The Fuller House star, who has defended Oregon's anti-gay bakery (http://www.etonline.com/tv/167619_candace_cameron_bure_defends_bakery_that_refused_to_make_gay_wedding_cake/), was noticeably absent during the panel’s discussion (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/31417-the-view-week-of-090815/?view=getnewpost) yesterday on anti-gay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis. A View (http://deadline.com/2015/09/the-view-season-19-premiere-ratings-joy-behar-1201519419/) spokesperson attributes Bure's absence from the segment to not being a regular for a few weeks while she tapes her Netflix show.
