The View celebrates Harris DC speech: 'It didn’t look like a white nationalist rally'
The co-hosts of "The View" were excited to see the footage from the Washington, D.C., rally on Tuesday night at the White House Elipse.
Former Donald Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin said that she was grateful to see Vice President Kamala Harris reclaim the space that was used on Jan. 6, 2021, before the crowd marched to the Capitol for the violent attack.
"These remarks hit me last night, I got to say. I found myself getting emotional," Griffin confessed. "The last time we saw a major national figure speak from the Ellipse, it was Donald Trump on Jan. 6th."

She recalled being in Florida after she'd already resigned while watching the day unfold.
"I had already resigned when he asked if Mike Pence had the courage to do this, and I had this pit in my stomach thinking you just put him in so much danger," recalled Griffin. "There is a mob of people who are ready to march up because you told them to. So, this imagery of standing and reclaiming that space ... was incredibly powerful."
She also noted that a woman standing with the White House behind her was a powerful image.
But Sunny Hostin looked at the crowd at the Harris rally and said that she saw America.
"We saw someone that was presidential, most importantly," said Hostin. "We saw someone that was ready and competent, who outlined her to-do list and what she would do for the country."
She continued, celebrating the diversity of the audience.
"One of my major takeaways is to look at the audience; 75,000 people were, you know, supporting her," she said. "And it looked like the United States of America that I know. Black, White, Latino, LGBTQ, old, young, everyone was there. And it looked like the country I know. It did not look like a white nationalist rally."
