The View’ co-host Sunny Hostin took aim at former First Lady Melania Trump in a bizarre and unhinged attack on Thursday.
On the show, Hostin claimed that Melania “hates” her husband, former President Donald Trump, and even went as far as to say that she “wants to take him out,” adding fuel to an already politically divisive climate.
The segment began with Hostin stating, “I think she hates him,” to which fellow co-host Joy Behar quickly agreed. Hostin didn’t stop there, making bold claims about Melania’s personal feelings and actions, stating, “I also think that she wants to take him out. She does not want to be the first lady anymore.”
The rant spiraled further when Hostin said Melania “hates Christmas” and doesn’t even want to sleep in the same room as her husband.
WATCH:
For many, the attack on Melania reflects a larger trend within the Democratic Party. What’s troubling is that Melania, who has largely stayed out of the political spotlight since leaving the White House, continues to be the subject of baseless attacks.
In a Wednesday interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Melania discussed the current state of her husband’s White House bid and reflected on the recent assassination attempts against him. “I would think that the world, especially the United States, is more divided than ever before,” said Melania. “We are dealing with much more danger, and especially we see what’s going on in the world and the threats that we get, and my husband, what he went through in the last few months.
