(OPINION) “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin compared White suburban women voting Republican to “roaches voting for Raid” on Thursday, outraging one of her fellow panelists.
During a discussion about the upcoming midterm elections, the hosts discussed major issues likely to affect voters’ decisions heading into the ballot box.
“What’s also surprising to me is the abortion issue. I read a poll just yesterday that White Republican suburban women are now going to vote Republican,” Hostin said, appearing to refer to surveys showing White women backing Republicans in 2022. “It’s almost like roaches voting for Raid [roach spray], right?”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin quickly interjected, as the two women began talking over one another. Farah Griffin said that Hostin’s comparison was insulting to the voter, while Hostin continued to rip into GOP-backing women for going against their own “self-interest.”
It was yet another incendiary remark from the left-wing ABC host about conservatives, who has also attacked Black and Latino Republicans and said Nikki Haley was a “chameleon” who was trying to hide her Indian heritage. (SOURCE)
