“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin called President Donald Trump a “DEI employee” in response to his inauguration on Monday and pointed to his announcement that he would dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)’s statement is a “hypocritical” policy.
“One of the things that I do think about is the hypocrisy of having a man inaugurated as president on the same day that we honor Martin Luther King who says he’s going to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion,” Haws Ting said. “Because Martin Luther King not only wanted racial equality, he wanted economic equality. And that’s what people tend to miss.”
“I like to remind people that he said black Americans should receive reparations for the injustices they faced. He believed reparations were a form of justice, in fact, rather than charity, and he said, quote, ‘To tell a person is You can support yourself by your own strength, but for a man without boots, he should support himself by his own strength,” she continued.
“Given that, and what Donald Trump said about this country being meritocratic, you’re talking about a guy who didn’t become president of the United States because of merit,” Hostin said. He believes he “doesn’t have what it takes.” political experience”. She concluded: “He got everything he had. He was a traditional employee. If anything, he was a DEI employee, an ‘unearned’ employee, so those are just my experiences. Something.

Hostin and co-host Ana Navarro revealed that they did not watch the inauguration on Monday, and both emphasized that it was also Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Hostin began her speech by revealing that she instead traveled to the Buffalo Wild Wings to watch college football games with friends.
Later in the show, Navarro encouraged Democrats to protest Trump every chance they get.
Co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin said she watched and covered the inauguration and came away from it thinking people should do away with the term “Donald Trump normalization,” arguing that Trump has been re-elected “normalization”.
“Whether you like it or not, Donald Trump has normalized and 75 million people voted for him. He is now as much a part of American history as George Bush, Barack Obama and any other two-term president. Part of it,” Griffin said.
She continued, “I’m struck by the image – four years ago he left in disgrace, barely anyone showed up when he announced his re-election two years ago – and now he’s back like a conquering king with the biggest Titan industries, fashion designers, he has Democrats and every former president, I think it’s time to take note of why he won and why he won.
