Weeks after Brittany Mahomes addressed the backlash she was getting over her supposed support of former President Donald Trump, “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin reignited the frenzy.
Calling the wife of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes “problematic,” Hostin delivered a shocking rant against the former soccer star and her interracial marriage and biracial children.
Hostin was not alone on the set with her hate-mongering rebuke of Mahomes as the other lefties of “The View” chimed in.
“Well, you know, he’s politically activating her army of Swifties, and there are also rumors that her best friend Brittany Mahomes, who was hit with backlash a while back for ‘liking’ a pro-MAGA post; she’s now rethinking her alleged support,” Whoopi Goldberg recounted.
“Yeah. And we’ve been really good about it. Okay. Because some could say, you know, this — because he’s mad at your best friend, now you’re mad? It didn’t bother you that he was being a racist and being a misogynist and — that didn’t get you going?” she continued. “But we’re not going to bring that up.”

“And that does make me hopeful, actually that the Swift effect will speak to more women about the true character of Donald Trump and will turn them away. But to your initial point, I know you said we weren’t going to talk about it, but I was,” Hostin said a few minutes later.
“It just seems to me that since she is in an interracial marriage, she should have known that to support a racist is problematic,” she added.
“Her children are biracial and her family is one of the families that in the ’70s could not have lived in any of Donald Trump’s buildings, so it just seems to me that maybe she’s just not that politically savvy, or maybe she’s just not read in, but it’s problematic,” Hostin reiterated.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, the show’s token “conservative” put in a weak effort to defend Mahomes.
“Well, granted, all we know is that she liked a Trump post. We don’t know she — she hasn’t stated that she supported him but that’s fair to interpret that she may have. But we don’t know that she’s a supporter,” she said.
“Yeah, okay,” Goldberg responded. “Like, you know, I’ll take all of that. But I’m just saying, you know, pick your — pick your champions, babe.”
Mahomes, a 28-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, recently let it be known that she “doesn’t give a f***” what critics think.
Last month amid the uproar over her stance on Trump, the pregnant mother of two dismissed the criticism and credited her husband with helping her block out the negativity.
“I think social media used to get to me a lot. Now, it’s just like, honestly, I don’t give a f*** what people have to say about me anymore. And I think he has helped me get to that point,” she said on the WHOOP podcast.
“I am strong in who I am. I am confident in who I am. I am confident in mine and his relationship and I am confident in our lives. So why does what other people say have to matter at all?” she added.
Social media users expressed their disgust of “The View” and Hostin in particular for her incendiary remarks.
“This woman just said some pretty unthinkable stuff. Brittany Mahomes and her husband should DEMAND a retraction and apology,” journalist Trish Regan wrote on X.
What a NASTY woman

Someone has to be a dark angry soul to want to listen to a full hour of hate from these children of Satan. Plain evil.

This coming from the biggest racist on TV (tied with Joy Reid).

Unthinkable, and outrageous lies. I grew up in NYC in the 70s and watched a lot of Trump’s buildings go up. There wasn’t a single property of his that would not have allowed people of color. Just laughably ignorant and false. She’s living in LaLa Land!

I’m not sure how Sunny Hostin is able to pass through a doorway with the incredibly large boulder she carries on her shoulders each and every day.
