Sunny Hostin says American flags make her feel unsafe

July 7, 2026 | | Print Article

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin, a black leftist, admitted on Monday that she’s afraid of patriotic neighborhoods that fly the American flag.

“There are times when I walk into a community, and I see American flags all over the community, and I suddenly feel unsafe, because there’s a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag,” she said.

“They equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy, and that should never be the symbol of white supremacy, but they have weaponized it,” she added.

The irony was that the only people who’ve equated the American flag with white supremacy are anti-American, race-obsessed leftists like her.

Earlier in the segment, guest host and actress Michelle Buteau had the nerve to suggest that America isn’t the best nation for everybody here, including multimillionaire stars like her.

“When you say this is the best nation — the best nation for who?” the uber-rich actress asked. “If we are celebrating 250 years — what are we exactly celebrating is what I want to know.”

Their anti-American rants were reportedly inspired by a picture taken over the weekend that showed members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front standing peacefully aboard a D.C. bus alongside a lone black woman.

The propaganda press rushed to portray the woman, a criminal, as some kind of brave, Rosa Parks-like figure, and the white nationalists as evil bogeymen.

Yet evidence shows that the woman, who’s now being mockingly called “Rosa Farts,” was the only possibly dangerous one aboard the D.C. bus.

“That for me was a defining image of modern America for a black American,” Hostin said Monday about the picture from the bus. “Defining. As a black woman, I’m sitting there in my country, and that’s the type of fear I have to experience.”

Critics have been quick to point out that the black woman was allowed to sit peacefully in her seat and was never bothered or touched by the white nationalists.

Critics have also argued that in a reverse scenario, had it been a white woman on a bus full of black supremacists, that white woman would have probably been hurt just like murder victim Iryna Zarutska.

During Monday’s episode of “The View,” Hostin also complained about the Patriot Front members having the American flag on their hats.

“You might as well have a hood on, because that’s what it looks like, that’s what it feels like,” she insisted.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a Republican, responded on social media to Hostin’s rants by labeling them a form of “mental illness.”

Christian influencer Bo Loudon, who’s reportedly close friends with Barron Trump, added in his own social media post that “Democrats hate America.”

Buteau also complained specifically about the picture of the black woman on the bus.

“I’m really glad that picture was taken,” he said. “That picture is how we feel walking into many rooms. That picture is how we feel, and nobody will believe us. So look at that picture and understand how it feels.”
