With America’s 250th birthday coming up next month, ABC News co-host Sunny Hostin went on an anti-American rant during Friday’s episode of The View. Hostin, who once said she felt more comfortable in Ghana than America, proclaimed she was “embarrassed” by many things about the country that gave her the privilege to be a multimillionaire TV co-host. She even asserted that America was a “failed experiment” in self-governance.
While reacting to the UFC stage being built on the White House lawn, Hostin raged at America and ranted about how “embarrassed” the country made her. She was especially embarrassed by what other countries thought of America:
And at this point, I am embarrassed at our government. I'm embarrassed at our lack of healthcare. I'm embarrassed on the assault on the press. I'm embarrassed of our Congress. I'm embarrassed by the criminal felon president that is in the Oval Office that has a UFC cage on the White House lawn.
(…)
I'm embarrassed about all those things. And I'm also embarrassed at how America is now seen across the globe. I don't think that many Americans understand that we are part of a wonderful global community. And when you look at our allies, our allies are now giving us a one-star rating as a country.
