“Whiny Conservative Woman” Alyssa Farah Griffin Pummeled by ‘The View’ Fans: “At Least Meghan McCain Made for Good TV Fights”

The View has finally returned for Season 26 following their summer hiatus, and new co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin is already stirring up controversy — both on the talk show, and social media.

Fans of The View, who previously denounced the decision to hire Griffin full-time, were quick to voice their anger over the former Trump staffer’s first day on the job, especially after she defended most of the former president’s supporters as “good people.”

In the segment discussing President Joe Biden’s recent speech, which tore into MAGA republicans, Griffin told her fellow panelists, “I take a little bit of issue with him broadly applying the term ‘semi-fascist’ to republicans … I think Donald Trump is, I think the vast majority of his supporters are not. I think they are good people who want an economy that works for them, who saw more money in their paycheck under Donald Trump.”

Following today’s premiere, some viewers decided that they would no longer be catching up with Whoopi Goldberg and the rest of the gang, writing, “After 25 years as a loyal viewer, I’m just saying no to Alyssa Farah Griffin and saying yes to reclaiming approximately 250 more hours a year to do other things.”

“Alyssa Farah Griffin thinks Trump is a fascist but most of his supporters are not,” another said. “Girl, if you support a fascist you are in fact a follower of fascism.”

A third person pointed out, “If all you’re thinking about is your wallet with this ignorant fascist democracy destroying scumbag at the helm, then YOU are the problem, Ms conservative.”

“I don’t know how long I’ll be able to stomach Alyssa Farrah Griffin on #TheView She’s gonna catch hell every single day for defending the indefensible,” one viewer posted.

In response to Griffin’s claim that Biden’s speech was not uniting, another fumed, “Was Trump concerned with uniting the country Alyssa? STHU!”

Other fans were aggravated over Griffin’s comparison of Trump’s Mara-a-Lago “raid” to Hilary Clinton’s email scandal when she said, “I didn’t like when Hilary Clinton allegedly mishandled classified information and I don’t like when Donald Trump does.”

In response, someone chimed in with, “The thing I don’t like about #TheView is that little whiny ‘conservative’ woman who keeps trying to own the conversation with her whataboutism. Comparing Hillary with POS. Give me a break.”

However, despite Griffin claiming she is against the former president, some fans don’t buy it.

 

And though a rare opinion, others even prefer ex-host Megan McCain over the newbie.

“Alyssa Farah Griffin is awful. At least Megan McCain made for good TV fights,” one wrote.

Here’s to hoping the View fanbase will be a little more at ease when it comes time for Ana Navarro to make her full-time debut.

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
