Through her time on The View, Alyssa Farah Griffin has shared her own views on various discussions over the years. Recently, Griffin has gotten some criticism for recent comments concerning current events in Virginia. However, others did come to Griffin’s defense.
Alyssa Farah Griffin Recently Returned To The View After Being Away On Maternity Leave
Griffin served as the White House director of strategic communications and Assistant to the President in 2020 under President Donald Trump. In recent years, however, Griffin has established herself as a commentator and television personality.
Griffin joined The View back in 2022. She recently returned to the talk show on April 13 after leaving on maternity leave back in February. Through her time on the show, she has often weighed in on a number of “hot topic” discussions.
During a recent episode, the co-hosts were asked to weigh in on recent events in Virginia. This was the state saying yes to voter redistricting.
Some Thought The Issue Was Too Complicated To Take A Neutral Stance, Others Came To Griffin’s Defense
As noted by The U.S. Express, the state legislature will temporarily adopt a new map, which is actually expected to benefit Democrats during a midterm election year. For her part, Griffin acknowledged that this was a “win” for Democrats. However, she expressed concern that “both parties engage in partisan gerrymandering and it’s ruining our country.”
Griffin also felt that this had been an ongoing issue for some time. As she continued, “Republicans do it, then Democrats do it… We should elect people who want to stand on moral principle, who want to end it, who want more proportionate representation. This is decades before Trump.”
Some of her co-hosts agreed with her. In fact, this comes out at a time as fans have noticed that Griffin’s co-hosts have been agreeing with her as of late on the show.
However, on social media, others felt that the issue was too complicated to take a bipartisan route. That said, others came to Griffin’s defense, even those who didn’t agree with her politics. Some comments included:
- “@Alyssafarah your party controls all three branches of government. If they want to stop everyone from gerrymandering, they can pass a law… Anything else is useless talk.”
- “The Dems put fourth a bill that ends gerrymandering. The Right won’t touch it.”
- “Dems tried to ban gerrymandering 5 years ago, every member of the GOP except 1 voted no.”
- “I’m a proud Democrat and I have to agree with Alyssa on this.”
- “This is what I have been saying!!! The people we should be mad at are IN CONGRESS!!!”
- “I love how the keep [trying] to say Republicans and Trump, but Alyssa reminds them this has been going on for decades and they still chirp. She gets a good take every now and then.”
- “I don’t know if Alyssa will see this. But gosh I’m glad she’s back at the table.”
