a weapon against the officer who arrested her. Bland died in jail recently of an alleged suicide, although the American public suspects foul play. Somehow, its no longer OK to pose a question that will give you an answer in order to best understand whats going on, Whoopi Goldberg said, defending her friend. Weve been friends for about seven, eight years and she has not asked me to pick any cotton. People love to throw that phrase around, Youre a racist, youre this, youre that, Goldberg continued. Theres a lot of people of color that feel like white people shouldnt ask certain questions because they dont understand it, and they dont feel like youre being sensitive to it, and I dont think thats fair, Raven-Symone added. What do you think? Was Hasselbecks question justified?
