The women of "The View" will come face to face with Carly Fiorina this Friday when the Republican presidential candidate sits down with the co-hosts who criticized her facial expressions during the recent CNBC debate.
Fiorina announced her upcoming interview during her visit on Fox News Monday morning. It will be her second appearance on the ABC talk show and Fiorina challenged the ladies to "man up" when she arrives.
"None of these liberal women scare me," she told Fox News' Elisabeth Hasselbeck. "I'm looking forward to it."
The day after the debate, "View" co-host Michelle Collins mocked Fiorina for her response as to why she doesn't smile more, saying the candidate "looked demented." Joy Behar jumped in and said, "I wish it was a Halloween mask."
"I don't need an apology, Elisabeth," Fiorina said. "I think what this points out is that liberals, and unfortunately that includes liberal women, when they don't like the message, they attack the messenger. So my message to the ladies of 'The View' is 'Man up.' If you want to debate me on policies... Man up and debate me on them. But don't sink to talking about my face."
"The View" moderator Whoopi Goldberg announced Fiorina's visit also on Monday during the broadcast.
"I do want to point out, Carly, last time you were here, we welcomed you to our table," Goldberg said. "We helped raise your profile, so you would be included in the sea of men. You weren't worried about any kind of Republican backlash. Nobody was backlashing. We were respectful and gave you your due. So, just so we're all clear, you have to know the difference between when somebody is coming for you, and when somebody is paying you a compliment, and when somebody is saying 'Here's my observation.' If you can get that together maybe you can be president."
"The View" airs daily at 11 a.m. on ABC.
