Alyssa Farah Griffin Snaps At Joy Behar During Heated Conversation About The Election: “We Have Trump Because You Guys Screwed This Up!”

It’s been more than six months and The View co-hosts are still fighting over why they think Democrats lost to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, a Republican who voted for Kamala Harris in November, argued that they should put just as much energy into criticizing the Democratic Party as they are into criticizing Trump at the Hot Topics table.

“This table spends a lot of time criticizing Donald Trump and a lot of it is very valid and needs to happen,” she said. “But it is a fact his approval rating is 39%, a historic low. However, Democrats’ is 27%. People felt gaslit and lied to.”

According to Griffin, 77% of Americans in 2023 felt like Joe Biden was too old to run for president. However, they were told to “sit down and shut up” until things became so “untenable” that the party “anointed” Harris to the race without a primary or a “democratic process.”

While Griffin described Biden as a “good man,” she agreed with the 77% of Americans who did not think he would’ve been able to serve another four years as POTUS. The former White House staffer also referenced actor George Clooney’s claim that Biden didn’t recognize him after he “moved mountains” to fly in for a “record fundraiser” last summer.

“That’s not a presidential duty. That’s not a job. You don’t have to recognize George Clooney,” Griffin said. “But does that give you confidence that in the middle of the night if China’s about to attack us, there’s a war breaking out in Iran, that he is the sharpest person to be able to handle that?”

Joy Behar then brought up a recent snafu from the Trump administration when Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth texted his brother war plans.

“Which administration texted war plans to their brother?” the comedian asked, to which Griffin fired back, “But do we just keep lowering the bar because Trump is bad? Nothing else is bad because Trump is bad?”

Behar responded by telling Griffin to “get over it” and that the “ship has sailed” when it comes to discussing Biden’s age and ability to serve.

“We have Trump because you guys screwed this up! With all due respect,” Griffin snapped, to which Behar asked, “But does it help to just keep going over the same material about Biden over and over again?”

Sunny Hostin, meanwhile, chimed in to say that Trump was elected because “he lied to his base.”
