“The View” co-hosts clashed on Wednesday as Alyssa Farah Griffin attempted to fact-check her liberal co-host Sunny Hostin, who claimed that President Donald Trump’s immigration policies targeted migrants who “look a certain way.”
During a discussion on the topic, Hostin said, “I think what’s fascinating to me is that, yes, he ran on immigration, and he ran, really, on the southern border because we know we also border Canada, and that that’s actually the largest border, but they’re not really going into Canada and looking for those Canadian people that are kind of jumping back and forth.”
As Griffin attempted to explain that it wasn’t Canadians who were crossing over the northern border, Hostin said that wasn’t “true,” citing a conversation she had with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, which Griffin argued was a misunderstanding. Hostin then frustratingly asked, “can I finish talking?”
“Can I finish what I was saying so that I don’t lose my thought? The point is, you know, he was all about immigration from the southern border. And those immigrants or those migrants look a certain way. So, it seems to me this was never really just about immigration,” Hostin continued.
Hostin did make another argument towards the end of the discussion, that the U.S. should be focused on educating its own people rather than calling for more people to come here and work.
