In the critical part of the discussion, Griffin says agrees with Liz Cheney on refusing to support Trump, referring to him as an “election denier.”
Beginning the conversation, Whoopi Goldberg asked, “Is it — is it time for a third party?”
Griffin responded, “I think it might be, because the way the parties are structured now and the primary system, we don’t elect the most qualified people.”
She continued, “We elect the people who cater the most to the base, which is the minority of both parties, rather than people who are most likely to want to get things done, to work across the aisle.”
“I’ll say this, I agree about halfway with Liz Cheney,” Griffin continued. “I will full-stop never support an election denier, I still want to work from within with the Republican Party.”
“I believe politics is cyclical, and the Donald Trump moment which has consumed all of us for so long will eventually come to an end,” Griffin added.
“And I hope to influence the party from within. The Donald Trump party is not a conservative party, it’s a populist, nationalist, right-wing party that I have about as much in common with as I do Bernie Sanders.”
“I’d be open to it on a case-by-case basis,” she said. “I’d have to look at their policies, and that’s kind of where I am.”
