‘The View’s’ co-hosts Hostin and Griffin Catfight Over Pence – Watch

Things got more than tense between “The View’s” co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin. It got so bad that at one point Whoopi Goldberg had to call for a commercial break.

It started after Hostin concluded a rant on Chris Christie, who she obviously does not like. Then the focus turned to former Vice President Mike Pence’s entry into the race.

Griffin was Pence’s press secretary from 2017 to 2019 and was then-President Trump’s comms director from April 2020 to December 2020. Hostin has made things “personal” with Griffin often questioning her over her unwillingness to take a stand on Pence.

Griffin: I am – Oh, no, no. Why don’t you ask me a question rather than —

Griffin: Well, you just accused me of something, so why don’t you let me actually answer? You’re not going to vote for a Republican ever.

Hostin: Nope. Nope. Nope. I’m going to finish what I’m going to say. The thing about Pence here is that when I lived in Indiana and I went to Notre Dame, he had a terrible approval rating because of the way he treated the AIDS crisis. Awful. A lot of people died because of him. A lot of people died because of how he handled the COVID crisis.

Griffin: I mean, you just defended Cornel West yesterday, who would destroy our country so…

Hostin: I’m still speaking. I’m still speaking. He was also a parrot for Trump. He spearheaded –-

Behar: Don’t make this personal. Let’s hear–

It got so bad, at one point Griffen said Hostin that she was dishonoring the legacy of Barbara Walters with the way she was acting.

“This is not what the show is about. This is Barbara Walters’ legacy. Let a woman speak,” Griffin said, which prompted some scattered applause from the audience.
