The View co-host Sunny Hostin attacked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene over recent comments she made against Black colleague Rep. Jamaal Bowman, RadarOnline.com has learned.
After a cellphone recording captured a tense exchange between Greene and Bowman on the steps of the Capitol, the Georgia lawmaker said she felt "threatened" by Bowman's physical demeanor — and claimed being called a white supremacist was "equal" to using the n-word against "people of color."
Hostin didn't hold back when she discussed Greene's remarks on Wednesday's episode of the daytime talk show.
Hostin agreed with Bowman when he called for Greene to "save" her party by expelling embattled first-term representative George Santos, who was charged with 13 federal crimes.
"I think Congressman Bowman said what needed to be said, which was this has been happening for decades or perhaps even longer than that centuries, where a white woman says something like, he feels threatening to me, he’s harassing me," Hostin told her co-hosts.
"And that can end in the death of a black man!" Hostin added. "And she knows that."
Hostin blasted the Republican lawmaker for using what she considered a racist "bullhorn" against the New York Democrat.
"So that was a dog whistle," Hostin continued on MTG. "It was a bullhorn, everything that she said."
