24 hours after dubiously suggesting Republicans may have planted the classified documents in President Biden’s garage in Delaware, racist co-host Sunny Hostin of ABC’s The View refused to walk back that conspiracy theory Friday.

Reining in Government Spending? Let’s Get Real
Behind the refusal of the House Republican Party’s so-called freedom caucus to vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is the caucus’s skepticism that he will actually “rein in government spending.” I’ve never quite understood why all Republicans do not belong to the Freedom Caucus.
