The View's Alyssa Farah Griffin admitted her frustration with the Republican Party over its support for Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act and other similar bills around the country.
Griffin was the White House director of strategic communications under President Donald Trump. Since then, she has become a CNN contributor and a host of The View.

"When you do something like the so-called Don’t Say Gay bill, you’re losing voters like me," she told her co-hosts. "You’re also losing young voters."
The Parental Rights in Education Act, signed last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), prohibits the teaching of content related to sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. It further requires schools to notify parents if students request to be referred to by different names or pronouns.
On Wednesday, the Florida Board of Education approved a new rule that would expand portions of the law to apply to all grades. The rule similarly bans any classroom discussion on sexual orientation and gender identity — unless it is expressly required by the state curriculum standards.
The rule will take effect beginning in one month.
"I’m so frustrated with Republicans running so far right and out of touch with actual, real, living, breathing Republican voters that it makes it impossible to support them," she said.

According to Griffin, "The vast majority of this country supports the LGBTQ community. Eight in 10 Americans believe that we need more protections to make sure they're not discriminated against. Sixty-seven percent of Republicans believe that."
"The biggest voting block in 2024 will be Gen Z-ers and millennial voters. We are the generation of marriage equality," she added.
