The View’s Sunny Hostin slams Democrats for not walking out in solidarity with Al Green during Trump speech

While some establishment Democrats are joining conservatives in expressing outrage over Rep. Al Green (D-TX) heckling President Donald Trump during Tuesday night’s joint address to Congress, The View’s Sunny Hostin railed against Democrats for not walking out en masse when Green was escorted out.

With the Texas lawmaker refusing to back down, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson eventually called for the sergeant of arms to escort Green out of the chamber while gleeful conservatives cheered and sang “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye.”
