The hosts of The View were divided over Amber Ruffin’s firing as emcee from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner next month following her comments on The Daily Beast podcast that Republicans are “a bunch of murderers.”
Former Donald Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin began by defending the decision to bail on both Ruffin—and a comedian host altogher. “I watched that,” she said of Ruffin’s podcast comments, “and the most important thing that journalists need to do in this moment is be able to show that they can objectively, without fear or favor, cover this administration, and ‘objectively’ is the keyword.”
“And for a lot of Americans, when there’s record high distrust in the media, if you have them sitting in a room with somebody who basically said Trump administration officials are subhuman, they’re a bunch of murders, it adds to distrust in the press,” she added.
