Savannah Chrisley will co-host “The View” despite the show’s hosts slamming President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon her parents, Julie and Todd Chrisley.
“I am co-hosting ‘The View’ the week of February 15th, so I’ll be on ‘The View’ all week,” Savannah said on her “Unlocked” podcast Tuesday.
“I’m so excited for that because I like doing things that challenge me, [and] I like doing things that educate me,” she added.
The former reality star said her forthcoming appearance on the talk show, which is hosted by Sunny Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sara Haines and Ana Navarro, will be “outside of [her] comfort zone.”
“I mean, this is a show that… these personalities have bashed my family, have bashed me,” Savannah, 28, claimed of the ladies.
“These are the same women who made a comment to the extent of, ‘Wonder what she had to do for those pardons,’” the podcaster added.
In May, Trump, 79, announced he would be issuing pardons to “terrific people” Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, who were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion in June 2022.
Julie, who was sentenced to seven years behind bars, was released from the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Ky.
Todd, who received a 12-year sentence, was released from the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Fla.
The move prompted backlash from several people, including the women of “The View.”
“According to this administration, if you are a reality star with a lot of money, and a tax cheat, and you commit fraud, then that’s good,” Behar, 83, said during a May episode.
“We’re going to give you a pardon,” she added. “But poor people on Medicaid or food stamps, according to this administration, those are the real moochers.”
Navarro, 53, chimed in, claiming the move was “not ethical.”
