ABC News legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Monday on ABC's “The View” that President-elect Donald Trump's victory shows racism and misogyny are “alive and alive.” Ta.
“As a country, we know that it is very difficult for people to believe that racism and misogyny are alive and well,” Hostin began. “I don't think we like to think such things about ourselves, our neighbors, our friends. But even if your lived experience doesn't tell you it exists, my Experience tells us it still exists, and the facts bear it out.”
She continued, “If you look closely, there's clear racism in who voted for Trump and who voted for Kamala Harris. It's very clear. It's clear by race. Not only that, but it is also evident by education. Therefore, it is not true. The idea is that for some reason people who went to college voted for her at a higher rate than people who didn't. , there was so much backlash because I think this is an uncomfortable and inconvenient truth for this country.”
“What he's trying to say is that people didn't vote for him because of racism and misogyny,” said co-host Alyssa Farrar Griffin. They voted for him because I think the biggest commonality is that people want a good life and the ability to provide for their families. ”
“Black people are one of the poorest demographics in this country, and yet they voted for Kamala Harris,” Hostin said.
“It was divisive and more people voted for Donald Trump than historically,” Griffin said. I think there is such a desire. If you think the majority of this country voted because of racism and misogyny, you're missing out. Most of my family doesn't have a college degree. ”
“I said most of it. Statistics are statistics,” Hostin said.
Griffin responded, “They didn't write. I voted for Donald Trump because of racism.”
“You can't dissect these two people,” Hostin said.
Griffin said, “Yes, you can.”
co-host Whoopi Goldberg said. Everyone, take a breath. Take a breath. Take a beat. ”
