Less than a month after the second assassination attempt on former President Trump’s life, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) spewed dangerous, incendiary rhetoric against him on the Monday episode of ABC’s The View. According to her, Trump was a Nazi who was literally planning a second Kristallnacht but against “black and brown communities,” if he was to get elected again.
At a rally over the weekend, Trump vented about how liberal cities allow crime to run rampant as they have police stand by as shoplifters and criminals make off with goods. “The craziest thing. And the police aren't allowed to do their job [Transition] If you had, like, one day, one real, rough nasty day [Transition] One rough hour, and I mean real rough, the word will get out, and it will end immediately,” he told the crowd in the highly edited soundbite The View presented.
According to Hostin’s brain, that off-the-cuff chatter was supposedly a serious policy proposal to have police target “black and brown communities” for destruction. Adding stuff Trump didn’t say, she insisted the plan was for a second Kristallnacht, which she couldn’t pronounce:
HOSTIN: He said, if you had one really violent day, he floats a plan to end crime in which he says that the police should be allowed one really violent day in which they could be extraordinarily rough with anyone they suspect of a crime.
Now, as the mother of a black 6'2" son, we know he's going to send those police officers into black and brown communities and migrant communities. We also know that he believes that police officers should have immunity. And so for me, that means we are at risk of what happened in Nazi Germany, and they call that the uh –
ANA NAVARRO: Kristallnacht.
HOSTIN: they call it uh -- I can't pronounce that, but they call it The Night of Broken Glass.
NAVARRO: Kristallnacht
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Kristallnacht
HOSTIN: Kristallnacht, in which there was a coordinated wave of anti-Semitic violence in Nazi Germany to attack the Jews.
“And if a person is watching these violent movies and he's talking about Hannibal Lecter and he's talking about the Night of Broken Glass, he's in a very, very dark place and he has a very, very dark vision of America,” she declared.
She went on to plead: “And I really, really hope that people are paying attention to what he is saying because he is saying the quiet parts out loud.”
Ironically, Hostin pushed that ridiculousness after former Trump staffer and faux conservative, Alyssa Farah Griffin asserted that Trump’s “chief currency is fear, and fear works with his base.”
