In case you hadn’t heard the news, conservative Jedediah Bila will no longer be expressing her view at “The View.” Reporting on her departure, the New York Post mentioned the possibility that Bila’s exit may have had something to do with her putting show guest Hillary Clinton in the hot seat:
Jedediah Bila shocked audiences when she departed “The View” on Monday — and according to a source, this sudden departure may have something to do with Hillary Clinton.
Clinton was on the show last Wednesday promoting her book “What Happened,” with conservative Bila calling her “tone deaf” and asking the former presidential candidate a tough question.
…
“There was a lot of staff who were upset about how that interview was handled,” says the source, speculating that “The View” wants the former secretary of state to appear on the show multiple times. “They had a lot to say to Jedediah about calming things down.”
According to the Post, show reps claim that Bila leaving didn’t have anything to do with what happened between her and Hillary. But does Bila feel differently?

Hmmm.
Does this mean you got fired because of this question

Are you trying to say this is why you've abruptly left #TheView ? I'm a HRC supporter, I don't think it was a bad question, nor were u mean.

This is so pathetic if this is why your leaving the show. Shame on @TheView if this is the case.

So was Bila forced out because she asked Hillary Clinton a tough question? That would not reflect well on The View. https://t.co/FG4KQij1g2

No it wouldn’t. Though honestly, it wouldn’t be a shocker, either.
You were the only reason I watched the view. Now there will be no discussion. They need to change the name

they should change the name of the show to "one view"

Glad you stuck to your guns and called her out! Sadly seems The View got rid of you for it… I guess they don't like dissenting views

In any event, we have no doubt that wherever Bila lands, it’ll be on her feet.

Update:
Bila’s tweet, in which she posted video of her questioning Hillary, has since vanished from her timeline. Bila hasn’t posted an explanation as to why she deleted her tweet. Inquiring minds wanna know!
