BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – “The View” co-hosts Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sunny Hostin clashed while discussing the rise in antisemitism on college campuses and Ivy League university presidents being grilled by lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Hostin argued that Tuesday’s congressional hearing on the rise in antisemitism on college campuses should have been about free speech. “The most hateful and heinous speech is the most protected speech,” she said.
“What you heard was them saying what is completely accurate under the law, it depends on the context. So if someone does yell at a crowd racial slurs or calls for genocide in a public place, in a crowd, that is protected speech,” Hostin said.
“What if someone made the same comments about blacks?” Griffin asked Hostin.
“Well, that person should be locked up, because historically speaking worldwide, blacks have been treated worse than Jews,” responded Hostin. “Blacks have been mistreated for hundreds of years, and Jews have been mistreated for only a couple of months.”
