This week, Savannah Chrisley made her debut on The View. Savannah’s only a guest host, hired for a very brief stint. She’s only been on The View for a few days, yet already, she’s causing quite a stir.

Savannah’s family is always making headlines, as seen on The Chrisleys: Back to Reality. But now, Savannah’s up against her fellow moderators, who carry entirely different viewpoints than she does. So, since America’s currently wading through extremely divisive times, viewers aren’t necessarily loving her presence or her opinions, nor are many of her costars on The View.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinions. However, facts matter, especially on topics that affect our nation as a whole. So, when Savannah recently misspoke, her temporary colleagues had no choice but to correct her inaccurate facts. Here’s what happened.

Savannah Chrisley is filling in for Alyssa Farah Griffin on The View

Alyssa Farah Griffin is a former White House Director of Strategic Communications, who currently fills the conservative seat on The View. During a live taping last October, Alyssa revealed that she and her husband, Justin Griffin, were expecting their first child. Her announcement fell almost a year after her last one, which noted that she and Justin were leaving New York City behind for their “forever home” in the suburbs. Alyssa’s due date was February 19, but as everyone knows, babies tend to come when they please.

In a hysterical twist of fate, last week, Alyssa made a joke on The View. As she teased, Bad Bunny’s lively Super Bowl halftime show was so intense, it might actually induce labor. Alyssa made this comment on a Monday. And on Tuesday, her seat was empty.

“I don’t know if you saw the show yesterday, but it turned out Alyssa was right about Bad Bunny’s halftime show putting her into labor,” Whoopi Goldberg laughed. She added, “It put her into labor! She’s at the hospital right now! And we are wishing her the best as she waits for her baby boy to arrive.”  

Justin Patrick Griffin Jr. is now here. Thankfully, he and his mother are both doing well. Regarding her spot on The View, a rotating lineup of conservative guest hosts will now appear, starting with Savannah.

Savannah immediately faced backlash from fans of The View

Savannah is only co-hosting The View for a week. But that’s one week too many for numerous fans. So, they immediately voiced their stressed-out opinions.

On X, the artist formerly known as Twitter, one user penned, “There is no realm in this entire universe where I would care one iota what Savannah Chrisley believes about truth and justice.” Many people agreed. As one explained, “Her parents were convicted and pardoned, so now they do not have to pay any of the millions they grifted from tax evasion. I pay my taxes, and I want them to be accountable,” not scoring new gigs like Savannah just did.

Then we have Savannah’s personal post, where she announced her co-hosting duties in a way that ruffled even more feathers. “I hope this week opens the door to more unity and less division. But let me be clear: I have not forgotten the public bashing of my family by some of these same voices. Grace does not require amnesia,” Savannah penned.

“Your family begged for a pardon, and it’s you who has amnesia–you forgot that they ripped off $36 million from banks and loan companies,” one commenter pointed out. So, as another reminded her, Savannah is “not a victim!!”

Savannah claimed AOC is the Democrats’ “pick” for the 2028 Presidential Election

Regardless of her haters, Savannah’s currently serving out her week on The View. But yesterday’s live taping wasn’t exactly her best.

During Wednesday’s episode, the hot topics discussion focused on Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s recent appearance at the Munich Security Conference. While here, AOC answered a question about whether she’d support a potential United States involvement in the Taiwan-China conflict. AOC paused, stuttered, and finally gave a vague response, so she was quickly scrutinized by members of the Republican Party, including President Donald Trump, who told reporters that AOC “had no idea how to answer.”

Savannah agreed. “AOC just didn’t have a recovery,” she said. At her side, Joy Behr noted that Trump also drops the ball when pressed. “He does it over and over again,” she argued, calling Trump out for trying to throw AOC under the bus for her singular failing. Then, Whoopi joined in, arguing that Trump “is the President,” so he should definitely be held to a higher standard than AOC.

“I understand that wholeheartedly,” Savannah agreed. But then, she stated that “AOC, though, [she] is the Democrats’ pick for the next election.” Cue Joy, immediately correcting Savannah, saying, “You better tell that to Gavin Newsom!”

Also, cue another round of frustrated fans, one of whom noted, “When you are on the air like this show is, it’s important to state facts. Kudos to The View for correcting her.”

The Chrisleys: Back to Reality is streaming via Lifetime.
