Is “The View” about to become much more Trumpier? If Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle are successful, yes!
According to reports, the popular daytime talk show is looking for a replacement for Meghan McCain, whose final episode will take place on July 30. Now an ABC “insider” (read: Don Jr.) tells the Daily Mail that one of the names to be seriously considered is none other than his girlfriend.
Don Jr., uh, “the insider” says that if ABC is to be brave, they’ll do a “massive overhaul” and hire someone who “will give other women a chance for their money,” especially Joy Behar, who is supposed to panic because she just realized “they could have someone much more to the right on the political spectrum than Meghan who can’t stand her bullshit.”
“[Kimberly] would be great because she would literally chase the other panel members every day of the week, ”the insider adds. “One of our top rated episodes was when she stopped off on the show with Don Jr.”
Ana Navarro has been a Republican and part-time co-host of the show since 2018, but the insider says she “doesn’t deserve the chair” because “She’s not a Republican in the truest sense. what it does is criticize the people who voted for Trump.
They say the show needs a “Republican Trump” who can “reach more of the available audience at home.”
Just in case it wasn’t already quite obvious who this insider is, Don Jr. tweeted the Daily Mail article yesterday with the caption: “LOL, hey @ABC, although I would log in to see @kimguilfoyle do this. Kim against the other 4 doesn’t seem like a fair fight though. You may need a few more libraries. The chaos behind the scenes at The View as the show scrambles to find a “Republican Trump.”

And now the answers …
Remember the time Kimberly Guilfoyle was fired from Fox for making explicit sexual comments to her coworkers.

So instead of “my dad” in every repeated episode, we would have “Don’s dad” ad nauseam.

I think you need to take a drug test to be considered and based on her recent public appearances I’m not sure she’s passing

She was previously fired from a news agency for sexual misconduct.
She is now blacklisted and impossible to hire.

The loudest in the room is not actually the correct one.

I don’t think the network will take a chance on an Ex Fox host fired for sexual harassment.

They are looking for a host, not a parasite.

I know she’s part of your brand with sexual harassment and everything. But usually it disqualifies someone.

@ABC (probably) has a policy against hiring people with sexual harassment issues.

I’ve never watched it before and would definitely never watch it with her there.
