“The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin described former Vice President Kamala Harris’ interview with Stephen Colbert as a “microcosm” of everything that’s wrong with the Democratic Party after its loss in 2024. “I was struck by, I’m going to try not be too harsh on this. This interview felt like a microcosm of everything that’s wrong with Democrats post-election. I’m going to CBS and this sort of trying to make a point that they fired Stephen Colbert, which many on the left called an attack on democracy, a man who was making $20 million a year, someone I hold in...

One thing that never gets old is watching leftists go after each other like the Kilkenny cats. Dan Bongino frequently reminds us that leftism is cannibalistic. Their modus operandi is to divide society into groups and turn them against one another. As this continues the groups become increasingly fragmented until finally, they turn their attacks inward. There's an old maxim variously attributed to Sun Tzu, Napoleon Bonaparte and others that says, "Never interfere with the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself." That's terrific advice, and the best part is that it’s so very satisfying to watch....

Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed with Sanders, saying, “The lesson Democrats should take is not, ‘We didn’t run far enough to the left.’ They lost rural voters. They lost working class voters.” She went on to claim that because of economic stresses for the daily lives of voters, they didn’t have the luxury of worrying about the state of democracy. “It was people in the suburbs who were like, ‘I can’t stand Donald Trump’s personality. I don’t like how he talks. But my life was better off economically when he was president.'” Sunny Hostin completely disagreed, continuing her reaction of complete...

Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff, that the former president would rule like a dictator if he returned to office.” ……………. “The letter, organized on Wednesday after Mr. Kelly’s comments were published in The Times on Tuesday, was signed by several outspoken Harris supporters, including two who gave speeches at the Democratic National Convention: Stephanie Grisham, a former Trump White House press secretary, and Olivia Troye, who was an adviser to Mr. Trump’s vice president, Mike Pence.

Josh Shapiro (D) said that “it’s a sign of strength” that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris has changed her position on several issues and that she listened to Pennsylvanians on fracking.

Fifty congressional Republicans with military backgrounds called on Walz Wednesday to publicly address “egregious misrepresentations” about his 24-year Army National Guard service, and accused him of falsely claiming to be a “Retired Command Sergeant Major,” despite allegedly not completing the requirements.

They cautioned that he poses a grave threat to American democracy and some even mused about backing the Democrat option should Trump lock down the GOP nod. “Everyone who was in the West Wing, and frankly, a lot of Cabinet secretaries, they know how dangerous Trump is,” former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin told ABC’s “This Week.” “This is not about politics.

Townhall Media A Manhattan jury in a trial of dubious fairness, staged in a district that overwhelmingly votes Democrat, recently awarded a Trump rape accuser with damages for defamation and sexual assault regarding an incident that allegedly took place back in 1996 in a department store dressing room. Without going into the details, the story — which Trump has adamantly denied ever happened — is highly suspect at best.The defamation award, curiously, was due to Trump’s denial of the rape accusation, although the jury did not find Trump liable for the rape itself. This would seem to be a contradiction...

Jean Carroll. Griffin said, “I credit Asa Hutchinson for being one of the few Republicans with a backbone in this because a GOP frontrunner running for president was found liable for sexual battery and defamation. We have a moral obligation as a party to walk away from this man. And I remember, I was coming up as a kid in the ’90s...

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg blasted Anheuser-Busch over its patriotic-themed commercial featuring Clydesdale horses, saying that Bud Light’s parent company needed to “get the horses out” following backlash over its decision to partner with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. “Don’t let them scare you. Lets us scare you,” Goldberg said at the end of the segment. Goldberg took umbrage over the ad because it suggested that “horses are so much more American than trans people.” SNIP Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin praised Bud Light for making a “smart move” in partnering with Mulvaney since it was a way to make...

"The View" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin offered a mea culpa after she faced backlash for making an erroneous claim about Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. On Thursday's broadcast, Farah Griffin accused DeSantis of "erasing" Black history for opposing the AP African American History course, which had a curriculum he said included a "political agenda."

Alyssa Farah Griffin told her co-host Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was “overhyped” as a potential 2024 presidential candidate. Griffin said, “On DeSantis, I think he is so overhyped. I’m just going, to be honest, I’ve seen Trump take out every mini version of Trump for the last five years. I think right now, the party wants something other than Trump. They want Trump light, so they are boosting and hyping DeSantis. He doesn’t do national interviews. He does nothing on the national stage. I think he will implode once Trump goes after him and...
