Kim Klacik (republican running against Kweisi Mfume in Maryland) appeared on "The View"...

...this morning, and I'm sure she's sorry she did.

First, she took a backward slap at Elijah Cummings by saying, in effect, she's running because nothing has been done in the last 20 years, and Sunny Hostin fought back about that. Hostin also made a comment about her not being from the District.

She also took on Joy Behar, bringing up the fact Joy appeared in black face "recently" (it happened almost 50 years ago!), and then Sunny jumped in to defend Joy.

Even Meghan McCain wasn't all republican gung-ho about her.

After the blackface argument broke out the segment suddenly came to an end. It appeared that Klacik said something like "I'll be leaving now", but didn't catch it since it happened so quickly.

I hope it's posted on Youtube this afternoon.

PS - for the record, Mfume beat her in the special earlier this year by 74% to 25%.
