The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin took shots at Fox News host Mark Levin and his call for billionaires to step up and help Donald Trump post a $454 million bond.

Trump was ordered in a civil judgement to pay the large amount after being found guilty in a New York fraud case. Even with the an appeal, Trump still needs to post the bond. The former president’s lawyers recently revealed that contacting more than 30 underwriters led them to the conclusion that posting the full bond is a “practical impossibility.”

On Wednesday’s The View, Farah Griffin, a former communications official in Trump’s White House, drew attention to Levin’s X, formerly Twitter, post calling for billionaires to step up and help Trump. She also took a shot at his famous “The Great One” moniker.

“Can we talk about some of these folks at Fox News are raging that these billionaires are not stepping up to give the money to Trump and one of them was mark Levin, somebody who refers to himself as the great one, so that kind of tells you all you need to know about him, who has a reported net worth of $50 million but he’s not ponying up,” she said.

Joy Behar asked how Levin made his millions, and Farah Griffin replied, “right wing media empire.” She argued Trump has been nothing but bad for conservative media, pointing to Fox’s nearly $800 million defamation suit settlement as an example.

“He’s kind of hurt people on both sides,” Farah Griffin said, going on to praise her former boss Mike Pence for recently refusing to endorse Trump.

In a Wednesday post to X, Levin re-upped his call for “GOP billionaires” to help Trump. He also lashed out at the “Democrat Party media” upset over his stance.

“Apparently, the leftwing Democrat media goons and disgruntled Never Trumpers are very upset that I wondered where the Republican billionaires were to assist Trump with a loan to prevent the Democrat Party mobsters in NYC from stealing his properties while he seeks an appeal,” he wrote. “Let me repeat it, so all the media thugs who may have missed it will see it! Where are these GOP billionaires? Hopefully, they’ll step up and perhaps are now doing so.”
