Candace Cameron Bure to Avoid This Subject in Return to ‘The View’

Former The View cohost Candace Cameron Bure is returning to the show on Friday (November 13), which will be her first appearance on the show in two years, and according to the actress, she has one rule for her return: no political talk.

Bure, who is an outspoken conservative, told TV Insider that she didn’t hesitate to accept the chance to return to the show, where she previously served as cohost from 2015 to 2016 in Seasons 19 and 20.

“I’m always happy to go back, especially as a guest because the pressure is off,” she said. “I love all of the producers that are there, too. They’ve been working on that show for so long. I have great relationships there. But definitely it’s easier to be a guest than come on and talk politics. I don’t really want to. So we’re going to talk about Christmas movies and Special Forces and all the fun stuff.”

She previously explained that she had turned down an opportunity to return in October as part of the show’s big 30th anniversary celebration, which featured other former cohosts, telling Entertainment Weekly, “They did reach out to me, and they offered me the week that my daughter gave birth, so I knew that was coming. I didn’t want to be far away and miss anything, but I’m definitely open to it.” Bure added, “I don’t know that I really want to do it, but I am open to it. Listen, I just did Special Forces. I could probably go on The View again.”

Bure has previously expressed her disinterest in talking politics on TV, telling Fox News, “I just don’t publicly want to talk about politics — not because I don’t believe that my viewpoints and opinions are important, but I would much rather share Jesus with people. That’s really my passion… I don’t want to get into the political debate because it just is about division and separation. And I want to learn. I want to be [part of] a conversation about how to build a bridge.”
