Abby Huntsman, daughter of Jon, signs on as new co-host on The View.

She'll join the show when it returns in September after their summer hiatus. Coming over from FOX, she'll join Meghan McCain in presenting the conservative view on the show.

Her father, Gov. Jon Huntsman, is currently tRump’s U.S. Ambassador to Russia.

(I was hoping they'd sign Tara Setmayer instead.)

I absolutely take your word on this.

I remember her father was one of the few that didn’t support Bush.

Oh well. I’ve learned, sometimes the harder way , that the only good republican is not a Republican.

Thanks for the light.

do pay attention to all of this so I trust them enough to pass this on.

I guess those who watch The View will have to see for themselves.

You're Welcome

empty words, she is absolute zero w/o her father’s name. I don’t believe anyone is taking her seriously; certainly not kgop, definately not dems; maybe some independents. I will always remember her as someine who did not stand up for her father. I am afraid it will be too late when she realizes what kind of dauther she truly is and what kind of example she is setting for her children. No loving children would ever tolerate what trump had said about her father.

Her addition to the show doesn't bode well for the direction the show will be taking. For whatever reason, The View is my guilty pleasure. I may have to reassess my viewing.
