The View Applauds TMZ’s Bold Stance Against White House While Debating Decorum for Disgraced Congress Members

In an unexpected moment of harmony on ABC’s The View, the hosts found common ground while discussing TMZ’s new initiative to cover U.S. politicians in Washington, D.C.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, who has previous experience working in the White House and on Capitol Hill, expressed her support for the move. “I personally welcome it,” she stated. “Until members of Congress hold themselves to a higher standard, they shouldn’t expect the same level of decorum from reporters that they might have received in the past.”

Griffin further commented, “Members of Congress should face more scrutiny in their personal lives than someone like Kim Kardashian.”

A light-hearted moment arose when Griffin and Whoopi Goldberg had a comedic misunderstanding. As Griffin listed recent Congressional scandals, mentioning “mistresses, affairs, abuse,” Goldberg interjected with surprise, asking, “For Kim Kardashian?!” Griffin quickly corrected the mix-up, clarifying that she was still referring to Congressional figures.

“For Kim Kardashian?!” Goldberg asked in shock, prompting Griffin to clarify she was still talking about members of Congress.

“TMZ is often an outlet that often breaks stories first. They’re intrepid, they’re relentless, our tax-payer funded politicians should be covered that way,” she continued.

Joy Behar then weighed in, noting it was the second day in a row that “I agree with you.”

“I think [TMZ] will ask questions and it’ll be on television and you’ll see them running away on television,” she said.

Sunny Hostin also agreed with Griffin and Behar’s points, adding, “It’s a circus, right? So cover it like a circus.”

“[Trump] introduced these sort of podcasters and influencers into White House Correspondents Association so he lowered the bar for this type of coverage,” she pointed out. “So, I’m going to agree with both of you.”

“Look at us!” Griffin reacted.
