‘The View’ Fans Threaten to Boycott Show Over Savannah Chrisley Cohost Gig
What To Know
- Savannah Chrisley appeared as a guest co-host on The View, sparking significant backlash from long-time viewers.
- Many fans criticized Chrisley’s conservative viewpoints, particularly her defense of the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files.
- While the majority of online reactions were negative, some viewers appreciated the diversity of opinion and found her presence on the panel refreshing.
Savannah Chrisley made her debut as a guest co-host on The View on Tuesday (February 17), and many long-time fans have been threatening to boycott the show over her appearance.
Savannah, the daughter of reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, is one of several conservative co-hosts set to fill in for regular panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin while she is on maternity leave. Other upcoming guest hosts include Amanda Carpenter, Sheryl Underwood, Whitney Cummings, and former View co-hosts Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Abby Huntsman.
On Tuesday’s show, Savannah defended the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and slammed Bill and Hillary Clinton for wanting their deposition to be public, claiming, “They’re trying to twist things and get sound bites from a public hearing.”
She also supported Robert F. Kennedy Jr‘s controversial health policies and claimed that Donald Trump and his administration had been “transparent” when it came to the Epstein files.
Fans have been reacting to Savannah’s guest-hosting stint, with many saying they will not be watching the rest of the week.
“I honestly tried one segment of Savannah and will not watch any of her this week. I’ll just fast forward. She spewed nothing but propaganda and it’s sickening that they have her as a guest cohost,” said one Reddit user.
“I’m just skipping the week entirely,” added another.
“I watched about 10 minutes today and couldn’t do it so I won’t be watching this week or when Elizabeth’s on,” another wrote.
Another said, “She’s outright lying and getting away with it. I’m all for hearing a conservative opinion, but she’s pure propaganda. Pisses me off that she is on all week.”
“Savannah is completely uninformed. She’s cosplaying as MAGA bc 1. Trump pardoned her parents 2. She likes the attention,” one fan wrote.
Savannah’s parents, Todd and Julie, were convicted of bank and tax fraud in November. President Trump pardoned them both in May 2025.
“I turned off my recording of today’s episode and paused all recordings for the week because I’m not interested in listening to any right wing nut,” said another commenter.
“Just stop watching altogether for a few weeks. If everyone that felt this way deleted the show from their DVR’s and quit watching they’d respond accordingly,” one Reddit user suggested.
Another wrote, “I’ll skip this week. She’s a dumb girl whose so called ‘Christian morality’ parents were convicted of embezzlement and then pardoned by another criminal. She has no credibility, no credentials, nothing that I want to hear.”
“I turned the episode right off. Kowtowing to this administration is weak and disgusting,” said one fan.
“How long is this woman on for? I will skip watching until is gone,” another added.
“I’m boycotting this week,” said another.
However, Savannah did have some supporters, with one Reddit user writing, “Refreshing to have a view that is not hateful or skewed entirely one way!”
“I think the reactions to her are way over the top. She didn’t shriek or scream at anyone and was cordial enough,” wrote another.
Another said, “I have no idea who she is but I found her entertaining.”

She’s inept. I don’t care who she is or who her parents are, the bottom line is she is ignorant. Opinions and personal beliefs are one thing and we are all allowed to have those, however when they are discussing the news, facts are necessary first and foremost. She’s lacking those and jumping right into her feelings.

She is knowledgable. She didn’t fit the liberal narrative. Refreshing to have someone on who isn’t a racist and actually supports our Democracy.

Im a daily watcher of The View & refuse to watch Chrisley spew her right wing propaganda. I tried watching Monday but she made me sick listening to her ignorance so I'll be boycotting The View the rest of the week. She couldnt even speak on topics on her own without reading off her propaganda cards. Come on The View. Do better!

I don't like Savannah, especially for getting a pardon for her parents from T. I highly dislike her views; reminds me too much of Meghan McCain. So glad when she left; can't wait for Savannah to also be gone.

Please don't bring Savanah Crisley back! She doesn't add anything worthwhile to the conversation and her points are lost as soon as she quotes the Bible to a current topic.

I'm boycotting this week. I can't believe they allowed Savannah C to sit at the table after convincing Trump to pardon her parents who were found guilty in a court of law for fraud, tax evasion, etc. Hopefully, next week will be better.

I will also be joining the ‘not watching’ the view due to Savanah Crisley being on it, nor if/when they have Elizabeth. Come on you guys; there are A LOT of others with more class you can choose. Put some effort into it!

I thought the Democratic Party was the party of tolerance and acceptance of people and opinions that are different than the mainstream? Seems that isnt the case anymore.

