who was recently on “

The View

,” TV’s most-watched daytime talk show.

Hughes was on “The View” March 28 to promote his book “The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America,” per Variety.

That is when he and co-host Sunny Hostin went head to head over racial politics and how to best address poverty in America, per the outlet.

In particular, they argued over Martin Luther King Jr.’s arguments in his 1964 book “Why We Can’t Wait.”

Hostin said Hughes is a conservative, even though Hughes said he is an Independent. He also said he has only voted for Democratic candidates.

“Many in the Black community … believe that you are being used as a pawn by the right, and that you’re a charlatan of sorts,” Hostin said.

Hughes did not stand down to Hostin’s words.

“I don’t think there’s any evidence I’ve been co-opted by anyone, and I think that’s an ad-hominem tactic people use to not address the important conversations we’re having here … No one is paying me to say what I’m saying. I’m saying it because I feel it.”

Hughes admitted he was not familiar with Hostin and wasn’t expecting that kind of hostility from her.

“I didn’t know who Sunny Hostin was. I actually still really don’t know. So I wasn’t expecting necessarily for her to try to ambush me in that way, and attack my character in that way.”
