“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin complained Friday that he was “stuck” in the US under President Donald Trump, claiming that the nation is more “racist” than anywhere else in Europe.
Co-hosts responded to comedian Rosie O’Donnell’s move to Ireland to avoid Trump. Co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin argued that Americans have more opportunities and rights than many people in European countries. Hostin accused American democracy of failing, claiming that O’Donnell was fleeing the United States.
“I remind people too. I think Americans love to think we are far from Europe. “That’s not exactly the case. We continue to be one of the most ethnically diverse countries on the planet. We are one of the countries where you are most likely to come from one socioeconomic class, and in your lifetime, it’s completely different. This table doesn’t exist in many of Europe. In the matter of LGBTQ rights, we are as sophisticated as most of Europe.”
“But we’re also pretty racist,” Hostin said. Griffin points out that the United States is the most diverse. “It seems like it’s not working for anyone because it’s a pretty young democracy and doesn’t seem to work well right now. It’s Rosie O’Donnell’s privilege, and I think that’s her point. It doesn’t work for her family, and she’s one of the few people who can pick up her life and move it somewhere, most of us are stuck here.” (Related: Whoopi Goldberg believes that men who oppose women’s sports “know nothing about women’s anatomy”)