I don’t mind someone with an opinion different from mine but please be informed & stay away from hypocrisy & lies. It’s funny to me that the The View ladies get slammed for being totally one sided when I have always seen them be very fair & determined to deliver the TRUTH. Some people are just offended by the truth. Now we have this Chrisley chick cohosting & she makes no attempt to hide her maga love & her intentions to point out any tiny bit of information from the left that she can somehow use to excuse any awful maga crap. I just can’t stomach this, her & her overly privileged, yet criminal parents. Will see you next week View ladies.

Regardless of her views, this Savannah thing is boring as hell. The View needs better quality stand ins while Alyssa is on maternity leave.

I guess "The View", means only a view liberals agree with! Thank you for the bravery it took to have a reasonable viewpoint, with Savannah.

I think she is as delusional as the imbecile in the White House. Her parents are criminals who was pardoned thanks to the other convicted criminal in the White House. It’s sad that ABC decided to give her a stage to promote the lies she spills. I am disappointed in ABC for their selection, seems to me there were better options than her.

Today she interrupted someone and asked "can we get back to the subject" so she could speak. That was RUDE! She's so Trump. Get her off this show!

I will not watch the VIEW until Savannah Chrisley is off . She defends Trump because he pardoned family members!

They already have a really strong set of really intelligent women. I’d prefer no guest hosts at all. But, if they have them, they should be as intelligent as the current hosts. Watching them placate Savannah Chrisley was cringe-worthy.

Disturbing to the Producers of The View! I record and watch every evening & will NOT be watching The View until Alyssa is back. There goes the ratings.. .GO FIGURE!

Just goes to show how the left truly has TDS. They only have one view which is theirs. They care nothing about democracy. They are nothing but propaganda and spout lies daily. Whoopi is the biggest racist of all. This is why I don’t watch the show. They are a bunch of mean, unhappy women. They cannot debate with anyone that disagrees regardless of the facts. This is why I don’t watch them. This is why conservative women don’t watch them and their ratings aren’t great. Loved it when Barbara Walter’s did the show. A real journalist who reported the facts.

Look at liberals squirm the moment that someone who doesn't share the woke hivemind serves as a guest host on their favorite left wing propaganda show, built around 4 of the most closed minded, hypocritical, and uninformed has-beens and never-will-be's. This is hilarious! Today was the first time I was able to actually watch the show, but I will admit, it was mostly to see how that moron Sonny Hostin would react to have to sit next to a MAGA person! I think it is great! Keep her on! I think a different opinion is exactly what this show needs. Plus, liberals wont watch it, so maybe they finally cancel it! Wouldnt that be awesome!

I was glad to hear the push back on her views as they do reflect the President's supporters. I think it is helpful to have the co-hosts inform her. Miss Alyssa who is conservative but smart.

I've just turned off The View because of Savannah Crisley. I will not watch again until someone suitable is a guest host. OF COURSE she's going to defend tRUMP because thieves stick together. He released her parents from prison so of course she's promised her first born to tRUMP. It's disgusting to hear her defend the CONVICT. It's fine to have an opposing view like Alyssa had but she was at least truthful about it. GET RID OF HER.

Wishing that they would cancel this show altogether. They are hacks that love to spew hate and divisiveness. Can’t understand why anyone would tune in or be hooked to this show.

Not at happy with her. When is her last day? Not a good fit.

Not watching. Who chose this woman? Feels like there's pressure from some higher ups who don't get the show, which is informative well balanced. This woman is awful and unlike Alyssa she is not thoughtful about her opinions. Too bad. If they want someone with a different opinion -- maybe mixed opinion -- let them do some research.

I was surprised to see Ms. Chrisley on my favorite show, the View. Her parents were pardoned by Trump for bank fraud and tax evasion. What did Ms. Chrisley have to do for Trump in return?
If anyone else would have done what her parents did, they would be serving their sentence in prison.
The Chrisley’s will never pay back the money, They simply move on with their lives. Christian family, what hypocrites !

Please do not ever have Savannah back on the show. She is a privileged blonde girl who is indebted to T for pardoning her criminal parents. She has no facts when she is arguing or forcing her opinion on us as well as being rude interrupting and speaking over the rest of the panel at times. Sometimes you have to acknowledge that your political party has done something wrong instead of making a fool of yourself and being argumentative. She is out of her league being on that show and I could not stand listening to her inept comments and opinions.

I think we should just boycott the View for this stunt and get them cancelled. Her presence goes against everything I believe as a liberal, tolerance, openmindedness, and giving those with a different view on things a voice. This was sickening. We cant listen to her. I thought my head would explode. Lets get them cancelled! BOYCOTT THE VIEW
