‘The View’ Co-Host Sunny Hostin Says American Flags Make Her Feel ‘Unsafe’

Sunny Hostin on ABC’s ‘The View.’

The View co-host Sunny Hostin has complained that seeing American flags in her community makes her feel “unsafe.”

During Monday’s episode of the flagship ABC political talk show, Hostin weighed in on the July 4th march by the white nationalist group Patriot Front.

Hostin ranted:

You know, I think unfortunately in this country, people have different lived experiences. So while some may have a lived experience like this, it is the best country in the world. And while there’s some stuff that goes on, you know, other things are OK. That, for me, was a defining image of modern America for black Americans, defining.

Patriot Front is a white nationalist organization founded in 2017 after the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. You know what, they promote an ultra nationalist ideology that focuses on creating a white ethno-state in the United States with the ultimate goal of reshaping American society to align with their vision of racial and cultural homogeneity.

As a black woman, I’m sitting there in my country, and that’s the type of fear I have to experience.

When I walk into a community and I see American flags all over the community and I suddenly feel unsafe because there is a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag and they equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy. And that should never be ever the symbol of white supremacy.

Her comments came after Interior Secretary Doug Burgum defended the right of groups like Patriot Front to hold marches and exercise their constitutional right to freedom of speech.

“Certainly, what they stand for is nothing that I could possibly agree with,” Burgum said in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash.

”But one of the foundational principles of the United States which makes democracy messy is free speech.”

“And there are plenty of things that I see that I might personally find offensive, irreprehensible. But in America, free speech is allowed.”
