Is ‘The View’ On Vacation This Week?

Sunny Hostin was appalled by one politician vying to be Donald Trump‘s VP pick this fall, mocking Rep. Byron Donalds for his words about the Jim Crow era on this morning’s episode of The View.

Hostin and her co-hosts shared their horrified reactions to Donalds’ words, which he delivered at a Philadelphia campaign event on Tuesday (June 4) in support of Trump. The View first played a clip of some of his remarks, which implied Black families were better off under Republican leadership and had been more united under Jim Crow laws.

“During Jim Crow, the Black family was together,” Donalds told the crowd at what NBC News described as a “Black voter outreach event.”

He added, “During Jim Crow, more Black people were not just conservative, because Black people have always been conservative-minded, but more Black people voted conservatively.”

After the clip concluded, Hostin cut to Hakeem Jeffries’ response to Donalds, which he delivered on the House floor on Wednesday (June 5).

“We were not better off when a young boy named Emmett Till could be brutally murdered without consequence because of Jim Crow. We were not better off when Black women could be sexually assaulted without consequence because of Jim Crow,” he said, in part. “We were not better off when people could be systematically lynched without consequence because of Jim Crow.”

Hostin simply sipped from her mug and looked at the camera, but delivered her own takedown of Donalds later in the segment.

Accusing Donalds of “pandering” to Trump, Hostin told the panel, “I thought it was interesting that the framing was a room of Black Republicans,” before putting her hands above her eyes and pretending to search.

“Where are they? Where are they?” she asked. “Because if you look at the stats, 81% of Black men are a part of the Democratic party. Black voters consistently align with the Democratic party. Over 95% of Black women are part of the Democratic party. So these Black men that he was speaking with, I’d love to see them. It would be like looking at unicorns.”

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
