The View‘s Alyssa Farah Griffin came to the defense of Kamala Harris while discussing the release of the former vice president’s new book about her time in the Biden administration as well as on the campaign trail.

Reports of anonymous Biden aides disparaging Harris for some of the book’s excerpts in which she’s critical of former President Joe Biden got under Griffin’s skin.

“I am frustrated when people don’t put their names to quotes,” Griffin said. “There’s a blind quote, one from a Biden aide but not with their name attached, ‘VP Harris was simply not good at the job. She had basically no substantive role in any of the administration’s key work streams. She would just dive bomb into photo-ops and expose how out of depth she was.'”

“That’s ugly,” replied Sunny Hostin.

“To say that about the first female vice president, the sitting vice president that you served under — when you service in the White House, you serve both the president and the vice president — is extraordinarily disrespectful as far as I’m concerned. And if you’re going to say it, put your name to it,” said Griffin.

Griffin’s assertion drew applause from the audience.

Ana Navarro added, “I would say to my friends in team Biden, be careful clapping back and attacking Kamala because I think it reflects badly on Biden. Ultimately, he picked her. He picked her twice to run with him as vice president. And so I just don’t think it serves anybody to have this kind of back and forth.”

“And, also — I mean, for me — I think Democrats need to figure out how the hell they get out of the political wilderness and help move this country forward. And I hope that Kamala Harris and Biden and his advisers are part of that conversation,” said Navarro.
