What else is new?
Guest host Dana Loesch was the consummate professional on “The View” this morning. Unlike co-host Barbara Walters, who seized the opportunity to plunge headfirst into a pool of creepy:

Um, what???
Barbara Walters going WAY out of her way to defend Allen. It's getting really uncomfortable.

That’s putting it mildly.
Right now Barbara Walters is defending Woody Allen. Disgusting.

@theviewtv Sickened to hear Barbara Walters defend Woody Allen marrying his 17 yr old step daughter! @DLoesch was great!

What if it was her adopted daughter? Shame on Barbara Walters for vehemently defending Woody Allen! #TheView

@theviewtv Barbara Walters…get her off that show before she takes it down I cannot believe her response defending Woody Allen …
— Kathleen Reardon (@kcwreardon) February 3, 2014
Why would Barbara Walters think it was ok to defend woody Allen. Girl just sit down somewhere

It's ridiculous how IGNORANT Barbara Walters is, the fact she can defend Woody Allen's disgusting behavior because she "knows him" #TheView

Barbara Walters needs a smack upside the head for condoning Woody Allen #theview

Yes Barbara Walters…Woody Allen is a loving, fondling father….. #theview

Barbara Walters, your defense of Woody Allen is shocking, to say the least. Shame on you. #theview

@theviewtv I once had such respect for Barbra Walters & I lost it all today. She has an adopted daughter & defends Woody Allen?
— Trump Will Kill You If You Don't Vote Against Him (@KindnessnMercy) February 3, 2014
So Barbara Walters doesn't believe accusations against Woody Allen because she's been around him & he seems like a nice guy? Contemptible.

Sickening. But there’s more:
This will be interesting if Barbara Walters goes after Mary Kay Letourneau in her interview after defending Woody Allen.
— Brittany (@bccover) February 3, 2014
As a matter of fact, that’s exactly what she did:
Barbara Walters angrily defended Woody Allen, and is now expressing shock at the teacher/student? what an utter tool! #DanaOnTheView
— Karen Martin (@karmartin) February 3, 2014
Great. Barbara Walters gives Woody Allen a pass and thinks Mary Kay LeTourneau is weird, blah. #LiberalLogic
— Glitterati Gretchen (@GreatGretchen) February 3, 2014
Barbara Walters thinks Mary Kay Letourneau was wrong but just breathlessly defended Woody Allen. Sigh. #theview
— Stephanie. (@qsteph) February 3, 2014
Barbara Walters DEFENDED Woody Allen but BASHED Mary K. Letourneau. She needs to go cause it's clear she has lost her freakin mind #theview
— Kisha (@HonnyDipp) February 3, 2014
Barbra Walters talking shit about Mary Kay Letourneau but defends Woody Allen?
— Daniel Corton ? (@FirstKnivesClub) February 3, 2014
Shouldn’t moral bankruptcy be a good indication that it’s time to retire?
Barbara Walters' Dementia make the View unbearable, but now she's defending Woody Allen? Retire already!
— Sarcastic Foulmouth (@NNishnik) February 3, 2014
After that Woody Allen nonsense, Barbara Walters may want to consider retiring tomorrow. #theview

We can all learn a lesson from this:
Keep your kids away from Barbara Walters is all I'm saying!
— Small g Gay (@SmallgGay) February 3, 2014
That’s good advice. In fact:
ABC should do a report on the dangers of her around kids. RT @SmallgGay: Keep your kids away from Barbara Walters is all I'm saying!

Editor’s note: The title has been changed to reflect the fact that Allen has not actually been convicted of pedophilia. He is, however, most definitely a sleazeball. We apologize for the error.
