Now you know why Mitt Romney didn’t bother appearing on “The View.”

Ann Romney graced the “View” couch instead, and she was subjected to a series of lies by co-host Whoopi Goldberg.

The woman who could be the First Lady come January corrected Goldberg gracefully about her inaccurate views about Mormonism, probably gleaned from far-left site she took as Gospel. Can you imagine the falsehoods Team View had planned for her husband in order to embarrass him?

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: As first lady, if you get the job, it’s going to entail a lot of things, and one of those things is going to be talking to the mothers whose children are coming home in bags, you know, from wars. Now, I know — I believe that your religion doesn’t allow you to go fight.

ANN ROMNEY: No, that’s not correct. We have many, many members of our faith that are serving in armed services.

GOLDBERG: Okay, um, I say that because when I read about your husband, what I had read, and maybe you can correct this is that the reason that he didn’t serve in Vietnam was because it was against the religion. That’s what I read.

ROMNEY: No, that’s not correct. He was serving his mission and you know my five sons have also served missions. None served in the military.
