The View Sunny Hostin Gets Out Of Control

With the recent election of President-elect Donald Trump, Sunny Hostin has been snapping at her co-hosts frequently. Undoubtedly, The View panel is primarily feeling dismayed over the current state of the union. When the topic of private school vouchers came up in Hot Topics, it all went downhill. Sunny adamantly was against school vouchers and shared her living experience. She notes that vouchers would steal from the money that is provided for the underserved population. Furthermore, she believes it would only benefit the rich and not effectively provide aid for less fortunate public school students.

Multiple times, she refocused the conversation to get her stance heard while Alyssa Farah Griffin couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Sunny continued to explain her strong opinion while Alyssa interrupted, “I don’t see it…” Sunny said, “Let me just finish this…” Alyssa inserts, “I’m not making this up.” Sunny cuts her off again and proceeds to speak to her point. Alyssa gets louder and begins to plow over Sunny’s voice saying, “If I may get in just to make it a conversation.” Instead of a back-and-forth conversation, Sunny took over the segment and wouldn’t allow other opinions. Previously, this has been an important and angering topic for Sunny. Notably, she wants others to understand the magnitude of a decision to make this change.

Whoopi Shuts The Show Down

Simultaneously, both Alyssa and Sunny shouted over each other to keep the attention on their view. Since the two couldn’t peacefully discuss the matter, Whoopi stomped down on the topic. At that point, no one could hear Sunny or Alyssa’s ideas so Whoopi said, “Because no one can figure out what is being said here right now…” Sunny says, “One final word…” Whoopi angrily announces, “No, there is no final word here…” Abruptly, Whoopi ends the chaos by sending the heated issue to a commercial break instead. However, right or wrong, Alyssa was disturbed she didn’t get a chance to state her views. Alyssa continued to argue and Whoopi wasn’t having it. She scolded both Sunny and Alyssa for their lack of respect for one another on the issue.
