Alyssa Farah Griffin hit dead silence after endorsing ‘Morning Joe’ host’s Trump rally

On By Littum

Alyssa Farah Griffin was met with harsh silence on Monday’s episode of “The View” after she expressed her opinion that good people should work for and interview Donald Trump in his second term.

The moment came during the day’s first “Hot Topic,” where the women discussed their thoughts on “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, revealing that they met with Trump for 90 minutesand plans to “restart communication” with him.

For Farah Griffin, as well as co-host Sara Haines, the decision to meet was the right one – with the former noting that she would likely do the same.

“I would sit down with Donald Trump. I would interview Donald Trump. And I would go one step further, I hope good people work for him,” said Farah Griffin. “We need to stop demonizing people, because they supported a man who just became president of the United States. We should hope that good people are around him and that smart journalists challenge him.”

When she finished, however, she was met with total silence from the crowd, while Ana Navarro immediately jumped into the response with a pointed, “Well…” The particular delivery drew a laugh from the crowd.

“I absolutely think it was the right decision,” Haines said afterward. “And I think it’s good that they work on MSNBC. I don’t want only Fox people to see them.”

“I don’t need to know their motivation, I just know you don’t get anywhere quietly,” she added.

However, Sunny Hostin disagreed, saying a sit-down was not required to cover Trump fairly and honestly.

“The bottom line is that America needs a free press willing to speak truth to power right now more than ever,” she said. “I think we have to be very clear on that when we think about the president-elect and cover the president-elect, and I don’t think you have to sit down for 90 minutes at Mar-a-Lago and kiss his ring .to be able to tell the truth and be able to cover a story.”

“The View” airs weekdays at 11 ET on ABC.
