Is “The View” about to get a whole lot Trumpier? If Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle have their way, yes!
According to reports, the popular daytime talk show has been searching for a replacement for Meghan McCain, whose last episode will be July 30. Now, an ABC “insider” (read: Don Jr.) tells the Daily Mail that one of the names being seriously considered is none other than his girlfriend.
Don Jr., er, the “insider” says that if ABC wants to be gutsy, they’ll do a “massive shake up” and hire someone who will “give the other women a run for their money,” especially Joy Behar, who is purportedly freaking out because she just realized “they could be getting someone much further right on the political spectrum than Meghan who won’t put up with her crap.”
“[Kimberly] would be great as she would literally prosecute the other members of the panel every day of the week,” the insider adds. “One of our highest-rated episodes ever was when she stopped by the show with Don Jr.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Ana Navarro is a Republican and has been a part-time co-host on the show since 2018, but the insider says she “doesn’t deserve the chair” because, “She is not a Republican in the true sense of the word. All she does is slam people who voted for Trump.”
They say the show needs a “Trump Republican” who can “reach more of the available audience at home.”
Just in case it wasn’t already totally obvious who this insider is, Don Jr. tweeted the Daily Mail article yesterday along with the caption, “LOL, hey @ABC even I’d tune in to see @kimguilfoyle do this. Kim vs the other 4 doesn’t seem like a fair fight though. You may need a few more libs. Chaos behind the scenes at The View as the show scrambles to find a ‘Trump Republican’.”
LOL, hey ?@ABC? even I’d tune in to see ?@kimguilfoyle? do this. Kim vs the other 4 doesn’t seem like a fair fight though. You may need a few more libs.

And now, the responses…
Remember that time that Kimberly Guilfoyle got fired from Fox because she was making sexual explicit comments to her coworkers.

So instead of “my father” on repeat every episode, we’d get “Don’s father” ad nauseam.

I think you have to pass a drug test to be considered and based on her recent public appearances I’m not sure she’d pass

She has already been fired from 1 news agency due to sexual misconduct.
She is now blacklisted and unhireable.— Visibility Unlimited (@WilliamFocht5) July 23, 2021
Loudest in the room is not actually the one that is correct.

I don’t think the network will take a chance on a Ex Fox host fired for sexual harassment.
— Michael Petty (@5MilesHigher) July 23, 2021
They’re looking for a host, not a parasite.

I know she’s part of your brand with the sexual harassment and all. But, usually, that’s disqualifies someone.
— Elizabeth (@Elizabeth_USA27) July 23, 2021
@ABC (probably) has a policy against hiring ppl with sexual harassment issues.

