The twisted mantra: “Vote Blue no matter who” is alive and well on ABC’s “The View.”
The show’s hosts erupted in a spat after co-host Sunny Hostin made the case for Maine to vote for embattled Democrat Graham Platner, who’s running to unseat Republican Susan Collins in the U.S. Senate.
Platner has become known well-beyond Maine’s borders for widespread and credible allegations and evidence against him for racism, anti-Semitism, public sexual deviancy, bigotry, sexism… You get the point.
But, for Hostin, the embattled Dem is worth her vote if it’ll thwart President Trump (who she believes is all those things).
“Yesterday, I was sort of on the fence,” Hostin said. “I’m like, ‘Character matters, morals matter. I can’t believe that this is the person in Maine to take on Susan Collins.’ I’m now convinced that we are really in a bad place in this country. Democrats have to take over the Senate. They have to take over the House. They have to bring some semblance of normalcy back to this government.”
“If I lived in Maine, I would hold my nose, and I would pull that lever and vote for him,” she concluded. “That’s it.”

Hostin’s declaration prompted a rebuke from co-host Sara Haines, who “vehemently and strongly” disagreed.
“We have too many crappy people with no character, no integrity in D.C., and if we are going to say ‘Donald Trump is a problem. Look at this person, look at this person, look who he surrounds himself with’ — we can’t plug our nose and send someone there that’s an antisemitic person, racist, bigoted, sexist, you name it,” Haines shot back.
“His marriage is the least of my problems,” she added. “In fact, that reminds me of just a church-going regular person. It’s everything else that is problematic to me that I would never be able to endorse. This is where it becomes so partisan, because it’s all about what jersey are you wearing?”
This wasn’t Hostin’s only call to vote for Platner. On Monday, she argued the same thing after calling him a proven “cheater, an antisemite, a liar, a racist, and a homophobe.”
The surreal clip was dissected by The Blaze’s Glenn Beck:
Did you hear what The View’s Sunny Hostin just said? She called Maine’s Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner “a cheater, an antisemite, a liar, a racist, and a homophobe.”
Then she paused and said something very telling: “BUT…” the Democrats need “to win that seat in… pic.twitter.com/B94V88qOKV

Beck pointed out in his post:
“This once again proves that the Left has no moral code and will do anything to seize back power…
“The Left is willing to trade exactly what they’ve been claiming to fight just to regain a little bit of power. All the harping about racism, sexism, and homophobia means nothing if they’ll compromise their beliefs for ‘the collective good.'”
