Savannah Chrisley Addresses ‘Hate’ After Making ‘The View’ Guest Cohost Debut: ‘Standing Firm’
Savannah Chrisley is responding to “hate” after her first day cohosting The View.
“Today was more than a seat at the table… it was a moment of purpose,” Chrisley, 28, captioned an Instagram publish on Tuesday, February 17. “Four women who see the world one way, and one who sees it another…yet we sat together, we talked, we listened. That is what real dialogue in this country is supposed to look like.”
Chrisley was referring to her conservative political beliefs, as The View cohosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Sarah Haines see issues from a extra liberal standpoint.
“I showed up with conviction. Conviction in faith. Conviction in family. Conviction in freedom,” Chrisley continued. “I also showed up with respect… because standing firm in what you believe should never require tearing someone else down.”

Chrisley wrote that she and Behar, 83, “shared laughs” when the cameras stopped rolling regardless of their opposing political stances.
“I chose grace. I chose to meet her where she was, not where past words have been. That is growth. That is strength. That is what moving forward looks like,” Chrisley continued. “We don’t have to agree to coexist. We don’t have to think the same to sit at the same table. And we don’t have to silence ourselves to be accepted.”

Chrisley’s social media caption on Tuesday addressed the widespread backlash.
“To those who have sent hate… I hear you. And I still choose love. Because true tolerance isn’t only for opinions you agree with. It’s for the ones you don’t,” she wrote. “I will never apologize for standing for faith, family, and freedom. But I will always fight for a country where every voice…not just the popular one…gets to be heard. That’s the real view.”
Savannah’s foray into politics got here after her dad and mom, Todd and Julie Chrisleyhad been sentenced to jail in 2022. She fought for her dad and mom’ launch, receiving presidential pardons for Todd and Julie in May 2025. The View‘s cohosts beforehand slammed President Donald Trump‘s determination.
Savannah addressed the present’s previous feedback about her household throughout a December 2025 episode of her “Unlocked” podcast.
“I like doing things that challenge me, [and] “I like doing things that educate me,” she defined. “I’m totally going outside of my comfort zone by doing The View.”
She added, “I mean, this is a show that… these personalities have bashed my family, have bashed me. These are the same women who made a comment to the extent of, ‘Wonder what she had to do for those pardons.'”