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

Just because Trump has followers does not make him legitimate. Bin Laden still has supporters. There’s no room on “The View” or any other legitimate broadcast for Trumpism.
mateo
Conflict makes for good TV; it’s the nature of the beast. Personally, I’d love to see both Joy and Whoopi tear this botox bitch a new one.
Mister P
It would make for good television, but I’ll continue not watching.
Openminded
My thoughts exactly.
jcool
there is a reason they don’t air any of the real housewives shows at 11 am. don jr was just trying to help his chick get a check.
JromeGervais09
Oh, God NOOOOOO!!!!! Cut the bitches tongue off.
Max
the insider that said the show needs a “Trump Republican” has obviously now idea that ABC isn’t like FOXNEWS.
BoomerMyles
Hey, why isn’t Queerty covering the tweet from Meghan on Wednesday where she specifically called out Queerty as “bullshit”?
Cam
Funny it didn’t show up on a Google search,
Then again, who cares what Meghan says? She’s just another sad, unqualified conspiracy promoter.
Mr. Stadnick
I am so glad I don’t watch this piece of crap TV show and now I know I will continue to not watch this. ABC is really scraping the bottom of the barrel if they are remotely thinking about Guilfoyle a woman who has slept her way to the bottom.
This story is an alarmist piece of shit writing. This is NOT journalism it is biased and poorly written. Maybe Queerity could get a quote from ABC or even say ABC/The View did not respond proving the typist at least tried to contacted them.
Mack
Personally I think she would be too coked up to make sense. She has enough trouble doing that when she’s not.
Fahd
Just goes to show how much Meghan has debased the View’s brand that people would actually engage on the suggestion that Guilfoyle would be hired, which she won’t be.
Also, I can’t imagine she and Don Jr. being so hyper-sexualized without there being underlying substance abuse issues.
ddonts
She is too ugly and too repulsive to be on television. She has a face for staying home.
Cam
The ratings for the View went up when Meghan was off and Ana Navaro was on.
If they got somebody even more right wing, the ratings would tank.
And you can totally tell the article was a plant by the Trump’s, because just like the right wing trolls here, they’re obsessed with Joy Behar.
Essie
I can’t imagine viewers would stick around to hear that woman scream everyday. She seems to enjoy talking about sex and she is also ugly and an obvious druggie. ABC doesn’t need any of that on a morning show.
Matthewnow
Pass me the eight ball Joy errrrrr I mean the salt.
mikeTigg
One more week of that sad blonde toxic bag of Republican entitled shiite named Meaghan and she’s gone. Hopefully Ann Navarro will replace her full time.
paul dorian lord fredine
i’m sure whoopi would have something to say about that. nothing wrong with having a conservative point of view but not a trumper. meghan was bad but junior’s cougar screaming every day? arrrrrrr!!!
Bengali
Massive Dump Receptable Douche Jr thinks the episode was popular because people like him and his motorboat receiver, Kim – fired from Fox News due to sexual advances she initiated.
People watched primarily to see Twit Jr make a complete ass out of himself which he did.
Not that anyone cares but I will not watch if they give air time to a full-on right wing nut job. Her association with the Trump family should disqualify her from consideration.
jcool
i did enjoy the fact that for the entire interview they kept him talking about politics, then ran out of time without even mentioning the title of his book that he was there to promote
GrizzleyMichael
I will stop watching the View if they get this crazy ass bitch on the show. ?????????????
Liquid Silver
This seems…unlikely. The name isn’t commonly known, she’s a bit too crazy, and I wouldn’t give her six months before doing something so nuts they’d have to get rid of her.
dhmonarch89
why does there always have to be a fight- just ratings, right? Ratings were up when Navarro did full time during McCain’s maternity leave- she deserves it. If Trump Jr.’s mistress gets the gig- I’ll never watch agai- hell, it’s a challenge to watch now- I tend to change channels for 3-4 minutes every time Meagan speaks- ‘America Says’ is on the Game Show Channel, so I watch that. I think Whoopi and Joy would just leave if the producers sign Guilfoyle.
Jack
If they need a feminine Republican voice that represents the Trump base—–Jered is your girl!
Mister P
Good one Jack!
Terrycloth
Oh no. This ugly Gargoyle should go to FOX. The girls on the view would rip her a new one on her first day ..
Preppy1000
Guilfoyle is seriously mentally unstable and too much of a risk. Also Whoppi and Joy would easily tear her apart.
Doug
Pass the popcorn, I’d definitely watch! KG is a crazy lady, I’d love to see the sparks fly between her and the rest of the team.
Den
I think they will opt for a more intelligent, less self absorbed, more stable republican than Meghan. That is most definitely NOT Guilfoyle!
A screaming, drug addled overly made up dullard would not attract an audience.
cuteguy
There are many other GQP females that can take that spot or they can bring back ElizaB*tch back now that BaBa Walters is gone
Cam
The problem with the View, and with the Republican Party is that instead of having on a “Republican” or a “Conservative” like Ana Navarro or Nichole Wallace, they now think they have to put on a right wing conspiracy nut for “Balance”.
The same way CNN, whenever they used to talk about LGBTQ rights would bring on somebody from a bigoted hate group to talk about it.
jockjack5
KG is a true skank.
Her only future success in TV will probably be limited to being a spokeswoman for a feminine hygiene product, you know, the kind that mitigate “odors” and such.
