‘The View’ Host Dredges Up Weeks-Old Brittany Mahomes Drama To Call Her A Racist

“The View” host Sunny Hostin lashed out at Brittany Mahomes — wife of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes — suggesting that because she once “liked” a Trump post on Instagram, she didn’t really understand the implications of her own interracial marriage.

Hostin made the comments during Wednesday’s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show, where despite acknowledging that no one else on the panel had planned to bring the Mahomes’ marriage into the discussion, she plowed ahead with it anyway.

WATCH:

Hostin began by saying that it had given her hope to see an uptick in voter registrations after pop star Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), saying that she wanted to see “the Swift effect” help to drive more people away from supporting former President Donald Trump.

She then segued to Mahomes, adding, “To your initial point, I know you said we weren’t going to talk about it, but I was. It just seems to me that since she is in an interracial marriage, she should have known that to support a racist is problematic.”

“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,” Hostin continued, suggesting that either Mahomes was ignorant or she hadn’t yet had the “problematic” nature of her position explained to her. “So it just seems to me that maybe she’s just not that politically savvy or maybe she’s just not read in…”

By claiming that it was “problematic” for Mahomes to like a Trump post — the post in question simply listing a number of his 2024 policy priorities — Hostin appeared to assume that her politics must necessarily be in opposition to her husband’s. However, Patrick Mahomes has repeatedly stated his desire to stay out of politics altogether.

“I think I’ve always said I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever either way,” he said, according to a Newsweek report. “I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, is to inform people to do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family.”

“Whenever I’m hanging out with whoever, I’m not thinking about their political views. I’m thinking about the people and how they treat other people,” he added.

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.
