In one of the most heated disagreements since Alyssa Farah Griffin joined the Hot Topics table last year, she and Sunny Hostin got into it over Former VP Mike Pence when Griffin refused to comment on Pence’s presidential campaign until she heard more from him. The ex-White House staffer’s stance prompted Hostin to accuse her of being “incapable of defending a man” she worked for — referring to Pence — which set her off.
“Sunny likes to make it personal with me,” she fumed, as Hostin ignored her and read off a list of Pence’s political failures. “Are you gonna give me a chance to answer? I mean, this is absurd. This is not what the show is about. This is Barbara Walters’ legacy. Let the woman speak.”
