Elisabeth Hasselbeck talks about her on-air fight with Rosie

Remember that BIG fight that Elisabeth Hasselbeck had on air with Rosie O’Donnell on The View? If you don’t, here’s a video recap:

Yikes, right? Okay, well here’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck talking about the fight for the first time:

Elisabeth Hasselbeck says she tried to keep her cool during her heated on-air spat with Rosie O’Donnell on “The View” earlier this year.

“I almost had the same feeling in me as when I had a championship (softball) game and I was up to bat and the pressure was on,” the 30-year-old co-host tells Pregnancy magazine. “I’m very lucky that tears didn’t come out. But unfortunately when a woman cries, it’s never seen as a sign of strength and never seen in a positive light.”

O’Donnell, 45, left “The View” in May. She chose to depart the ABC daytime talk show earlier than planned following her on-air confrontation with Hasselbeck.

Hasselbeck, who is pregnant with her second child, remains one of the chatfest’s more conservative voices.

“Being a conservative mother isn’t the challenge,” says Hasselbeck, who appears on the cover of the magazine’s November issue, on newsstands Tuesday. “Being a conservative in New York City on television is the challenge.”

Hasselbeck announced her pregnancy in April. She and her husband, Tim Hasselbeck, have a 2-year-old daughter, Grace.

She says motherhood has validated the strong opinions for which she has been criticized.

“Once I had Grace, I had more reassurance and affirmation as to why I have felt the things I’ve felt for a long time,” she says. “And as a mom, now I want to make sure that the decisions I’m making and the votes that I’m casting are going to create long-term benefits for Grace and my next child and hopefully more to come after that.”

You know her kids are all going to turn out to be bleeding heart liberals, right?
