The View has a unique place in culture as a point of convergence for people with differing political views. Perhaps now more than ever, that function matters, especially as online platforms — for better or worse — quickly become echo chambers. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin took to X to warn Democrats against taking Trump’s bait in his legally questionable military deployment in LA.
To understand Alyssa, you first need to understand her lore. Politically, she’s been all over the place. She worked her way up from writing articles to serving in the Strategic Communications department in the White House during Trump’s first term. Her falling out with Trump ultimately came after she found the evergreen Jan. 6 insurrection attempt abhorrent. Since then, she’s moved to television — and seemingly shifted her allegiance from MAGA.
