From Fox News: The co-hosts of “The View” erupted on Thursday after conservative guest host Savannah Chrisley defended President Donald Trump against those who call him a racist, including co-host Sunny Hostin.
The co-hosts discussed Trump’s celebration of Black History Month at the White House.
“I think, you know, when it comes to the event that happened yesterday, what’s so hard for me to witness is people stating that the president is a racist, because I’ve seen him firsthand. He saved one of my best friends’ lives, a Black woman who has been with him for —,” Chrisley began.
“He is a racist,” Hostin interrupted, as Chrisley continued and repeated that Trump saved her Black friend’s life.
“So, he has a Black friend. He’s a racist,” Hostin shot back.
Whoopi Goldberg jumped in, claiming that Trump is a racist because he “targeted” DEI programs.
She also pointed to a video Trump shared on Truth Social, which was actually about voter fraud, but had a two-second blip at the end of it which the original poster had accidentally included which was from a totally separate “Lion King” parody video.
“You know, when you shared racist posts about the Obamas, when you pursued the death penalty for the exonerated five after you knew they had been exonerated. These are the reasons that his behavior is so hard,” Goldberg claimed.
Hostin also fumed over the video and again insisted Trump is racist, while Chrisley stood her ground.
