Speak present host Sunny Hostin of ABC's The View was slammed on-line after saying Friday that "Black Republicans" have been an "oxymoron."

Throughout one of many present's segments, Hostin, together with co-host Ana Navarro and visitor co-host Lindsey Granger, mentioned Karine Jean-Pierre and her relationship with CNN journalist Suzanne Malveaux. Jean-Pierre was lately appointed as the brand new White Home press secretary.

The hosts debated whether or not or not Jean-Pierre and Malveaux's relationship could also be a battle of curiosity given their roles, however the debate shifted to a dialogue of Fox Information host Sean Hannity, who spoke continuously with former President Donald Trump when he resided within the White Home.

"I do know this can be a novel concept for anyone who's a supporter of Trump," Navarro started when Granger shortly stepped in.

"Have I ever mentioned I used to be a supporter of Trump?" Granger requested. "There are a lot of issues that I do not stand by that Trump did. Trump has accomplished issues which might be racist. I am a Black lady first, so all the time perceive that."

Granger then mentioned that she does have some conservative values when Hostin commented, "I really feel like that is an oxymoron, a Black Republican."

"You're feeling like that is an oxymoron? Why? Your pal proper here's a Republican," Granger mentioned, pointing to Navarro.

Hostin responded: "I do not perceive both of you. I do not perceive Black Republicans and I do not perceive Latino Republicans."

Newsweek reached out to a consultant for ABC Community for extra remark.

The web shortly responded to Hostin's feedback, slamming her for the assertion.

Twitter consumer Jennifer-Ruth Inexperienced, who's operating for Congress in Indiana's 1st Congressional District, tweeted: "Hello, @sunny. I am Black and a proud Republican. I used to be raised to like America and worth the rules of religion, household, private accountability, and repair to nation. I simply wished to introduce myself."

The Hodgetwins, conservative comic brothers Keith and Kevin Hodge, tweeted: "Sunny Hostin trending for all of the fallacious causes. Black & Brown individuals are not allowed to be Republican? What a racist factor to suggest, what a idiot!"

Political commentator Dave Rubin tweeted that he would donate $10,000 to a charity if Hostin have been to debate Candace Owens on The View. "Anybody else keen to toss in some money?" he requested.
