The View’s racism was on full display during the Thursday edition of the unfortunately popular ABC News program. Staunchly racist Sunny Hostin bitterly lashed out at the white South Africans fleeing persecution and parroted the South African president’s denials. And while they denounced America as a racist and sexist country, moderator Whoopi Goldberg defended her and Hostin’s racism. Hostin kicked off her racist ranting by whining that they had yet to mention President Trump taking in those South African refugees, getting tired groans from the liberal audience fed up with him. Without going over the evidence, Hostin parroted the denials from President Cyril Ramaphosa: And I think something we're not talking about is – enough about is what Donald Trump did on Monday is the Trump administration allowed in 59 white South African refugees into this country, claiming that they were fleeing racial discrimination and land appropriation. So, the South African president has been actively, you know, denying at and denying that persecution. He says, ‘a refugee is someone who has to leave their country out of fear of political persecution, religious persecution, or economic persecution, they don't fit that bill.’ “So what do you think is the bottom line, Sunny?” co-host Joy Behar asked, attempting to tee her up to blame the refugees’ race. “Well,” she began before cutting herself off, to the laughter of the audience because they knew where she would go with it. Responding to co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin who lamented the Trump administration’s rescindment of refugee status from Afghans brought in after the U.S. withdrawal, Hostin sneered: “And yet, we are welcoming white South Afrikaners!”     Hostin was relieved when Behar went there with race on her behalf: BEHAR: They're not white people. That's why they don't want them here. It’s obvious to me. HOSTIN: She said it, I didn't! Later in the show, co-host Sara Haines drew condemnation of America from Hostin and moderator Whoopi Goldberg, after she said she didn’t vote solely based on race, sex, and other non-policy factors: HAINES: Oh. But, no, but the thing is I don't look at people first by the woman, a black man, a gay person, a this, I look at the best candidate and then they happen to have all these other things they bring to it. HOSTIN: You may be a little different from most of the country. GOLDBERG: Yeah, for most. “I would say we got to stop telling the America public what they're ready for,” Haines defended America. “We lost twice when women ran!” shouted Behar. “And the bottom is this county is a misogynistic country,” Hostin later shouted too. Haines dared to question if there were other reasons Democrats like Secretary Hillary Clinton and Vice president Kamala Harris didn’t win. “Is there no distinguishing factors to each woman and why they might have lost? Is there no nuance?” she chided.   Whoopi defends her and Hostin's racism: "It's very important that when we're talking that you all understand why we talk from a color place because that's how we're judged, that's how we're seen. And so, it's very important for people to understand that." pic.twitter.com/JcQ5OqQzF5 — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) May 15, 2025   Goldberg would chime in to literally defend her and Hostin’s racism: GOLDBERG: I just want to point something out. You know, it's very important that when we're talking that you all understand why we talk from a color place because that's how we're judged. That's how we're seen. HOSITN: Yeah. GOLDBERG: And so it's very important for people to understand that. DISCLOSURE: The Founder and President of the Media Research Center, L.

Click "expand" to read: ABC’s The View May 15, 2025 11:07:02 a.m. Eastern (…) SUNNY HOSTIN: And I think something we're not talking about is – enough about is what Donald Trump did on Monday is the Trump administration allowed in 59 white South African refugees – [Audience groans] -into this country, claiming that they were fleeing racial discrimination and land appropriation. So the South African president has been actively, you know, denying at and denying that persecution. He says, ‘a refugee is someone who has to leave their country out of fear of political persecution, religious persecution, or economic persecution, they don't fit that bill.’ And so, the fact that Afghan refugees, people who helped us during the Afghanistan war, helped us and protected our troops, that program has been dismissed. The fact that Haitians that are truly refugees, they have been denied protective status! JOY BEHAR: So what do you think is the bottom line, Sunny? HOSTIN: Well – [Cuts herself off] [Laughter] ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: No, but for all the attacks at the Trump administration – at the time campaign made on the Biden administration over what I agree was a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. We're once again betraying the Afghan people - HOSTIN: Yes, we are. FARAH GRIFFIN: - by saying if you're here under SIV and have a right as a refugee, you fought alongside us, we're sending you back to Hell, to daily beating, a lack of basic freedoms. [Crosstalk] HOSTIN: And yet, we are welcoming white South Afrikaners. BEHAR: They’re not white [inaudible] that’s the truth. FARAH GRIFFIN: Double betrayal! SARA HAINES: Picking beefs with allies. It tracks with everything else. HOSTIN: What was that, Joy? BEHAR: They're not white people. That's why they don't want them here. It’s obvious to me. HOSTIN: She said it, I didn't! [Applause] (…) 11:16:33 a.m. Eastern HAINES: I'm Governor Wes Moore all the way. BEHAR: Wes Moore is very good idea. HAINES: And if you don't know who he is, you should learn because to me he's the most qualified amazing candidate I've seen in my lifetime! He will be president! BEHAR: So you agree with Crockett then? HAINES: