Sunny Hostin backed by The View bosses despite outrage over 'uneducated white women' claim

As a long-time viewer and ardent fan of these dynamic talk shows, I must say that I find myself constantly intrigued by the unpredictable twists and turns they take. The latest incident involving Joy Behar’s seemingly off-the-cuff comment about Sara Haines’ college romance has once again stirred up a storm of discussions among viewers like me.


As a lifestyle advisor, I find myself reflecting on a recent statement made by Sunny Hostin on The View that has stirred quite a bit of conversation. She suggested that white women who voted for Donald Trump may be ‘uneducated.’ This assertion, naturally, has sparked a wave of disagreement and debate. However, it’s important to note that the show’s management appears to stand by her, expressing no intention to reprimand her for these divisive comments.

56-year-old Hostin, a journalist and attorney who has co-hosted ABC’s popular show for eight years, was debating Trump’s surprising election win over Kamala Harris when she voiced her bewilderment at the significant number of white women who voted for the 78-year-old.

The television personality stated that the demographic analysis showed that educated White women did not seem to support Vice President Harris.

Devon Moster, the spouse of Miami Dolphins player Raheem, was one of those who criticized the individual for their ‘offensive and inappropriate’ remark.

But despite the uproar, producers are reportedly delighted with the reaction, are preparing for a ‘resurgence in viewers’ and do not believe she crossed the line.

A source close to the situation shared with DailyMail.com that Sunny is actively expressing the opinions of numerous Americans at present, and the program is preparing for a significant increase in audience, ratings, and must-watch television.

So far, the producers haven’t asked her to reduce the intensity, likely because they believe its impact is generating conversation.

According to the source, there’s no need for Hostin to modify her remarks as they didn’t cross any lines, and she won’t be advised to soften them.

According to the source, a Trump presidency is great for shows like this because people are extremely engaged. Even if Sunny were to push boundaries significantly, she would likely not get fired, suspended, or told to tone things down.

They explained: ‘She’s on the show primarily because of the unique perspectives she offers. No one is annoyed or disappointed by what Sunny contributes.’

Viewers were outraged by Hostin’s remarks as one Twitter user put it: “Sunny Hostin, a ‘learned’ attorney on TV, criticizing an entire voting group as uneducated, demonstrates that having an education doesn’t automatically mean having intelligence, self-awareness, or social awareness.

A different user remarked: “Sunny Hostin appears to enjoy stating ‘Uneducated White Women,’ which comes across as an offensive remark.

A different viewer commented: ‘Hold on, could it be that Sunny Hostin referred to white women who voted for Trump as “less educated” on more than one occasion? Yet, they’re puzzled as to why they continue to lose elections.’

As a passionate devotee, I couldn’t help but vent my frustration on Reddit: “Massive slip-up introducing educational background into the discussion! You can’t successfully persuade someone once you’ve implied they’re unintelligent.

Another noted: ‘She might as well have called the women she referred to as mouth-breathers or window-lickers.’

A third person expressed, ‘Although I lean left and wouldn’t support Trump, her statement left me utterly surprised. To be honest, it struck me as entirely unappealing.’

One could rephrase it as follows: ‘One person noted: “This statement seems unusual, particularly in a daytime TV setting. It appears she’s offending some of her viewers by making such a comment. It just doesn’t seem sensible.”‘

Another reference mentioned that although Hostin’s assertion was questioned by Alyssa Farah Griffin, she remains undeterred and continues to express her views freely.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “I’ve found myself having differences with Sunny on more than one occasion, but rest assured, I won’t allow those disputes to penetrate my peace.

‘She has been accused of being racist, but the other ladies on the panel know she is not.’

In addition, they had disagreements following Hostin labeling Hispanic voters as ‘biased against women and disrespectful towards them,’ which occurred after a substantial number of these voters shifted away from Senator Harris during the election.

Formally associated with the Trump administration, Farah Griffin pointed out an intriguing fact: Vice President Harris secured Latino voters by a six-point margin in the 2020 election, whereas Joe Biden garnered 33 points and Hillary Clinton earned 38 points in their respective elections in 2020 and 2016.

‘Finally, we talk a lot about these different demographics and assumptions of where they’re going to go,’ Farah Griffin said, noting that one Texas district with a 97 percent Latino population ‘went 75 percentage points for Donald Trump.’

‘Why?’ she questioned, before Hostin interrupted her cohost and said ‘misogyny.’

35-year-old Farah Griffin became visibly upset, raised her hands in exasperation, and emphasized that liberals should learn something from Trump’s impressive victory, suggesting they need to pick up a few lessons.

It was noted that due to her prolonged association with ABC and her legal expertise, Hostin is unlikely to step over any boundaries considered irreparable.

They mentioned that she’s been part of the show for eight years, and there’s no sign of her leaving anytime soon. Her extensive tenure at ABC makes her an invaluable resource to them.

In her role as a legal advisor and researcher, she has a deep understanding of the laws and guidelines that are considered appropriate and inappropriate. While she might stir debates, she always ensures she stays within the boundaries of what is acceptable.

Hostin corrected herself towards the end of Thursday’s show.

She clarified, “I made a mistake in my previous statement. What I meant to say was not ‘uneducated White women,’ but rather ‘White women without a college education,’ based on the poll results.

The decision to back Hostin came just weeks after Joy Behar received a talking to from bosses for ‘crossing the line’ when she exposed Sara Haines’ secret lesbian romance live on air.

The slightly contentious host, age 82, brought up briefly the past same-sex relationship of Haines, aged 47, during college, with her parents present in the audience.

Harman interjected fellow host Whoopi Goldberg, aged 68, to inquire whether Haines intended to delve into the topic of her romantic relationship with her parents during their forthcoming interview on The View’s Behind the Table podcast.

Her co-hosts reprimanded her for making Haines feel embarrassed, and superiors admonished her that such a remark was inappropriate.

As a dedicated follower, I found myself in hot water due to a comment I made on air regarding my colleague Sara Haines’ private life, specifically her lesbian romance. Sources close to the situation shared with DailyMail.com that I overstepped boundaries by disclosing something discussed off-air.
