As she nears the end of her week filling in for panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin<\/a>, the 28-year-old MAGA-supporting daughter of controversial reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley<\/a>sparked outrage online by interrupting her co-stars to defend Donald Trump against racist accusations Thursday.<\/p>\n The panelists were discussing the president\u2019s approach to Black History Month when Sunny Hostin said, \u201cDonald Trump is a racist, there\u2019s no question,\u201d prompting Chrisley to jump in and insist multiple times: \u201cHe is not!\u201d <\/p>\n Hostin calmly began to respond by saying, \u201cSavannah, sweetheart,\u201d but Chrisley interrupted and continued to defend Trump\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n The awkward clash comes just a day after Chrisley raised eyebrows by falsely claiming that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Democratic Party\u2019s presidential pick in the next election. The panel immediately shot down Chrisley\u2019s take, with Whoopi Goldberg repeating, \u201cNo, no, no!\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Savannah Chrisley is under fire for her comments while guest hosting ABC’s ‘The View’ (Middle East Images) open image in gallery<\/p>\n Savannah Chrisley has been seated next to co-host Sunny Hostin during her time as a guest host on ‘The View’ (ABC)<\/p>\n Fans of The View have flooded social media all week with criticisms of Chrisley\u2019s spot on ABC\u2019s popular show while Griffin is on maternity leave, but Thursday\u2019s outrage came particularly swift as viewers unleashed their frustration with the conservative influencer\u2019s repetitive talking points.<\/p>\n \u201cOk that Savannah Chrisley woman is so insufferable. I see exactly what she’s doing. I’m so glad the other ladies of [The View] are not falling for it. Alyssa hurry back, I can’t take her another day lol,\u201d one viewer complained on X. Another wrote: \u201cWho’s idea was it to put Savannah on the View? She’s incapable of having a discussion. All she has are rehearsed talking points and can’t contribute outside that. I wouldn’t mind if there was a discussion, but this is watching cult programming.\u201d<\/p>\n One person reacted to Thursday\u2019s clash, claiming, \u201cGet rid of Savannah. Sunny is right. Trump is a racist,\u201d with another agreeing, \u201cArguing that Trump isn\u2019t a racist, and during Black history month no less, makes me think you\u2019re racist too. Get Savannah off the show omfg.\u201d<\/p>\n Another critic wrote: \u201cSavannah Chrisley is in over her head. She\u2019s not skilled to get her MAGA points across with these ladies. Eating her alive.\u201d<\/p>\n Before she went on the show, Chrisley said on her podcast, Unlocked, that hosting the show would be \u201cout of her comfort zone,\u201d but that she wanted to do it because she enjoys \u201cdoing things that challenge me \u2014 I like doing things that educate me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThese personalities have bashed my family, have bashed me,\u201d she continued of the show\u2019s co-hosts. \u201cThese are the same women who made a comment to the extent of, \u2018Wonder what she had to do for those pardons.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The Chrisleys<\/a> were best known for their Chrisley Knows Best series on USA Network, which followed the tight-knit family\u2019s wealthy lifestyle before the parents were indicted on charges, and eventually found guilty, of bank fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion. <\/a>However, Trump pardoned Todd and Julie in May 2025, <\/a>resulting in the family\u2019s adoration and outspoken support of the president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":434907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-434906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Savannah](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-2201318218.jpg\")
