But Griffin insisted she’d give Trump credit for a win, saying Americans must “be able to cheer for wins when they happen, and call out relentlessly the wrongdoing.”
Nine months later, Trump did exactly what Griffin said would earn her praise.
Trump’s Foreign Policy Victory
Earlier this month, President Trump brokered a landmark peace deal between Israel and Hamas — bringing all 20 surviving Israeli hostages home after more than two years in captivity.
TIME Magazine even dubbed it his greatest foreign policy “triumph.” The ceasefire took effect October 11, and by October 13, every surviving hostage had been released.
Trump received a standing ovation in the Israeli Knesset before flying to Egypt for the signing ceremony attended by world leaders.
Even Democrats couldn’t deny the impact. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer praised the effort, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed Trump as “the greatest friend that the State of Israel has ever had in the White House.”
It was a massive win for U.S. diplomacy — and for Trump’s record.
But Where’s the MAGA Hat?
When Monday rolled around, viewers expected Griffin to keep her word. Instead, she offered polite words of acknowledgment — and no hat.
“Whether you like Trump or not, I think he, I think [Special Envoy] Steve Witkoff, and I think Jared Kushner do deserve credit for this deal,” Griffin said.
She described it as a “historic” and “massive diplomatic achievement.”
But the promised MAGA hat never appeared.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung didn’t mince words.
“It’s time to put up or shut up,” Cheung told Fox News. “This person is so thirsty for attention she worked against President Trump as he pursued—and ultimately achieved—a historic peace deal. Instead of hanging around the Bombay Club, she should say thank you to President Trump.”
The Pattern of a “Never-Trumper”
For those who’ve followed Griffin’s career, her backpedaling is hardly shocking.
Once part of Trump’s inner circle, she resigned weeks before his first term ended — and quickly reinvented herself as a media darling for the anti-Trump crowd.
She’s since joined CNN, co-hosted The View, and even admitted to voting for Kamala Harris in 2024 — her first Democratic vote ever.
She’s called Trump “wholly unfit to be in office” and “terrifying” as a potential 2025 president. She even cooperated with the partisan January 6 Committee alongside Cassidy Hutchinson and Sarah Matthews.
To liberal networks, she’s the “reasonable Republican” — one who’ll bash Trump but occasionally say he got something right.
Until he actually does.
“Principled” Conservatism Exposed
The MAGA hat moment exposes what many conservatives have long known: the Never-Trump movement runs on selective outrage and convenient amnesia.
These pundits claim they’ll “give Trump credit when it’s deserved,” yet always find excuses when the time comes.
Griffin’s broken promise became a symbol of that hypocrisy — especially after Trump supporters flooded social media with reminders of her on-air pledge.
Donald Trump Jr. reposted the clip, captioning it, “Sending this to the top. Let’s go.”
Conservative commentator Collin Rugg added, “Do it, @Alyssafarah.”
Thousands echoed the same demand: keep your word.
But Griffin didn’t — and that choice revealed everything.
Because the truth is, the moment she dons that red hat — even for a single show — her media value evaporates. Her co-hosts made it clear months ago: “Please don’t do that.”
She can’t praise Trump without risking her seat on one of the most liberal daytime panels on television.
So, instead of integrity, she chose her career.
Alyssa Farah Griffin’s empty promise wasn’t just about a hat. It was about credibility, character, and courage — three things her former boss never lacked.
And as Trump’s peace deal cements his global legacy, Griffin’s silence cements hers: another “Never-Trump” conservative who can’t bring herself to admit when he wins.
Because for them, honesty doesn’t pay — but bashing Trump does.
The Hell with the view. It`s garbage. And should be taken off TV permanently.
