Elisabeth Hasselbeck recently phoned into FOX and Friends to express her frustration over news that Rosie O'Donnell would be returning as a co-host of ABC's THE VIEW. O'Donnell left the show in 2007 following a confrontation with then co-host Hasselbeck over the war in Iraq.

"What could ruin a vacation more than to hear news like this?" ranted Hasselbeck. "Talk about not securing the border. Here comes to The View the very woman who spit in the face of our military, spit in the face of her own network and really in the face of a person who stood by her and had civilized debates for the time that she was there."

Over the weekend, Rosie turned to Twitter to share video of the 2007 argument the two co-hosts had over the topic of torture at Guantanamo Bay. Tweeted O'Donnell: "remember this -- basic human rights." Watch the footage below!

She also responded to a followers comment that she and remaining View co-host Whoopi Goldberg "will make a FABULOUS pair!" "yup WE R GROWN ASS WOMEN !!!" she wrote, mimicking Goldberg's comments on the recent rantings over Rosie's return.
