“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” she said.

Griffin admitted Clinton was highly qualified but ran during an “anti-dynasty time.”

She added Harris was not a good at communicating.

“She was not the best female candidate we were ever going to see run,” Griffin said.

When Behar asked who was the best female candidate, Griffin responded, “We haven’t had one yet.”

Co-host Sara Haines said Obama would win if she ever ran for president and Griffin agreed.

Co-host Ana Navarro talked of asking Harris about the country not being ready during a commercial break in October.

“She said, I refuse to tell little girls, specifically little girls of color, that they’re out of the game just because of who they are,” Navarro said, restating what Harris said.

Co-host Sunny Hostin did not agree. Hostin has argued that the U.S. is a misogynistic country after the last election.

“That’s great, I think that is very aspirational and that’s wonderful. Because of my lived experience, as an Afro-Latina, I’m able to look at this world with a different prism, and I’m able to tell this country and tell this audience and tell my fellow co-hosts some uncomfortable truths,” Hostin said. “This is a country based on racism and slavery, and founded in it, there is systemic racism and misogyny.”

“I never met anyone that raises their hand and says, ‘I’m racist.’ However, there are people that seem to be able to look the other way when it comes to racism,” she added. “So you have a president who traffics in misogyny, who traffics in xenophobia, who traffics in sexism, and won against a Black woman.”
