"The View" hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg appeared to defend previous remarks made by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., comparing the U.S. to the Taliban and Hamas, and said it "depends on who you talk to."
"What I was disappointed with was sort of the tropes, he constantly attacks Ilhan Omar," Hostin said, referring to Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. "And yes, she made that comment, the all about the Benjamins comment and then Nancy Pelosi pulled her, you know, coat tail and said let me tell you something, that’s something that you’re going to apologize for and she did apologize."
Hostin noted that the Democratic congresswoman has not anything like that again and declared that she was more popular in her district than McCarthy is in his district. Haines said that Omar compared "the U.S., Israel, Hamas and the Taliban as all terrorist organizations" in 2021.
"She has maybe way more knowledge and experience in the very complicated middle eastern relations, but I did find, that being on a foreign committee and comparing the country to a terrorist, known terrorists, those are organized terrorist communities, not Israel, but Hamas and the Taliban …" Haines continued.
