“The View” is back and already embroiled in controversy.
The mostly liberal ABC talk show returned for Season 19 Tuesday and the entire new cast came out for the show’s trademark “hot topics” segment — with one important exception.
Noticeably absent was new host Candace Cameron Bure, a conservative Christian and outspoken traditional marriage advocate who starred as D.J. Tanner on 1990s sitcom hit “Full House.”
Interestingly, the first hot topic discussed on the show was Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue gay marriage licenses.
While there’s no proof Cameron Bure was intentionally left off of the segment, social media users suggested her absence could be due to a conflict she had with a “View” co-host on a previous episode.
During a guest appearance back in July, Bure got into a fiery debate with co-host Raven Symone over a bakery in Oregon that refused to make cakes for a lesbian wedding.
Some on Twitter speculated that could be the reason she was kept out of the discussion Tuesday morning, as Bure did participate in the third segment.
So @TheView has Candace Cameron on for a conservative voice & controversy, but bring her out after the Kim Davis discussion. #TheView

@Kristi1967 If they left Candace Cameron out of the Kim Davis topic on purpose, #TheView continues to have big problems.

@Mrsedj @TheView @candacecbure Yep and not even 4 minutes of actual hot topics. They kept her out of anything she could disagree with.

So I turn on The View to see Candace Cameron, and she’s not there???? Did I miss something?

Come on @TheView it would have been ratings gold to see @candacecbure ‘s view on the kentucky clerk. Seriously why leave her out?

A representative for the show who spoke to the New York Post denied the rumors.
Not at all, a show rep told Page Six: “We had her on for ‘segment three’ because she’s not going to be on [regularly] for a couple of weeks. We want to build consistency to let viewers know who would be on for tomorrow.”
Bure will be absent for months as she finishes shooting “Fuller House.” She told the audience the “Fuller House” cast “is wrapping our 13th episode in November, so after [that], I will be here more consistently.”
