‘View’ co-hosts fear that campus anti-Israel protests will distract public from January 6, help Trump
NY Post
Tension flared on ABC’s “The View” on Friday as the co-hosts discussed the anti-Israel protests on college campuses nationwide.
The co-hosts clashed with each other on multiple points concerning the demonstrations, the first being that the imagery of the chaos on campus would help former President Trump’s re-election chances, and the second being who the victims are in these protests.
Co-host Sunny Hostin sparked the debate on both topics, showing visible anger at co-host Sarah Haines for bringing up the fact that people may be distracted from the January 6 Capitol riot because of these new chaotic images; and elsewhere causing a stir by saying the student protesters are being victimized by police.
The arguments over the protests began after a discussion of an upcoming Trump donor event where the former president was looking to vet his potential vice presidential nominee.
Despite most of the ladies on the panel mocking Trump’s legal woes and his potential running mate picks, Haines burst the bubble, noting that many are being driven to attend the fundraiser because of the chaos they’re seeing on the news stemming from the campus protests.
“One of the people with this event said donors are flocking to this event due to the horror of nightly images they see on TV,” Haines said, which appeared to frustrate Hostin.
