Is Savannah Chrisley the chaos magnet we never knew we needed on The View? With Alyssa Farah Griffin out on maternity leave, Savannah stepped in—and boy, did sparks fly faster than Mercury in retrograde. This week’s episode was a battleground of opinions, especially when the panel dove into Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Munich stumble and, of course, a certain orange-tinted former president’s well-documented verbal gymnastics. Was Savannah just stirring the pot for clicks, or did she land a rare truth bomb about “the recovery” after gaffes? With the cosmos throwing curveballs and media frenzy swirling, one has to ask: how much weight do we really give to slip-ups versus comebacks, especially under February’s intense cosmic spotlight? Buckle up—this three-minute romp through political blunders and TV drama is juicier than a Leo in the spotlight. LEARN MORE

With Alyssa Farah Griffin welcoming her first child, she’s on maternity leave.
The View‘s rotating guest co-hosts are bound to generate controversy.
When it comes to Savannah Chrisley, the backlash is arguably the incentive behind hiring her.
This week, she was at odds with everyone else as the panelists discussed AOC and Donald Trump. But did she make a decent point?

On the Wednesday, February 18 episode of The View, guest co-host Savannah found herself at odds with the other panelists.
Recently, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attended the Munich Security Conference.
While there were much more dramatic moments (Senator Lindsey Graham reportedly pitched a hissy fit at Greenland’s Premier, for example) and the media made it all about 2028 instead of even larger political issues, one moment went viral.
AOC paused when asked about whether the US should send military aid to Taiwan in the event that China invades. She stumbled over her words, which was disappointing.
There are questions about how and why the moment got so much intense and virtually identical coverage immediately. But, regardless, it made the Hot Topics segment — where the panelists discussed the gaffe and the disproportionate backlash.
Naturally, many people compared AOC’s awkward response to Donald Trump, who famously struggles with words and who, more often than not, speaks incoherently.
(Everyone in the world jumbles sentences, in writing and in speech. Most do not give Farrah Abraham a run for her money the way that Trump does.)
Trump personally blasted Ocasio-Cortez after the clip went viral, saying that “she had no idea what was happening.”
Following that bit of apparent projection, The View played a small sampling of America’s mad king’s own blunders.
Guest panelist Savannah argued: “Mispronouncing a word is totally different from not knowing your position on Taiwan.”

We did not expect to say this, but Savannah had an interesting argument.
“What’s important is how you recover from something,” she proposed.
“[Trump] has continued on with his speech,” Savannah suggested, “and then continued on to meet with world leaders.”
Savannah emphasized: “So the recovery is what mattered.”
Not everyone would treat simply plowing forward as synonymous with moving on. But still, it’s an interesting assessment of media attention.

Whoopi spoke up to highlight how there are hundreds of people in Congress, which is why she rarely bats an eye
In contrast, she explained, she holds whoever occupies the Oval Office at any given moment to a higher standard.
“I understand that wholeheartedly,” Savannah replied.
She then argued: “AOC, though, is also the Democrats’ pick for the next election.”
Is she? That would be fantastic, and an excellent pushback to the man who really wants to be the frontrunner in the 2028 Democratic primary (but who must not be), Gavin Newsom.

“You better tell that to Gavin Newsom,” Joy then joked.
Whoopi, who is perhaps one of the most experienced public speakers on the planet — having been a celebrity longer than many of us have been alive — brought things back to the topic of messing up.
“As one who stepped in much poo over the years, you know, it’s just a little message to everybody,” Whoopi said. “None of us is perfect. And this does happen — people stumble.”
She’s right.
As for the coverage, it’s of course possible that a lot of very wealthy, very bad people were waiting to boost any error that AOC might make.
It is also possible that she received disproportionate attention because she so rarely stumbles over her words. In contrast, Trump’s constant struggles with sentence structure allows him to benefit from low expectations.
