‘Unsafe’: Sunny Hostin eviscerated for attacking the American flag in hate-filled rant

‘The View’ co-host Sunny Hostin has outrageously claimed she feels “unsafe” in neighbourhoods flying the American flag. Hostin’s remarks came during a discussion on the festivities across the country celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. The co-host recalled similar remarks she made in 2021 and how the American flag is equated with “white supremacy”. “I said there are times when I walk into a community, and I see American flags all over the community, and I suddenly feel unsafe because there’s a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag, and they equate being an American or an American flag with White supremacy, and that should never be the symbol of White supremacy, but they have weaponized,” Hostin said.
