View Hosts React After Grisham Says Conservatives Don’t Like to Be Called Dumb [VIDEO]
Last year, Meghan McCain departed The View. Since then, the show has tried to replace her with a variety of Conservative talking heads. Stephanie Grisham, Donald Trump’s former Press Secretary (who never actually held a press conference), has appeared on the show regularly.
When talking about how to reach viewers on the other side of the aisle, Grisham had some advice on how to connect with Conservatives. According to her, one should avoid calling Republicans dumb.
After a number of examples were given about Republican conspiracy theories, Grisham responded, “But I think that it is not a smart answer. The more we call people idiots, even when they’re saying these idiotic things, the more right gets all — they close ranks.”
Sunny Hostin shot back, “But silence is being complicit, Stephanie. And you gotta call an idiot an idiot when you see the idiot because I think it’s really taking down our country. Mistruths.”
Grisham then replied, “You can’t denigrate — you can’t call people names.”
“Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot,” said Hostin. “The definition. Open up the dictionary, look up idiot, and you see her picture!”
Grisham then clarified that she meant the average voter, not Taylor Greene. The problem is that plenty of Republican voters think like the Georgia lawmaker.
