For the second day in a week, The View is making headlines over their heated debates on the ABC talk show as the presidential elections inch closer.
Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sunny Hostin sparred during the “Hot Topics” segment that led Whoopi Goldberg to cut to a commercial break to ease the tension.
It all started when the co-hosts were talking about the Republican primaries and the candidates running for president including Chris Christie and Mike Pence, Griffin’s former boss when he was Vice President of the U.S. under the Trump administration.
At one moment during the debate, Griffin mentioned that she wasn’t sure who she would be voting for and wanted to hear more about Pence. Later on, Hostin would bring up this point saying, “What scares me, Alyssa, is that you are incapable of defending a man that you worked for, that you know of. I don’t need to hear more from Pence, for several reasons.”
Griffin stopped Hostin mid-way saying, “You just accused me of something, so why don’t you let me actually answer? You’re not going to vote for a Republican, ever.”
“No, I’m going to finish what I’m going to say,” Hostin replied before continuing her thought adding, “The thing about Pence here is that when I lived in Indiana and I went to Notre Dame, he had a terrible approval rating because of the way he treated the AIDS crisis. Awful. A lot of people died because of him. A lot of people died because of how he handled the Covid crisis.”
As Hostin was speaking, Griffin took a jab by saying, “You defended Cornel West yesterday, who’s destroying our country.”
Hostin cut Griffin by reminding her that “I’m still speaking” as Joy Behar chimed in to tell Hostin to not “make it personal.”
“Sunny likes to make it personal with me,”

during the “Hot Topics” portion of the show while ladies were discussing a new poll published in the United Kingdom regarding travel. “A poll of 2,000 adults in the UK found that, when people travel, cuisine is more important to them than landmarks or b–ches,” said Goldberg, 67, before correcting herself with “beaches.”Fellow co-hosts Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin burst out laughing alongside members of the studio audience. “I’m sorry.
Dermot Mulroney took a dramatic stand in support of the ongoing writers strike.
Though Sunny Hostin has often come for Alyssa Farah Griffin on “The View” over her cohost’s employment history with former president Donald Trump, she made a bit of a sudden 180 on Tuesday morning. Now, Hostin admits that she can “appreciate” Farah Griffin’s initial hopes to do some good in the Trump administration.To kick off Tuesday’s Hot Topics discussion on the ABC talk show, the women naturally came to Trump’s latest interview first.
Former President Donald Trump offered up his usual barrage of unfounded claims and falsehoods during his interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier Monday night, but the co-hosts of ABC’s The View want to set the record straight about one in particular.
ruled that the state had weakened the power of Black voters with a new drawing of a congressional voting map, and thus rejected it. The decision shocked many experts, considering conservative justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John G.
claim it violated U.S. flag code, which it did not.But, as the discussion continued, host Alyssa Farah Griffin offered a blunt reminder to those who were upset about the flag.“Donald Trump sells Pride merch on his website,” she said, pulling up an image of two items up for sale on Trump’s website.
all 49 pages of that indictment over the weekend.Naturally, the second indictment led the Hot Topics discussion of the day, with the women all marveling at how “rock solid” the case appears to be. Ana Navarro admitted she was “amazed and surprised by the amount of receipts” the Department of Justice has, while Sunny Hostin was awed by where much of the evidence is coming from.“What I found most interesting about it is the most significant evidence in the indictment — because of course, I read it gleefully,” Hostin said.
As air quality warnings continue to go out for much of the eastern U.S., some conservatives are once again outraged at the suggestion to wear masks while outside, this time to protect yourself. And for those people, “The View” host Sara Haines has just one message: “Go and do you.”Haines mocked the renewed “mask hysteria” on Thursday morning’s episode of the ABC talk show, as the women discussed just how bad it was in New York on Wednesday.
attack on the United States Capitol that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021, reports CNN.“The interview was focused primarily on former President Donald Trump, his state of mind and what he knew about the baseless claims of widespread election fraud he was pushing leading up to the January 6 attack,” said a source close to Griffin, adding that the “View” star would “help prosecutors by providing first-hand accounts of times Trump seemed to acknowledge he lost the election.”One source told CNN that the talk show host was surprised over the prosecution’s focus on Trump’s mindset after the election.News of Griffin, 33, meeting with the special counsel comes after former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, 63, testified before a federal grand jury.
