There was a noticeable pall over the set of ABC’s ‘The View’ as the co-hosts came to terms with Donald Trump returning to the White House.
All of the co-hosts have made it clear their vote was for Vice President Kamala Harris since she became the Democratic nominee.
Sunny Hostin did not mince words Wednesday morning by stating she was “profoundly disturbed” over what happened overnight, per Mediaite.
Hostin spoke at length about her concern for the future.
“I’m profoundly disturbed. I think if you look at ‘The New York Times’ this morning, the headline was ‘America Makes a Perilous Choice,'” Hostin said. “I think that in 2016, we didn’t know what we would get from a Trump administration. But we know now, and we know now that he will have almost unfettered power. And so I worry not about myself, actually, I don’t worry about my station in life. I worry about the working class. I worry about my mother, a retired teacher. I worry about our elderly and their Social Security and their Medicare. I worry about my children’s future, especially my daughter, who now has less rights than I have.”
She also spoke of Trump being a convicted felon.
“… I’m profoundly disturbed that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution did not prevent someone who participated in an insurrection from becoming president of the United States,” Hostin said. “I think that going forward, the ‘convicted felon’ box on employment applications better be taken off because if you can be the president of the United States then you should not be prevented from employment in this country. And I think our health care system is now at risk.”
