Host Alyssa Farah Griffin drew attention from internet users after making an on-air gaffe during the ABC program The View. While commenting on Donald Trump’s absence from his son Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding, she accidentally referred to the ceremony as a “funeral.”
“A father should try never to miss his son’s funeral… I mean, wedding!”, Griffin said, prompting immediate reactions from the audience and the show’s other hosts.
Griffin, who served as White House communications director during Donald Trump’s administration, quickly tried to correct the mistake and blamed the mix-up on exhaustion from caring for her 3-month-old newborn baby.
The comment came during a discussion about Trump’s decision not to attend Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding to Bettina Anderson, held in the Bahamas. The president had previously stated that he remained in Washington due to government matters and tensions involving Iran.
During the debate, the hosts criticized Trump’s absence from the family event. Joy Behar even joked that perhaps he would have attended “if the wedding had been at McDonald’s.”
