It was the resounding “no thank you” heard ‘round the world when Ron DeSantis’ team turned down an invitation from “The View” to appear on its program. Taking to Twitter, the Florida governor’s press secretary Bryan Griffin cited the instances that the show’s hosts made less-than-flattering comments about DeSantis, such as the time Sunny Hostin called him a “fascist” and a “bigot.”
The harsh response to “The View” went viral, with Griffin declaring in no uncertain terms that the ladies would not give the likely 2024 presidential candidate a fair shake, and Twitter noting that DeSantis’ appearance would surely boost ratings for ABC while doing no favors for the Republican guest. Now, new details are coming to light about DeSantis’ diss of “The View.” It turns out that the Republican was less involved in the process of considering the invitation to face the likes of Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg than previously thought.

Of course, DeSantis had many supporters who seconded the notion that the mostly-liberal hosts would just demean him were he to have said “yes.” “Do you honestly think they would allow him to speak?” reasoned someone else.
Ultimately, the controversial governor cleared the air by declaring, “I don’t need to be involved with some of the partisan corporate media.” He added that he’d be busy working on the important issues affecting the people of the Sunshine State.
