A co-host of ABC’s “The View” is suggesting sexism played a role in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ decision of who he would endorse in the 2024 presidential campaign.

On Monday, conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin ripped into DeSantis’ endorsement of former President Donald Trump over former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.

“There’s some sexism we haven’t talked about,” Griffin insisted.

She elaborated:

“Ron Desantis actually intellectually knows that Nikki Haley is more qualified and more fit to be the GOP nominee. He’s a Harvad grad, he’s a Yale undergrad, he served in the Navy. He knows Donald Trump is not better than her. He threw in some jab at her, she’s like ‘warmed-over corporatism.’ I’m sorry, it’s giving sexism.”

Griffin also criticized former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) for dropping out of the race and criticizing Haley in leaked audio, and declining to endorse her.

“It feels like the boys can’t handle losing to women,” she added.

On Sunday, DeSantis noted his distant second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses and said he “prayed and deliberated on the way forward.”

“If there was anything I could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, I would do it. But, I can’t ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don’t have a clear path to victory. Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign,” he announced.

The news comes days ahead of the New Hampshire Republican primary.

However, he chose to endorse Trump instead of Haley.