CNN reported Wednesday based on unnamed sources. Farah, who resigned from her role as communications director following the 2020 election, has been outspoken against former President Donald Trump since becoming a media personality.According to the report, the special counsel questioned Farah about Trump’s state of mind leading up to the Capitol riots, in addition to his knowledge of the false claims of election fraud he was touting following his loss to President Joe Biden. Farah was reportedly surprised by the prosecutors’ particular interest in Trump’s mindset following the election. Additionally, the prosecutors asked the former White House aide about former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’ involvement in the Capitol attacks, as well as the efforts to coerce then-Vice President Mike Pence into overturning the election, according to CNN’s sources.Last week, Farah said on CNN that she played a key role in getting former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who served under Meadows, to return to testify further before federal prosecutors on June 28 following previous interviews.
“The View” hasn’t seen a truly heated fight at the table in quite some time, but that streak ended on Wednesday when the first segment of the show ended in a near-yelling match between hosts Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin, which moderator Whoopi Goldberg cut off by sending the show to commercial.Leading up to the argument was a discussion about former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie both officially declaring their candidacy for president in 2024. Once again, the women agreed that they don’t really see a lane for either man to have a real shot in the GOP pool, and wondered why they’re running at all.Knowing that Farah Griffin worked directly for Pence, both Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar looked to her for insight on what Pence’s strategy might actually be, and what she thinks of his candidacy.
Taken aback! Lala Kent was thrown by Sunny Hostin’s quip about Raquel Leviss on The View.
The tension was high this morning on The View as Republican presidential candidate and South Carolina senator Tim Scott stopped by. Things between the conservative politician and the co-hosts got heated that Whoopi Goldberg had to ask production for help amid a chaotic debate.
get presidential hopeful Tim Scott to do just that, asking in regards to discrimination: “How can you get your party to stop trying to stop the progression people are making?”Scott immediately deflected, saying that it’s not a Republican issue, but a human issue.
Don’t get in the way of Joy Behar and her (platonic) man.
Former vice president Mike Pence hasn’t officially declared his candidacy for president in 2024, but if and when he does, the hosts of “The View” don’t expect it to go well. According to the women, he has no favor with Trump supporters or non-Trump supporters.To kick off the day’s Hot Topics discussion, the hosts marveled at how big the candidate pool for Republicans already is, and the fact that it’s only expected to get bigger with the addition of Pence and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie.
star Joy Behar snapped at co-host Sara Haines on Wednesday, telling her to «shut up» during a chat about male-female platonic relationships. «I feel like I have a platonic relationship with Brian, our executive producer,» Behar said. She and her fellow co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Haines were debating whether women and men can really be just friends. Haines agreed, saying «I do too,» just as Behar playfully told her to «shut up.» «He's mine,» she added as the group laughed around her. Though it was fairly clear the clapback was in jest, Behar told ET in 2022 that «a heated conversation is always fun.» The women continued the debate about the group's EP.
reported that federal prosecutors now have a recording from a 2021 meeting, in which Trump explicitly acknowledges that he kept a classified document about a potential attack on Iran. This would fly in the face of Trump’s repeated claim that he declassified everything he had (sometimes just with his mind), and counts as an admission of a crime.Farah Griffin has been pretty vocal in her doubts about Trump facing real consequences by way of prison time, but on Thursday morning, she changed course.“I always kind of thought the documents investigation was over, since we found out Pence had documents, current President Biden does.
called out host Joy Behar for comparing him to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (in which she said that he “doesn’t get” systemic racism), but talks with the politician to appear on the show began as soon as he announced his presidential run on May 22.Behar will not be present for the interview Monday, as it is her day off. Interviewing Scott will be the regular Monday panel for “The View”: Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro, led by Whoopi Goldberg.“Every president elected in the past 15 years has been a guest on the show before Election Day,” executive producer Brian Teta said.
