If you’ve tuned into The View this week, then you know that the usual panel is being joined by a “celebrity” guest host.
We’re putting “celebrity” in quotes because Savannah Chrisley is probably less famous than most of the show’s usual hosts.
But some viewers know who Savannah is — and it seems that most of them are not happy to see her seated at the roundtable.
As you may already know, Savannah is the daughter of reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were recently released from prison after being pardoned by Donald Trump, seemingly for no reason other than that they’re famous and MAGA.
Savannah was also close friends with Charlie Kirk, and she’s been outspoken about sharing many of the late podcaster’s most controversial views.
Alyssa Farah Griffin is currently on maternity leave, and it makes sense that producers would replace her with another conservative.
But to hear the show’s audience tell it, they would’ve preferred just about any conservative woman over Savannah.
“Savannah Chrisley is a horrible choice for a co-host fill-in,” one viewer complained on X (via The Independent), adding:
“There were no other Republicans available? Are you actively trying to alienate your audience?”
“I do not support you having Savannah Chrisley guest co-host your show. She is indebted to 47 for pardoning her criminal parents. This is wrong. I won’t watch,” another viewer wrote.
“Guess I’m not watching The View this week,” a third chimed in.
“I am so disgusted by ABC and The View for giving Savannah Chrisley a platform. She and her family are entitled crooks, and Savannah brings nothing to the conversation,” a fourth wrote.
“Let’s hope she isn’t at the table again! Congrats, Alyssa, but hurry back!”
Of course, not everyone has been critical of the decision to welcome Savannah onto The View.
At least one viewer applauded the decision on X — and you better believe Savannah was quick to retweet that praise:
“Saw you on The View today. So refreshing to see a young lady with brains. You are an All Star Savanna [sic] !!!! Fantastic Job Today,” the post read.
Say what you will about the Chrisleys — and there’s an awful lot to say — they’re skilled in the art of self-promotion!
