The View's New Token Republican Vows To Be The Voice For Trump Supporters... Just One Problem
Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin will be joining the cast on 'The View' as their token republican and has vowed to be the voice for Trump supporters. There's just one problem, she hates Trump.
Griffin joined “Good Morning America” on Monday to discuss what was coming in the panel show’s 26th season — which kicks off on Tuesday after a late-summer hiatus — and she noted two seats would be occupied by women who at least identified as Republicans — herself and longtime fill-in host Ana Navarro.
“I’m a millennial and I worked in the Trump administration. I’ve also since criticized the former president,” Griffin explained, adding, “But I still want to be a voice for the 74 million Americans who voted for him, and kind of tell them, from my experience, here’s why I won’t support him again, but here’s what a future Republican Party can and should look like. So that’s really what I’m hoping to meet the audience with.”
Griffin went on to take several potshots at the former president, saying that she certainly understood discussions could get heated among women who did not always see eye to eye. “Listen, by the way, I survived the Trump West Wing. I think I can survive ‘The View.’ We’ll see. I’ll be back to let you know,” she added.
Griffin, who resigned from the Trump administration on January 6, 2021, has since been quite vocal of her opposition to Trump. “As somebody who regrettably worked for Donald Trump, I do not want to see that man ever be president again,” she said.

So the optics here is that 'The View' has brought in a person who claims to be a conservative that hates Trump. It's their one-up on former host Meghan McCain who was also an anti-Trumper. Only this time, Griffin used to work for the White House and I guess the show feels she will be a more credible hater?
