Former Trump Staffer Sees Her Honeymoon on ‘The View’ Come to an Abrupt End – Opinion

I regret to inform you that Stephanie Grisham’s honeymoon on ABC’s “The View” has ended abruptly. Grisham, who served briefly as Donald Trump’s press secretary after leaving Melania Trump’s staff, has been angling for a full-time position on the liberal roundtable show that includes such mental titans as Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar.

Grisham, who was an anti-Trump spokesperson, had been receiving plaudits for her revealing details about her White House time. However, Wednesday was a pivotal day for Grisham, as she refused to agree with her liberal host about the border crises.

The Daily Wire offers a transcription of certain events.

“I come from a border state so I can speak to it pretty well. Arizona — 20 years I lived there, and I’ve seen what open border policies can do to the country and to the people who are trying to get into this country,” Grisham said.

“What do you mean by open border?” co-host Sunny Hostin asked.

“People who are – well, like this. If they lift this, people are going to go from 7,000 people getting into the country every day to 18,000,” Grisham continued.

Hostin asked, “So you’ve seen open border policies. What do you mean by that?”

Hostin has become one of my favorite media personalities. I love his dumb jokes. Why, whatever do you mean by “open borders,” she asks–as if it’s some great mystery of the universe that the Biden administration’s policies have promoted illegal immigration and constituted de facto open borders. Numerous videos show illegal immigrants being allowed into the interior. That is what “open borders” is, and that Hostin is too vapid to understand that isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of her cognitive abilities.

The conversation continued with Behar, Hostin snarking at Grisham several times.

“There are bad people who are also coming into this country,” Grisham pushed back, saying that an open border was like an advertisement to China that fentanyl could be easily trafficked into the country.

“Why does this sound like Fox News?” Joy Behar asked then.

“Because I’m a Republican,” Grisham reminded her.

“Are you spewing talking points here? How do you calculate your stats? I don’t see stats,” Behar continued.

“I lived in Arizona. I saw these things,” Grisham continued.

“How much could you see? You’re one person,” Behar dismissed Grisham’s claim.

I’m especially amused by the demand for “numbers” and “stats” from Behar, who has never delivered a well-formulated argument in her life. If she needs numbers she can start by looking at the increasing number of CBP encounters in the past year. It would be a good idea to check the death rates in America due to the illegal importation of fentanyl across the Southern Border. The demand that someone speaking on the current border crisis give a dissertation of evidence it’s happening before doing so is asinine and juvenile. It’s like asking for evidence that the sky is blue while standing outside.

Hostin, in a completely expected move, also alleged that racism was behind the current immigration crisis–a claim that makes no sense whatsoever.

“It does not. When you say they’re coming in illegally, I take umbrage to that, especially because 14,000 Haitians were expelled under the Biden Administration,” she said.

Hostin went on to suggest that racism was at the root of the immigration problem, noting that no one seemed to be upset about the refugees coming in from Afghanistan and Ukraine and adding, “So it seems to me that the law is okay for some people, but not okay for people that look like me. I don’t like that.”

Actually, there are people who have taken issue with the masses of refugees coming from Afghanistan and Ukraine (the latter hasn’t really started to happen yet). In the case of Afghanistan for instance, the majority of Americans will accept help from those who have helped the United States to be translators or such. This is in no way comparable to illegal economic migrants crossing the border. Additionally, people who are displaced from war zones can apply for asylum. Most illegal immigrants who cross the Southern border from Mexico are not legal residents and they are merely economic migrants.

To a leftwinger however, all must fit into their worldview. For Hostin that would mean crying racism over some Haitians being sent home, while millions of Hispanics were deported in the past several years.

Regardless of this, the funny thing about this exchange is that Grisham is desperately trying to get acceptance from the Left, through her tell-all books and her appearances in media. Yet, the very second she steps out of line on something as fundamental as the border crisis, she’s cast into the outer darkness. There’s a lesson there, though I suspect Grisham won’t be willing to learn it. The left’s love is always conditional, and you play their game at your own risk.
