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."
NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocatedto a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,” said the spokesman, Corbin Trent. “She is not living in the exact same condo.’’ The recent move still didn’t explain why residents at her previous digs — a one-bedroom Bronx condo owned by her mom — insisted they had never seen her there. U.S. reps and senators are required to have a residence in their home districts. Trent claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was at her new home Sunday afternoon, al
