Sunny Hostin Blows Up Over Democrats Who Didn’t March Out With Rep. Green

Sunny Hostin complained on Wednesday that Democrats had failed to stand with Rep. Al Green (D-TX) and march out with him when he was ejected from President Donald Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress.

Hostin made the point during Wednesday’s broadcast of “The View” on ABC shortly after boasting that she hadn’t even watched the president’s remarks in an effort to deny him the ratings.

“While I didn’t watch it, I was looking for signs of an opposition party, which is what the Democratic Party must be at this point,” Hostin declared. “Not a resistance, because resistance is passive. Opposition is active, and I think that we — what I saw when Representative Al Green stood up and said, ‘You don’t have a mandate to take away Medicaid,’ and he was tossed out, I expected the rest of his Democratic caucus, the rest of his colleagues, to walk out with him! Because alone you can survive but together you thrive.”

“That is the energy that we need, they should have stood with him in solidarity,” Hostin complained. “What I want to say to the Democrats is you can’t play by the rules with a party that has thrown away the rulebook! You cannot do it!”

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin commented next, arguing that while the rebuttal delivered by Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) was “masterful,” the Democrats’ “antics on the floor were not helpful.”

“I don’t think that waving a cane is the optics that the Democrats want in this moment,” Griffin continued. “I don’t think holding up signs that are now just being mocked on the internet — who was advising these people?”

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg interrupted then to shut down any criticism of the Democrats.

“Here’s what didn’t happen: the last time someone did that, she was engaged by the president,” Goldberg said, referencing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her call for then-President Joe Biden to say aloud the name of murdered Georgia college student Laken Riley.

“See, all of this snowflake behavior of the Republicans, you know, you can’t take it. You can dish it out but you can’t take it,” Goldberg continued, talking over Griffin’s every effort to continue with her point.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
