Rosie O’Donnell is returning to co-host ABC’s “The View,” and it looks like she’s bringing some old baggage with her. Newsbusters’ Scott Whitlock reached out to O’Donnell on Twitter to see if her 9/11 truther conspiracy beliefs were still intact. O’Donnell responded, saying she still has her doubts about the “official” story.
Quest @Rosie: Do you still plan on promoting 9/11 Trutherism when you return to The View?

To put it another way, @Rosie: Do you still believe in the basic concepts of 9/11 Trutherism?

As Whitlock reports on Newsbusters:
O’Donnell left The View in 2007 after battling with conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck. On March 29, 2007, she promoted trutherism, saying of September 11th: “I do believe it is the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics for the World Trade Center Tower Seven, building seven, which collapsed in on itself, it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved…” ABC invited O’Donnell to return as a View co-host for the fall 2014 season.
Good work, ABC http://t.co/AQBrijneP5

Would The View hire an Obama birther? That's nuts, but less awful than trutherism RT @allahpundit: Good work, ABC http://t.co/mnOcT1wplt
