The View’s Hosts Urge Fans: Skip Thanksgiving If Family Supports Trump!
The hosts of *The View* are stirring up controversy again after former President Donald Trump's historic election victory, this time suggesting viewers consider skipping holiday gatherings with family members who support Trump.
This comes after Yale psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun made headlines last week, advising liberals to cut ties with friends and family who support Trump.
Co-host Sunny Hostin agreed with Calhoun’s perspective, expressing understanding for those wanting distance from pro-Trump relatives. “I really do feel that President-elect Trump represents a different kind of candidate. Given the things he’s said and done, it’s more of a moral issue for me, and I think it is for others, too,” Hostin said on Wednesday. “It was different, for example, when Bush was elected. You might have disagreed with his policies, but you didn’t feel he was fundamentally flawed in character or morality.”
Co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back, noting that Bush also faced criticism both during his campaign and throughout his presidency.
Hostin responded, “But they’re very different figures. You [Griffin], along with [General Mark] Milley and John Kelly, warned us about Trump’s character flaws. When people feel someone voted against their values and loved ones, it’s understandable to take a step back.”
Whoopi Goldberg agreed, adding that if she had an LGBTQ child, she wouldn’t want them in an uncomfortable setting with family who may not understand. "With mixed families, I feel the same way,” she said. “You don’t have to put your family in the middle of it. Maybe this isn’t the time to gather if there’s likely to be tension.”
Co-host Ana Navarro echoed this sentiment, saying that liberals should avoid gatherings with pro-Trump family members if it would be distressing. “Do what’s right for you,” she said. “If attending a family event will stress you out, then don’t go.”
Griffin, however, argued that holidays should be about setting differences aside and cherishing family. “I’m all for healthy boundaries, but I think mashed potatoes are the great equalizer,” she said. “You don’t want to spend Thanksgiving alone because of politics. In every job I’ve had, I’ve been around people with different political views, and it hasn’t stopped me from building friendships.”
