Sunny Hostin says Kamala Harris has to work extra hard on the campaign trail as election day rapidly approaches. While discussing the different ways in which Harris and her opponent Donald Trump are treated with The View‘s Hot Topics panel, Hostin claimed that Harris needs to be “perfect” for Americans.
During a chat about Harris’ Oct. 23 CNN Town Hall event with undecided voters in Pennsylvania, Whoopi Goldberg compared Harris’ approach to that of Trump, who “gets to walk around bloviating.”
Hostin couldn’t agree more. She proclaimed, “She is being held to a different standard. She has to be perfect, while he has been the most imperfect candidate that we have ever seen for presidency in our lifetimes, that is just a fact! That is a fact.
“And you know, the criticism that she’s getting is that she’s too scripted,” Hostin continued. “I say she’s disciplined. I want someone who’s disciplined near the nuclear codes, I want someone who is moderate near the nuclear codes. And so all this criticism that she’s getting makes it very clear to me that not only is it a binary choice, people are holding her to this different standard because you have a maniac on the other side talking about, ‘They’re eating the pets’ and all these dog whistles.”
Joy Behar chimed in to exclaim, “Dog whistles, that was a good one!” as Hostin paused and cheekily noted, “They’re dog whistles, see what I did there?” before continuing, “But on the other side, she’s talking about policies and to blame her for the state of immigration and not solving immigration, I thought her answer was masterful,” referring to Harris’ remarks about immigration at the Pennsylvania Town Hall last night.
She declared, “They were trying to get a bill accomplished that Trump, now, is running on. He’s running on failures at the border. You know why? Because he is the one that stopped the bill from passing, and let’s not forget that.”
