In case you needed to know simply how “Republican” the token Republicans on “The View” are, think about Alyssa Farah Griffin’s last-minute endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
It wasn’t simply that the endorsement occurred — though that truth actually ought to weigh upon your thoughts for those who watch the reliably lefty gab-fest — however how it occurred.
Thoughts you, no one thought that Griffin was going to return out with a full-throated endorsement of Donald Trump on Tuesday, both; a former Trump administration official, Griffin went on a public hand-wringing tour after the occasions of the 2020 election, which is a part of what bought her the gig within the first place.
As an alternative, it’s the truth that she mentioned she believed that she “believed [Trump] deserved to lose” — in 2020, when she watched the outcomes with Trump within the White Home — and that she thought “the following 4 years can be the Republican Celebration rebuilding and changing into one thing I might consider in and turning the web page on Donald Trump.”
Shock, it didn’t. So now, she’s on crew Kamala (… malalafalalala, la la la la).

“This weekend, on Saturday, for the primary time in my life, I voted for a Democrat,” Griffin mentioned. “I voted for Kamala Harris. I voted down-ballot for Republicans. I think about my vote on mortgage to her.”
Why? As a result of, after all, she “worr[ies] concerning the route Donald Trump will take this nation, and I take my very own warning severely.” Nice for you, I suppose.
“What I noticed may be very actual,” she mentioned. “I’m a Christian, I’m an American, and I’m a Republican, in that order. And I want anyone who shares my values.”
“I want somebody who’s a form and respectable one who will convey this nation collectively,” she continued. “I don’t agree with plenty of her insurance policies, and we are able to criticize that down the street, however immediately is a couple of brighter future.
“And I feel that the very best factor for the nation and the way forward for the Republican Celebration is that Donald Trump lose and that Kamala Harris is elected.”
Discover Pleasure Behar’s condescending “good woman” on the finish of the clip, as if Griffin was a pet that had simply gone wee-wee outdoors for the primary time. In every other clip, that’d actually be the worst factor by far, however that’s concerning the eleventh worst factor on this one:
So, first off, I’m glad that Griffin is ready the place she will be able to afford to vote for a “type and respectable particular person” as a substitute of an efficient one; even when that particular person is on the poll, most Individuals can’t, inflation and stagnant alternative having eaten into their financial institution accounts like rust eats right into a Yugo.
Amazingly, she appears to have discovered this “type and respectable” particular person, too. Possibly it’s the model of Kamala Harris that will get introduced on “The View” each morning, however the entire “pleasure and vibes” Kamala bought left behind someplace in September and has by no means returned. That is now a candidate whose messaging, by herself and her surrogates, is that the opposition is fascistic and bigoted — and that, for those who help that kind of factor, you’re “rubbish.”
As for the way forward for the Republican Celebration being totally different, what exactly is she on the lookout for? The Democrat archetype of the nice GOP candidate, which is a lite Democrat who indicators onto progressive agenda gadgets, however possibly after a little bit of grumbling? An open-borders, legalize-everything libertarian, albeit one who doesn’t care an excessive amount of about budgetary and tax points? Or only a “good” candidate?
If that is the GOP she needs, she may as nicely swear loyalty to the social gathering of the donkey now, as a result of that’s not going to occur — not, at the very least by the requirements of “The View.”
And let’s not neglect this: “I don’t agree with plenty of her insurance policies, and we are able to criticize that down the street.” That’s like shopping for the aforementioned Yugo as a each day driver and saying you’ll take care of the reliability points down the street: You’re not going to get very far earlier than issues go awry. I’d give it the victory speech, if (heaven forfend) it occurs.
That is, by far, probably the most left-wing candidate ever fielded by the Democrats in relation to the temper of the remainder of the nation — together with duds like George McGovern and Michael Dukakis. Harris is from an administration that has failed in nearly each respect, and she or he guarantees to pursue its most liberal agenda gadgets — particularly on abortion, abolishing religious liberty and on the economy –with out even pretending towards moderation. This can be a optimistic factor for the GOP and for America?
Fortunately, most Republican voters aren’t Alyssa Farah Griffin. They’ll’t afford this type of insular considering, what with financial institution accounts and dinner tables to fret about. Nevertheless, for those who wanted a primer in simply how RINO the token “Republicans” on “The View” are, this encapsulates it neatly in simply over a minute.
