The View host Sunny Hostin spoke out against supporters of Donald Trump on a post-election episode of the talk show, focusing on one particular demographic.
“Black women tried to save this country again, last night…what we do not have is white women, who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump—uneducated white women is my understanding,” Hostin said, according to The New York Post.

“You have Latino men actually, voting more for him,” she added, going on to press ABC political news director Rick Klein for his opinion.
“So why do you think uneducated white women voting against their reproductive health freedoms, and why do you think Latino men voted in favor of someone who is going to deport a majority of his community?” Hostin asked.
“I don’t think white women like being called uneducated white women,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out, prompting Hostin to later amend her statement, saying she should have used the term “non college-educated white women.”
Some viewers took issue with her comments, however, including Devon Mostert, the wife of Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert.

“Uneducated white woman here,” Mostert wrote alongside a clip of Hostin’s comments on her Instagram story, per the Daily Mail.
“Sunny, I GUARANTEE I can school you on any given political topic on any given day.” she continued, adding on another post, “Can you IMAGINE if the role was flipped here? If a white woman said this? There would be OUTRAGE. Racism goes allllll kinda ways. And ALL WAYS are disgusting and unacceptable.”
According to The Guardian, “although women as a whole have historically voted for Democrats, white women have not. Instead, over the last 72 years, a plurality of white women have voted for the Democratic candidate only twice, in 1964 and 1996. On Tuesday, they once again went for Trump—just as they did in 2016 and 2020.”
Black women, on the other hand, “are still the backbone of the Democratic party. Harris won them by 85 points—a bigger lead than any other gendered and racial group measured by CNN.”
