Sunny Hostin continued her post-election streak of being essentially the most pessimistic individual on the panel on Tuesday’s (November 12) version of The View. This time, the primary “Scorching Matter” of debate was the rising listing of cupboard appointment picks by Donald Trump for his subsequent administration, together with Marco Rubio as secretary of state, Kristi Noem as secretary of homeland safety, Mike Waltz as nationwide safety advisor, and Lee Zeldin as EPA administrator.
“Watch your canines,” Whoopi Goldberg joked about Noem’s appointment to the place — a reference to the current scandal surrounding the South Dakota governor’s written admission to taking pictures her pet for misbehaving.
Ana Navarro, in the meantime, was supportive of the Rubio decide, saying, “I’ve identified Marco Rubio for a really very long time. He and I grew up in Republican politics in Miami collectively. Haven’t spoken to him in a number of years. He’s modified loads. He in all probability thinks I’ve, too however I’ll say this: Marco is certified.” She went on to tout his overseas coverage stances — notably as they relate to Latin American international locations — and stated, “I’m shocked by the appointment as a result of he and I agree on overseas coverage, and I feel he’s thought-about a overseas coverage hawk and type of like a neocon, which is seemed down upon by the MAGA of us.” Navarro added that whereas she was in favor of the choice, she was additionally shocked Rubio took it contemplating the extent of turnover the earlier administration had with cupboard members; “You’re giving up your Senate seat to go work for Donald Trump, who might get up any day of the week and hearth you is excessive threat, excessive reward.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin then supplied that whereas she was displeased by the election of Trump, she is rooting for the administration to rent the most effective folks. “And I truly assume, as an old-fashioned Republican, the selection of each Marco Rubio for secretary of state and in addition Congressman Mike Waltz as nationwide safety advisor, you might be listening to a sigh of reduction from America’s allies overseas. These are two people who find themselves certified… These are individuals who know who America’s enemies are, Russia, China, and Iran, they usually know who our allies are. And I feel they’re good selections.”
She then went on to deal with the topic of dialog on Monday’s present — which was the choice of Tom Homan as border czar — and recommended that his document signifies he wouldn’t goal immigrants who’ve been settled within the U.S. for many years. “I additionally assume for folk who’re feeling nervous and anxious about what this deportation effort would possibly appear like, it’s there are over 10 million undocumented migrants on this nation. That may be a large elevate. Even [Barack] Obama, on the top, solely deported about 3 million folks. I feel that it truly could also be individuals who ought to be prioritized and look way more just like Obama’s deportation than a few of the inflammatory rhetoric that you simply’re listening to from Donald right here.”
Hostin had a unique thought course of on the matter totally, pointing to the choice of Stephen Miller as deputy chief of workers and saying, “On election day final week, Stephen Miller wrote on X, ‘Get the hell to the polls and vote to finish the invasion.’ He referred to as folks coming right here to this nation to flee poverty and to flee crime and persecution ‘an invasion.’ He additionally stated
Illegals are raping and murdering American kids. All the boys of America want to satisfy their responsibility, get to the voting sales space, and finish the invasion as soon as and for all.’ And so whilst you could folks could have some consolation that Marco Rubio goes to be there and Homan goes to be there… I’m type of fearful concerning the Stephen Millers of the world.”
Sara Haines then supplied her level of positivity by saying, “I believed each appointment was going to be a Stephen Miller, and so I used to be dreading, like, ‘What’s Laura Loomer operating?’ ‘What’s RFK operating?’”
“She’ll be operating one thing quickly,” Hostin interjected.
“He hasn’t but — he’s been saying lots of people. Lots of people had been saying he was going to place RFK in…”
“He’ll,” Hostin promised.
“And I believed perhaps Rudy Giuliani can be like lawyer basic…”
“He could. He could,” Hostin then quipped.
Regardless of Hostin’s interruptions, Haines continued, “This can be a extra average model than folks anticipated him to do within the second time period…”
“Oh simply wait Sara,” Hostin then supplied.
“And you already know what? I’ll, however what I received’t do is stew and be afraid of the whole lot he might do and the explanations I didn’t vote for him, I’d be a multitude… There are three children at dwelling. I’ve to dress daily. I’ve to point out up at work. I’ve to maintain going. So proper now, I’ll right now say a few of these appear to be a extra average method.”
“Wait ’til he fires them,” Hostin then stated. “We’ll see.”
