This weeks Liberal Media Scream features The View engaging in racial politics and suggesting that minority viewers should stay in their Democratic lane. <\/p>\n
On the show, Sunny Hostin was discussing Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) giving his support to former President Donald Trump. He is one of Trumps potential picks for a running mate. <\/p>\n
Hostin, whose roots are Puerto Rican, accused Donalds of pandering to Trump, though several polls show black voters like the ex-president, especially men, and are moving to the Republican Party after decades of pandering by the Democratic Party. <\/p>\n
She said that such black voters are ultra-rare. These black men that he was speaking with, Id love to see them. It would be like looking at unicorns, Hostin said on Fridays show. <\/p>\n
From Fridays The View, a show produced by ABC: <\/p>\n
JOY BEHAR: Florida congressman Byron Donalds hit a new low when he told a room full of black Republicans that he misses the quote, unquote, good old days. Watch. <\/p>\n
BYRON DONALDS, on June 4: During Jim Crow, the black family was together. During Jim Crow, more black people were not just conservative black people have always been conservative-minded but more black people voted conservatively. And then, H.E.W., Lyndon Johnson, and then you go down that road, and now we are where we are. <\/p>\n
. <\/p>\n
SARA HAINES: Whats scary is when you hear the audio, there are a lot of people going, uh-huh, uh-huh. So it feels like a class needs to be taught to everyone in that room because segregation left you with no choice. Like, you werent picking the family. They were literally making you go to different places. They didnt allow for so, talking about a black person choosing to be with your family and then looking at the greater social scheme and the injustice of that, he must not know what it is? I mean, that seems like a far leap not to understand Jim Crow, segregation, and the separation of the race. I dont understand. <\/p>\n
ANA NAVARRO: If he doesnt know, shame on him, because there is nothing worse, I think, than when people achieve certain status and certain rights and dont appreciate, take for granted, the struggles, the deaths, the fights, the marches, everything it took to be able to give Byron Donalds the opportunity he has now because, under Jim Crow, he couldnt vote. He wouldnt have been in Congress. He couldnt have married his wife. Hes married to a lovely woman named Erika, whos white. Interracial marriage was illegal in Florida until 1969. He could have not gone to Florida State University for over 100 years, black students were not admitted to that university. Over 250 blacks were lynched in Florida under Jim Crow. <\/p>\n
For him to be waxing nostalgic about that era that elicits so much pain that was such a dark period in the history of the United States is offensive. And for him to be doing it as a black man, as a person of color, is even more offensive. What really drives me crazy, though, is that its, like, every three months, a Republican says something more stupid about black history and slavery, right? I mean, last year, we had Ron DeSantis saying defending that there were good things about slavery, skills that were learned that could be put to good use. Then we had Nikki Haley, who couldnt admit that slavery was the cause for the Civil War. <\/p>\n
JOY BEHAR: So, my question to you, Sunny: Is it stupidity, like shesays, or is it something else? <\/p>\n
HAINES: I think its pandering. I dont think its stupidity. <\/p>\n
BEHAR: To whom? <\/p>\n

HOSTIN: Its pandering to Donald Trump. I thought it was interesting that the framing was a room of black Republicans. Where are they? Where are they? Because if you look at the stats, 77% of 81%, Im sorry, of black men are part of the Democratic Party. Black voters consistently align with the Democratic Party.Ninety, over 95% of black women are part of the Democratic Party. So these black men that he was speaking with, Id love to see them. It would be like looking at unicorns. <\/p>\n
And so, I think that the sad thing is, you know, I agree with you, Ana, is that this came from the mouth of a black man, right? And so, if youre pandering yourself and your community and your history to a man like Donald Trump, who is a disgraced, one-term, twice impeached, convicted felon, we get to say now, is even more despicable in this country. <\/p>\n
Brent Baker, the vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explains our weekly pick: What a disgusting display of left-wing elitism. To think that, in the name of calling out racism, you think its your place as white people to lecture a black man about his views of the status of the black family and how it has fared over the decades. Liberals just cant allow anyone to deviate from the approved liberal perspective and, if they do, they must be shamed and corrected so they get in line. <\/p>\n
