Sunny Hostin says white women continue to support Trump to ‘protect this patriarchy’

Sunny Hostin, the notoriously awake host of The View, claimed Tuesday that white women who continue to support Donald Trump for president want to “protect the patriarchy.”

She even seemed to compare them to those who stood by their slave-owning husbands during a review of a recent Washington Post article about Pennsylvania female voters who said they would still vote for the former president even after he stepped down . found liable for battery and libel.

“I think women, especially white women, want to protect this patriarchy here because it’s to their advantage,” the controversial co-host said.

“They want to make sure their man is doing well. They want to make sure their sons do well. They want to make sure their children are doing well. They want to make sure they’re doing it right,” Hostin explains.

She added that “most of the women in some of these studies are married, white women” who are “in line with what their husbands do, how their husbands vote.”

When questioned by her co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, she acknowledged that Democratic women who supported Bill Clinton and Andrew Cuomo voted for their policies — but claimed that Republican women vote for a party “that deprives your health of the right to decide for yourself.” ‘. ‘

Her fellow co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, then asked her about Democratic women who supported Bill Clinton and ousted New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

“They think the policies, let’s say Clinton, are in line with their policies,” Hostin said.

But with “white female Republicans, you have a Republican Party that deprives your health of the right to make your own decisions.”

However, Griffin argued that all women vote based on a candidate’s policies.

She said that “sometimes money comes first” while saying that part of her family shares the feelings expressed in the Washington Post articlein which some women said they valued the economy more than Trump’s sexual assault allegations.

One woman, Arlene Pasternak, even told the Post that she thinks Trump is “an absolute idiot.”

“I hate him as a person. Frankly, yes,” Pasternak said. “But I’m more concerned about the economy and you can barely afford to live right now.”

She added that she has a college degree but is still struggling.

Other co-hosts seemed to agree that white women who continue to support Trump will vote for him despite his sexual assault allegations

The co-hosts discussed a recent Washington Post article about female voters in Pennsylvania saying they will still vote for the former president even after he is found guilty of defamation.

Joy Behar, the awakened co-host of The View, even said she seemed to understand the argument that women are not discouraged by Trump’s sexual assault allegations, noting that she voted for Bill Clinton twice.

“I knew he was, you know, a dog. But I loved him anyway, so I sort of get it,” she said. “They feel like Trump is a dog, they vote for him.”

And co-host Sara Haines noted that people have different views, whether white women or black men.

“There are 240 million voters in this country,” she said. “I think we’ve heard people at this table admitting they only want a pro-life Supreme Court justice… I don’t think groups are monolithic.

“I don’t think every woman, every black, every Hispanic, you know, call every group votes the same thing,” she countered.

“I think we are a complicated country with many differences, that’s what makes this country really magical.”

Haines added that she wouldn’t “project” what keeps her up at night onto someone else.

But this isn’t the first time Hostin has generalized about how white women vote.

Discussing the abortion issue ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, she likened white women who vote for Republicans to “cockroaches who vote for a raid.”

“I read in a poll that suburban white women are now going to vote to vote Republican. It’s almost like cockroaches voting for Raid,” she said at the time.

“They are voting against their own self-interest. Do they want to live in Gilead? Do they want to live in The Handmaid’s Tale?’
