Tensions rose on ABC’s “The View” on Friday as co-hosts discussed anti-Israel protests on college campuses across the country.
The co-organizers clashed with each other on several points regarding the protests, firstly that footage of the chaos on campus would help former President Trump’s re-election chances, and secondly that the number of victims of these protests It was about who he was.
Co-host Sunny Hostin brings up the fact that people may be distracted from the January 6th Capitol riot because of these new chaotic images, and co-host Sarah • Showed obvious anger at Haynes, sparking debate on both topics. Student demonstrators have caused a stir by claiming that they are being victimized by the police in places such as the United States.
The debate over the protests began after discussions about President Trump’s upcoming donation event, as the former president sought to vet his potential running mate.

The View co-host Sunny Hostin discusses whether anti-Israel protesters on college campuses are victimized by police with co-host Sarah Haines.
Even though most of the women on the committee ridiculed Trump’s legal troubles and his running mate nomination, Haines burst the bubble and blamed the chaos seen in the news stemming from college protests. He pointed out that many people have been forced to participate in fundraising activities. .
“One of the people involved with this event said that donors were flocking to this event because of the horrific images they see on TV every night,” Haynes said, which seemed to irritate Hostin. .
The co-host interrupted Haynes and asked, “Don’t they remember the footage from January 6th? Don’t they remember the footage of that chaos?”
“I think with humans, literally, they’re seeing recent visions, so the nighttime image is more important to them now than it was on January 6th,” Haynes said. insisted.
Hostin forcefully retorted, “January 6th is etched in my memory, and it should be etched in the memory of every American.”

Co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin acknowledged Hostin’s point, but reinforced Haynes’ point, saying, “There are some that are completely different, as they should be, but a lot of the images are similar, and that, you know. As you can see, we will find out from now on,” he added. Republicans evoke the same sense of lawlessness when they see windows broken and property defaced on college campuses. ”
After discussing some of the violence and destruction that occurred during campus protests, Hostin said anti-Israel agitators are facing violence and fear.
“Counter-protesters also came and caused violence in these encampments. Let’s not forget that part,” Hostin said.
Co-host Joy Behar interjected, saying, “You know what? There are a lot of parts to this story.”
Hostin went on to say, “Can I just say this? The kids protesting have grown up with aggressive firefighting training, and they are exposed to the kind of police violence they see on the nightly news.” Let’s not forget that it’s also the same thing.” She was then cut off.
Mr. Haines sympathized with the college students who were unable to attend classes due to the protests, and refuted Mr. Hostin’s points. “Some students can’t walk across campus. The antithesis of free speech is threatening to someone. To walk across campus, you have to say what you believe,” she said.
“That’s a problem, too,” Haynes asserted.
