BREAKING: The View's Sunny Hostin shreds the racist UFC smear of Michelle Obama in a scathing takedown.
She nailed exactly how we’re feeling…
“I do want to address the derogatory slur made about the former First Lady Michelle Obama,” Hostin said on the show. “Because I think it's important to address and we won't dignify what was said by repeating it. Yeah, but you should look it up.”
Over the weekend, Trump hosted a drunken mob of MAGA fanatics and MMA fighters on the White House lawn. One of the fighters, Josh Hokit, brought the disgraceful proceedings crashing to absolute rock bottom when he shouted “Michelle Obama is a man” into the microphone.
“And I think the reason that it's important is because for a long time and the roots are in slavery,” continued Hostin. “Black women have been slurred and made to feel that they were unattractive, made to feel that they were masculine, made to feel that they didn't have the femininity that a white woman would have.”
This is the key point. Calling Black women “men” has long been a favored insult of white supremacists. Their aim is to degrade and humiliate women of color while asserting that only white women can truly be “women.” It’s a line of attack ripped straight out of a Klan brochure.
Note that this particular defamation is reserved for Mrs. Obama. Republicans despise Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Jill Biden but you’ll never see them attacking their femininity. That indignity is hurled solely at Black women.
“And so there's this intersectionality between racism and sexism that was on full display at the White House,” explained Hostin. “The crowd laughed at the statement and the President of the United States smirked and never addressed what was said. That is beneath the dignity of the office of the President of the United States and it's beneath the dignity of the American people.”
While we agree in principle, unfortunately nothing is “beneath the office of the presidency” while Donald Trump remains in the Oval Office. He’s a racist, rapist, pedophile. As long as he’s in power, America will continue scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the Obamas!
This is Officer Caroline Edwards and she was one of the Capitol Police that defended the Capitol on J6 during the Insurrection. The rioters attacked her cracking her head open & leaving her with a permanent brain injury. Trump said it was Peaceful and full of Love that day!
@Bulldog3180@mmpadellan Obviously, but one could wish to see Mrs Obama verbally and with class, take apart the UFC.
But again, Mrs Obama has class, and the UFC...
Speaker Mike Johnson thinks that he deserves a raise even though he already makes $223,400 a year and that’s when he’s not trying to hide from the Epstein files and taking a vacation.
@JamesTate121 It's not nonsense, and he is working for you, and in all iobs, there is a rule for behavior and speak
But then again, you ARE WHITE TRASH no matter how much money you have.
ICE vehicles hit their car while their children were inside. Then agents dragged the parents out during drop-off and a preschool graduation, in front of crying kids. All on school property.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that schools are supposed to be safe places for children, not federal ambush zones.
That’s not public safety. That’s state-sponsored trauma.
The ammunition to fight ICE is here: https://t.co/Txyhf9LSil
🚨 Absolute madness in the US right now as the Uruguay national team gets pulled to the side of the road and treated like straight-up suspects.
They literally just landed for the World Cup and security is already ripping their luggage open on the tarmac with sniffer dogs everywhere
Qatar and Russia hosted without this level of paranoia but the "land of the free" is handing out pure humiliation to Global South athletes before a single match is even played, the double standards are screaming.
Why is the U.S. giving Iran $25 billion for “humanitarian purposes” when the Navajo Nation Reservation is declaring a state of emergency due to having no access to fresh drinking water?
@trudat2020@AustinR02365365@allenanalysis I think it's not The White House that is trash...it's the people who live there presently. Now, if they are called the White Trash Family, that lives in OUR WHITE HOUSE, seems more like it.
