During a segment of "The View" this week, host Alyssa Farah Griffin compared the unhinged whiteness of a recent Republican press conference to announce Rep. Mike Johnson's speaker nomination to that of an eerie detail from "The Shining."
Referencing a photo seen in the 1980 horror film — directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall — which shows a party of all white faces smiling at the camera in a soulless fashion, she remarked to her co-hosts that it was basically the same vibe during the presser — footage of which was lacking other ethnicities in a very noticeable way.
