Nicolle Wallace was supposed to be the "conservative" voice for The View, but on Friday she proved again why that's silly. Veteran liberal journalist Diane Sawyer appeared to promote her new profile of Bruce Jenner as he undergoes transgender surgery.
While talking to Sawyer, Wallace giggled like a school girl, enthusing, "It's so cool when you sit at this table. I have little goosebumps because I'm sitting next to Diane Sawyer." Even Sawyer thought this a bit much and urged the former Republican operative to calm down: "Your goosebumps have to aim higher, okay?"
An undaunted Wallace reiterated, "My goosebumps have arrived."
Wallace previously worked for Sarah Palin, but constantly bashes her ex-boss. In January of 2015, she assailed the former governor's "gaps in "knowledge," finding them "chilling."
In 2014, she appeared to endorse a Hillary Clinton run for the White House, praising, "I'm a huge fan."
When Wallace does support a Republican, it's for liberal reasons. In September of 2014, she touted Chris Christie: "His politics...are progressive."
A transcript of the brief exchange is below:
