LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: As Republican Mitch McConnell steps down from Senate leadership, the hosts of 'The View' didn't hold back their lack of sorrow over his departure. Alyssa Farah Griffin, in particular, issued a cautionary message on Thursday, February 29, urging everyone to "trust the enemy you know".

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg set the stage by asking the table if McConnell's absence would be missed. The unanimous response was a resounding no, with Joy Behar humorously expressing, "I will miss him like I miss bird flu. Is that clear enough?"

Alyssa Farah Griffin urges caution

While acknowledging McConnell's pivotal role in supporting Donald Trump during his presidency, especially in appointing conservative Supreme Court justices, Alyssa Farah Griffin voiced her concern about his potential replacement. She believes that the next leader could be even more extreme and less likely to support aid to Ukraine.

“My caution would be this: maybe trust the enemy you know,” she said.

Farah Griffin also called on McConnell to use his newfound freedom to denounce Trump completely and share his experiences working with the controversial ex-president.

“Who you are gonna get in Mitch McConnell’s place will be more extreme. They will not support aid to Ukraine most likely, and it is somebody that — Biden, I thought it was a very thoughtful statement, [McConnell] was willing to work with the White House at times, other times not, I will give you that,"​ she said.

Farah Griffin urges McConnell to speak out against Trump's actions

"Why not, in this moment, just say what you truly know?" Farah Griffin suggested.

She emphasized that McConnell's silence over the past three years regarding Trump's actions could be a turning point for him to distance himself from the former president.

“They haven’t spoken in three years, this would be a moment for McConnell to say ‘This is not the right direction for our country, I’m not supporting Donald Trump'."​

Highlighting Trump's disparaging remarks about McConnell's wife, similar to those directed at Ted Cruz, Farah Griffin and Whoopi Goldberg agreed that these incidents alone should have prompted McConnell to sever ties with Trump.
