The View Host Say She Supports Platner Even Though A Racist And Jew Hater

Sure, Sunny Hostin is just one Democrat, but, she perfectly encapsulates what a lot of Democrats think

Sunny Hostin supports Graham Platner despite calling him ‘a liar, a racist, an anti-Semite’

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin called Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner “a liar, a racist, an anti-Semite” on Monday, but still defended supporting his run for office in order for Democrats to win the Senate majority in November’s midterm elections.

Platner has faced a series of controversies in recent weeks, including criticism over a tattoo with links to Nazi imagery, resurfaced Reddit posts in which he made inflammatory comments about veterans, sexual assault and political opponents, and reports about sexually explicit messages exchanged with other women during his marriage.

During a discussion of Platner’s latest scandal, Hostin admitted that she was conflicted due to her belief that the Democrats need to win back Congress.

“So he’s a liar, a racist, an anti-Semite. He’s a homophobe,” she said. “So he has all the things and character does matter. But we have someone that has almost unbridled power in the White House at this point. There are no checks and balances and the only way that we can maybe bring a bit of our democracy back is by having a Congress that functions and that has these checks and balances. And I do think one of the only ways is to win that seat in Maine.”

Got that? Democrats have to support the guy who had a Nazi tattoo for decades and was proud of it because Orange Man Bad and it’s more important to win the Senate. The only belief of Democrats is power at any cost. If Platner came out as anti-abortion they’d still support him because winning the Senate is more important.

In fairness, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sara Haines both said he is essentially unfit for office. But, does anyone think they would vote against him or just not check the box for Senate if they voted in Massachusetts?
