During a segment about the celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee
on Friday, one host on The View expressed deep antipathy for the
celebration, even though she used to love anything to do with
celebrating the royals.
Co-host Sunny Hostin explained how her fondness for the "pomp and circumstance" of the British royal family has completely waned in recent years because of her study of western imperialism.
Hostin
admitted she doesn’t care about the Queen's 70th anniversary on the
throne or anything else currently going on with the royals because of
how their legacy was "built on the backs and the souls of slaves."
She
began by explaining how when she lived in England for a time, she was
enamored with the monarchy. Jokingly, she claimed, "Everything is
terrible except for the monarchy." She added that "The accents are
great," as well.
"I actually loved the pomp and circumstance of it all when I was
there and I sat outside and watched the changing of the guards and I
loved all of that. I remember when Princess Diana married Charles, I stayed up all night and I woke up and watched it," she said happily.
But
she quickly turned somber, reflecting on when she discovered the
history of British imperialism. "But now that I learned a little more
about the history of England and the colonization of –" she continued,
before co-host Joy Behar interjected, saying, "The imperialism."
Hostin
ran with the clarification. "The imperialism and colonization of the
Caribbean and the fact that Britain and the monarchy took like $1
trillion from Africa," she continued, adding, "and I’ve learned that,
you know, Jamaica is now removing the Queen from her position there, and
Barbados removed the Queen, and all the Caribbean islands are removing
the Queen."
As such, she declared, "Now I’m not as enamored of the pomp and
circumstance, because it was built on the backs and the souls of slaves.
So, I’m just not as interested."
"But I was enamored of it before," she added.
The
View audience applauded Hostin’s comments, though co-host Whoopi
Goldberg expressed that she doesn’t believe that should ruin the celebration of the Queen.
"I still think it is great for them. I think it is great they have a –
because underneath our carpets is more imperialism. Okay. Just ask the
people who were here originally," Whoopi claimed.
Hostin replied, "Well, people know how I feel about that as well."
"What my point is, I’m okay with their pomp and circumstance. That’s
what they’re doing. That’s how they’re celebrating," Goldberg explained,
adding, "This is a big old mark for them. I’m thrilled for them.
Doesn’t happen here. We don’t do that here."
President Donald Trump has an Achilles' heel when it comes to Russia. Over the years, he's made no secret that he has a soft spot for the country and its authoritarian leader, President Vladimir Putin. Trump has proved that he is willing to reject widely held US foreign policy views and align himself with the Kremlin on everything from Russian interference in US elections to the war in Syria. Most recently, Trump has denied the veracity of US intelligence reports accusing Russia of paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US troops in Afghanistan. Pressed on the topic during an interview with Axios that was released on Wednesday, Trump said he did not raise the issue during a recent phone call with Putin, and continued to suggest that the reports are "fake news." During the 2016 campaign, Trump's ties to Russians were so concerning that the FBI believed there was good reason to investigate potential collusion between his 2016 campaign an...