He's black. BEHAR: That you can't have a woman. HOSTIN: You can’t have a woman. HAINES: Oh. But, no, but the thing is I don't look at people first by the woman, a black man, a gay person, a this, I look at the best candidate and then they happen to have all these other things they bring to it. HOSTIN: You may be a little different from most of the country. WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Yeah, for most. [Laughter] HAINES: I don’t know. I would say we got to stop telling the America public what they're ready for. FARAH GRIFFIN: We’ll elected a black man before. BEHAR: We lost twice when women ran! I mean – HAINES: Is there no distinguishing factors to each woman and why they might have lost? Is there no nuance? HOSTIN: Hillary Clinton was one of the most qualified candidates in presidential – [Applause] HAINES: She carried a lot of Clinton baggage. FARAH GRIFFIN: She was polarizing. BEHAR: She lost to a failed game show host! Okay?! HOSTIN: Yes, she was more qualified. HAINES: I loved her. I voted for her, but the number one thing I heard about from people who didn't like her there was a mystery about the Clinton baggage they took. ‘I just don't trust her.’ HOSTIN: They weaponize her husband against Hillary Clinton. And the bottom is this county is a misogynistic country and this country is a country that out of all the first world countries hasn't been able to elect a female president! That's just factual! FARAH GRIFFIN: Okay. Listen, sexism, racism, absolutely exist. It absolutely is a factor in elections. It is not the determinative factor in the 2024 election, and I disagreed strongly with President Biden when he basically blamed that on why Kamala Harris lost. She outperformed Joe Biden when he was in the race. The numbers went up. The fundraising went up. She had a short window to run and I think all the data that we have when you see why she lost the battleground states; it is not because a bunch of racist Democrats didn't turn out for her. That’s not why. [Crosstalk] WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I just want to point something out. You know, it's very important that when we're talking that you all understand why we talk from a color place because that's how we're judged. That's how we're seen. HOSITN: Yeah. GOLDBERG: And so it's very important for people to understand that. And, listen, you're all smart people. You're all smart people. Know, you can't -- you cannot ask people to run and I they're running because they want to make sure gay and straight people have the same rights, that women have the same rights as a man in this country. These can't be weaponized as wokism. These -- you can't say, you know, well, you -- not you, but you can't say, ‘oh, you lost because you're woke.’ (…)

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Between high-profile hearings featuring members of President Donald Trump's Cabinet and the House Energy and Commerce Committee's reconciliation markup lasting over 26 hours, it was another busy Wednesday on Capitol Hill as Republicans face criticism that they have not acted quickly enough to make Trump's executive orders permanent.In the basement of the Capitol building, the Republican Study Committee hosted border czar Tom Homan and Education Secretary Linda McMahon to hear what they need from GOP members in order to fulfill Trump's campaign promises. Talking to the RSC was important for these two Trump officials because it is the largest House GOP caucus, boasting 189 members.'I met with the Republican Study Committee and thanked them for their strong support of this administration’s efforts to take our country back.'A source familiar with the Wednesday meeting said Homan emphasized the importance of ensuring federal immigration agencies are properly funded in order to combat the invasion of illegal aliens who were allowed to freely enter this country under the Biden-Harris administration. While illegal alien apprehension and deportation numbers are higher now than they were under the previous administration, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are operating under Biden-era budgets and atrophy."Americans should be worried about [Trump's agenda]. Executive orders are nice, but legislation, writing it into statute, that is what our Founders intended ... to right the ship from the last four years," RSC Chairman Rep. August Pfluger (Texas) said in response to frustration from GOP voters. "We're taking it seriously. My organization of 189 members wants to see it, pass it into law."Pfluger said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wants it to be done by the book, meaning it has to go through the full committee-to-floor process. "It's not fast," Pfluger admitted. "This is not a fast process, unfortunately. It does take some time. But we are going to keep pushing on them to make sure we do see movement.""We hear you," Pfluger said, addressing GOP voters. "The [RSC] has taken action. We have highlighted multiple bills that would put into effect, codify what the executive orders are that President Trump has moved with. ... We want to move swiftly. We want to move aggressively. The system needs to play out, but we're urging the leadership ... to move these bills through."Homan gave his seal of approval to the RSC working through that process to capitalize on Trump's successes. "We are ramping deportations every day while restoring law and order in our communities. These achievements would not be possible without the strong leadership of President Trump and the brave men and women of Border Patrol and ICE. I met with the Republican Study Committee and thanked them for their strong support of this administration’s efforts to take our country back — neither they, the president, nor I will rest until the threats against American communities and citizens are eradicated," Homan told Blaze Media.Like Blaze News?

