NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Sunny Hostin called out Brittany Mahomes for indicating her support for GOP nominee presidential Donald Trump on the Wednesday, September 18 episode of 'The View'.

Hostin and her co-hosts Whoopi Golberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, and Alyssa Farah Griffin were Donald Trump's recent announcement that he hated Taylor Swift when the host shared her views about Mahomes.

Swift had become close friends with Mahomes, who is the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes when she started dating the team's tight-end Travis Kelce.

While there were rumors of a rift between the two since Swift announced her endorsement for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, they have since been spotted together at various events, according to Fox News.



 

Sunny Hostin calls out Brittany Mahomes for supporting Donald Trump

Sunny Hostin argued on the show that Brittany Mahomes should have known better than to support a conservative candidate like Donald Trump as she herself is in an interracial marriage.

"It just seems to me that since she (Mahomes) is in an interracial marriage, she should have known that to support a racist (Trump) is problematic," stated Hostin.

"Her children are biracial and her family is one of the families, that in the ’70s could not have lived in any of Donald Trump’s buildings," she added.

"So, it just seems to me that maybe she’s just not that politically savvy, or maybe she’s just not read in, but it's problematic," she added.

Griffin chimed into the conversation at the point, pointing out that Mahomes had not expressed her support for the former president verbally. But her liking MAGA posts and comments on social media simply indicates that she does.

Netizens, especially conservatives, were furious with 'The View' host and did not agree with her remarks about Brittany Mahomes on X (formerly Twitter).

"Shut the f up sunny. Stop telling people what to do," stated another.



 

"Absolutely outrageous," expressed one person.



 

"She needs mental help. She is part of the problem our country has. Can you imagine a country where the media doesn’t try and create division," commented another.



 

"Who actually watches this trash— no seriously?" asked one individual.



 

"Sunny Hostin’s opinion is meaningless," added another.
