Are there any fans of The View here?

I have been gobsmacked by the guest hostess they have replacing Alyssa Farah Griffin while she is on maternity leave. She is that Chrisley woman, Savannah Chrisley, a MAGAt whose parents were reality stars. They went to jail, and were pardoned by trump. She has only been on for two days, but she keeps trying to steer the conversation to MAGA friendly territory. Today, she was trying to tear down AOC. Most people here know that I am critical of AOC and not a huge fan. This however, was over the top and unnecessary. It did not have much relevance to the topics they were trying to cover today. The regulars shut her down, but really! There are moderate Republicans and articulate Republicans, non-MAGAs, who would do a better job representing their point of view. Is the network trying to ruin this popular, respected show, founded by the legendary Barbara Walters? I think I will tune out while this MAGA is on the show.

Miss Chrisley most likely was heavily lobbied for the guest spot. She's MAGA and was spotlighted on stage Deuxcents 4 hrs ago #2

Perhaps they were trying to pull in that all-important idiot demographic?

At the Republican convention. Thumpers n Trumpers bring a depressing vibe to any occasion

at her personal lobbying (he thought she was attractive, so he bent over backwards--pardon the somewhat pun--to do so). Now, she will forever see him as her personal "Lord & Savior" (and no, I'm not trying to be offensive--her "religiosity" is about that real and her brainwashed view of Trump that perverted).

I didn't see it, but I can imagine they were arm-twisted into bringing her on. Better to have had MTG back again, frankly...

With Alyssa on maternity leave we will have to deal with the token GOPer until she gets back. I am hoping that all of the subs will not be MAGATs as offensive. Whoopie and Sunny will try to keep her and other subs in line!
