The ladies of The View got into a heated exchange on Friday, resulting in co-host Sunny Hostin saying she doesn’t understand Black and Latino Republicans —she even said “I feel like it’s an oxymoron, a Black Republican.”
From Fox News…
During a segment focused on the potential conflict of interest between newly tapped White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her partner, CNN reporter Suzanne Malveaux, Hostin, co-host Ana Navarro and guest co-host Lindsey Granger broke into an all out war of words, as the former declared she didn’t understand Black or Latino Republicans.

Navarro, Hostin and co-host Sara Haines pushed back on the notion that it created a conflict of interest; however, Granger argued it was necessary to be realistic “about what happens when you’re in bed with somebody,” and that people didn’t want to see situations where the media gives a politician an advantage.
The conversation broke down when Navarro pushed back on Granger, declaring that the ability for people with a relationship to work in government and the media without acting unethically was “a novel idea” for a supporter of former President Donald Trump.
Granger declared that she didn’t agree with everything Trump did and that she was “a Black woman first.”
“Are you a Republican?” Hostin asked Granger, to which she confirmed she was.
“I feel like it’s an oxymoron, a Black Republican,” Hostin said, interrupting her.

Sunny, it’s not necessarily the politics we appreciate, it’s the conservative values that we love. You obviously don’t mind crime and drugs destroying the black community, but we do. THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE 🤷🏾♀️
