(OPINION) “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin slammed “uneducated white women” for Donald Trump’s victory and said she’s worried about “internment camps” during a moribund episode of the program Wednesday.
“I’m profoundly disturbed… we know now that he will have unfettered power,” Hostin said.
Hostin, wearing all black, said that Donald Trump’s historic win makes her worry for her daughter who now has “less civil rights” than she does.
“I remember my father telling me many, many years ago that I was the first person in his family to enjoy full civil rights and now I have less civil rights than when he told me that.”
The former prosecutor went on to say that America’s healthcare system is now at risk and that Trump’s win makes her worried about “mass deportation and internment camps.”
“I think [Trump’s victory] had nothing to do with policy, I think this was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country.” Hostin faulted white women and latino men for Trump’s victory, and claimed the vice president ran a “flawless campaign.”
“Black women tried to save this country again, last night… what we do not have is white women, who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump — uneducated white women is my understanding. You have Latino men actually, voting more for him,” Hostin opined.
“So why do you think uneducated white women voting against their reproductive health freedoms, and why do you think Latino men voted in favor of someone who is going to deport a majority of his community,” the co-host, dressed in all black, asked Rick Klein, ABC political news director.
“I don’t think white women like being called uneducated white women,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, also in all black, shot back.
