The identity politics of the left had apparently infected the mind of faux-conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin. Instead of reacting with glee to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis bowing out of the GOP primary during the Monday edition of ABC’s The View, Farah Griffin whined and called him sexist for endorsing former President Donald Trump and not her preferred candidate: former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. She also lashed out at America for not electing a woman to be president yet and denounced the entire country.
“There's some sexism we haven't talked about,” Farah Griffin proclaimed after mocking the initial rollout of the DeSantis campaign.
She then proceeded to whine about DeSantis endorsing Trump over Haley and his jab about her being a corporatist. According to her, DeSantis knew better but was just driven by “sexism” against her preferred candidate:
Ron DeSantis actually intellectually knows that Nikki Haley is more qualified and more fit to be the GOP nominee. He's a Harvard grad, he’s a Yale undergrad, he served in the Navy. He knows Donald Trump is not better than her and he threw in some jab at her, that she’s, like, some warmed-over corporatism. I’m sorry, it's giving sexism.
Obviously, Farah Griffin was nervous about the New Hampshire primary which was set to take place the next day and despite all the money Haley had pumped into the state, it was looking as though Trump would have a blowout there as well.
She also huffed about former New Jersey Governor Christ Christie, who dropped out and didn’t endorse anyone. “I like Chris Christie. I respect him. Him dropping out of the race, criticizing her in leaked audio, and then refusing to back her even though she's the only person that could beat Donald Trump,” she said.
“It feels like the boys can't handle losing to women,” she immaturely chided.
The frustration swiftly spread to attacking all of America by calling it a country steeped in “sexism” because we hadn’t elected a woman yet:
And we are the only nation -- one of the only Western nations that's never elected a female president. Israel has had female prime ministers. Most of Europe has. There is some sort of a sexism in our politics we've never been able to get over.
Sounding like a 2016 Hillary Clinton supporter, Farah Griffin declared that Haley was “objectively qualified for the role, she’s objectively run the most professional race, and she would objectively be better than Donald Trump.”
Farah Griffin’s new gripe was pure hypocrisy on her part. Just two weeks ago (January 11), she got into an argument with staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin and said that she didn’t support Haley just because she’s a woman. “I literally never said it’s because she’s a woman,” she argued.
The person who did show a tremendous amount of glee that DeSantis had bowed out was the other faux conservative on the show, Ana Navarro. “Well, first of all, let me just say my initial reaction to Ron DeSantis dropping out was whoo!” she shouted while waving her arms in the arm like a lunatic (see below X post). She then tried to downplay DeSantis’s historic reelection by claiming, without evidence, that he “suppressed the black vote.”

ANA NAVARRO: Well, first of all, let me just say my initial reaction to Ron DeSantis dropping out was whoo! [Waves arms in the arm] Right? But then I calmed down. Look. Yes, he was doomed from the start. He was the most overblown candidate I've ever seen in my lifetime. He, you know, he won in Florida by 20 points, but he won because he really used every weapon of the incumbency to give himself an advantage. He suppressed the black vote, he changed voting laws, and he was running against an opportunistic-has-been Charlie Crist who is the worst Democrat nominee in my lifetime in Florida. So yes. My dog could have beaten Charlie Crist.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: There's some sexism we haven't talked about. Ron DeSantis actually intellectually knows that Nikki Haley is more qualified and more fit to be the GOP nominee. He's a Harvard grad, he’s a Yale undergrad, he served in the Navy. He knows Donald Trump is not better than her and he threw in some jab at her, that’s she’s like some warmed over corporatism. I’m sorry, it's giving sexism.
I also think – I like Chris Christie. I respect him. Him dropping out of the race, criticizing her in leaked audio, and then refusing to back her even though she's the only person that could beat Donald Trump. It feels like the boys can't handle losing to women.
And we are the only nation -- one of the only western nations that's never elected a female president. Israel has had female prime ministers. Most of Europe has. There is some sort of a sexism in our politics we've never been able to get over.
Love or hate her, she's objectively qualified for the role, she’s objectively run the most professional race, and she would objectively be better than Donald Trump. And Tim Scott, Ron DeSantis, all these people lining up behind Donald Trump, they know she's actually better.