While President Donald Trump greenlit a flurry of executive orders in the first 100 days of his second term, Congress has been struggling to keep up. In the first few months of his presidency, only five bills from Congress have made it to Trump's desk and been signed into law. Meanwhile, Louisiana Republican Speaker Mike Johnson's "big, beautiful bill" has been the focal point of Capitol Hill drama with promises to codify the MAGA mandate Trump was overwhelmingly elected for. Although the mandate is reflected in certain provisions in the bill, Vice President JD Vance himself said that Congress needs to do more to codify DOGE cuts and rein in spending. 'We're going to have to do it and get serious about it.'.@VP Vance assures me major spending cuts are coming in the FINAL “Big, Beautiful Bill”:“We’ve already had conversations with House leadership that we want to see some more significant efforts to rein in spending.”“When I talk to @elonmusk and I talk to the DOGE folks, where… pic.twitter.com/CyyJRt1zZ4— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) May 15, 2025 "I will say the big, beautiful bill text just came out last week," Vance told Glenn Beck on "The Glenn Beck Program" Thursday. "That's going to change a lot from now until then. We've already had conversations with House leadership that we want to see some more significant efforts to rein in spending here.""The president also believes, Glenn, and he's right about that, that if you cut the trade deficit or you raise revenue through tariffs, that you actually go a long way to making the country on a more sustainable fiscal pathway as well," Vance added. "But you're right. You can't do it without cutting domestic spending." Up until this point, the United States has racked up over $36 trillion in national debt. Despite the desire from certain Republicans to actually control spending, Johnson's bill is expected to add roughly $3.3 trillion to the deficit through fiscal year 2034. "We're going to have to do it and get serious about it," Vance told Beck. "We're making that as clear to congressional leaders as possible. But look, knock on wood here, I think that once we get the final package out of the House and the Senate, we're going to have something that's serious on budget-cutting." RELATED: Exclusive: Why Chip Roy can't support the 'big, beautiful bill': 'The swamp does what the swamp does' Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty ImagesVance noted that one of the easiest ways to chip away at the nation's mounting debt is to begin by eliminating mismanaged spending and fraudulent benefits."What no one talks enough about, and when I talk to Elon, and I talk to the DOGE folks, where they think they're going to get the most cuts is in taking people, illegal aliens and other people, who are defrauding the Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security system," Vance added. "Think about two people, right? A guy who's paid into Social Security for 40 years. Obviously we want that guy to get his Social Security benefits," Vance told Beck. "You compare that person to an illegal alien who's engaged in Medicaid fraud. Obviously we don't want that person to get their benefits."RELATED: Big, beautiful bill advances after 18-hour markup marathon while SALT talks go south Photo by Kayla Bartkowski/Getty ImagesMedicaid reform has been a hot-button issue as reconciliation talks escalate. In its current state, the bill amended work requirements so that ineligible recipients would have a harder time defrauding the Medicaid system, protecting vulnerable people the service was intended for. Although this is a step in the right direction, some Republicans say it doesn't go far enough and have pointed out that the changes won't be enforced until 2029, after Trump has left office. "I think Democrats are going to fight us on this, but this is such an important point," Vance added. "We cannot allow people to defraud the Medicare and Medicaid system, or it's going to bankrupt this country. It's also just fundamentally unfair." Like Blaze News?

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tried to claw her way into the debate over a gift of a luxury plane to President Donald Trump and was hilariously rebuked by online detractors. The ruling family of Qatar reportedly considered gifting a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to the Defense Department, which would use it for the president's travel until his term ended, and then it would be gifted to the future Trump presidential library. Critics pounced on the report to accuse Trump of improperly accepting a bribe from the oil gulf state. 'This account says so many unintentionally hilarious things, I have to wonder if it’s run by people who actually hate her.' On Wednesday, Clinton tried to join the chorus of critics but was instantly reminded that the Clinton family had accepted many similar "gifts" from foreign entities. "No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious," Clinton wrote on the X platform. While even some Republicans have expressed their unease with the gift, many online accused Clinton of hypocrisy in her tweet, which had response comments turned off. "The Clinton Foundation is the Gold Platinum & Diamond standard for buying and selling influence. Just Shoosh," responded author Jim Hanson. "Reminder, the Clinton Foundation received more than $40 million from four Arab states including Qatar," replied writer Ryan James Girdusky. "The Clinton Foundation would like a word, Ms. Clinton," said Pradheep Shanker of National Review. "This account says so many unintentionally hilarious things, I have to wonder if it’s run by people who actually hate her," read another reply. "Honestly it's one of the funniest things in the world that this demon who wanted so badly to be president, who was gifted First Lady, Senate, and Secretary of State, is reduced to petty snipes on Twitter for the last few years of her life," read another popular response. Related: Trump rips into reporter for implying Qatar gift is a bribe: 'You should be embarrassed asking that question!' BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) issued his objection to the jumbo jet gift. “Nothing says ‘America First’ like Air Force One, brought to you by Qatar,” he wrote. “It’s not just bribery, it’s premium foreign influence with extra legroom.”Like Blaze News?
