NOMINEES: 

 

Sunny Hostin: Supreme Court Decision Means “My Children” Have “Less Civil Rights Than I Did” 

“I can tell you as a black woman that my father was born in 1949. He remembers segregated schools. He remembers segregated water fountains….He did not have full civil rights. And he told me when I turned 40 years old that I was the first person in his family to enjoy full civil rights, and he is still alive today, and I am still alive today, and I have been discriminated against. And now I have to tell my children that they have less civil rights than I did when I was born. That is disgusting, despicable, and I am devastated by this particular Supreme Court decision.”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, April 30. 

 

Whoopi: SCOTUS Decision Was Wrong Because Whites Are “Still” Shooting, Siccing Dogs on Black People at the Polls

“We make laws to fix problems. We put the Voting Rights Act together because there was an issue, because they were keeping people from voting! They were literally shooting people! They were running them down with dogs to keep them from voting! Okay? Let’s start with that. So when they say that problem is gone, it’s not gone, because you’re still doing it!”
— Co-host Whoopi Goldberg on ABC’s The View, April 30. 

 

Kathy Griffin Attacks Charlie and Erika Kirk

“Wasn’t that Erika Kirk video weird? Her being not girly and looking like – I don’t even know what – like a sniper? She looks like she’s going to an anti-ICE protest, which is something she would not do. Look, I’m done giving her a pass. All right, I knew Charlie Kirk. I did a panel with him one time. And his squished-in face. And yeah, I said that because that dude was a straight-up Nazi. And that is my opinion. But - you know- the way we’ve deified him is bizarre. Never seen anything like it.” 
— Comedian Kathy Griffin on her podcast Talk Your Head Off, May 5.
