"The View" debates Latinos for Trump

On a recent episode of "The View," cohosts Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin had a brief but tense exchange of differing opinions as to why Tuesday's election saw such a sweep for Donald Trump when it came to Latino voters in Texas — a demographic that Democrats have historically had a stronghold on.

During their post-election roundup, Griffin — who served as press secretary for former VP Mike Pence and as special assistant to Trump from October 2017 to September 2019 — kicked off the topic, saying, "We talk a lot about these different demographics and assumptions of where they're going to go, Latinos in Texas, a district that's 97 percent Latino, went 75 percentage points for Donald Trump. Why?" Hostin cut in with "misogyny" as the answer to that question, leading to a quick rift put to rest by an intervening Whoopi Goldberg.
