What comment from The View sparked this episode about the American flag?
and with an american flag on that cap you might as well have a hood on you might as well have a hood on because that's what it looks like that's what it feels like all right guys we are back with the ladies of the view they can't run from me and i certainly can't run from them no matter how hard i try let's talk about it yeah you better yeah you better before we get into today's video please consider liking and subscribing if you like what you hear today we're going to be headed over to a clip from the view which is what we do on this channel i'm sorry they have take after take that is just arcing my system okay guys and today is just another one of those days we're gonna roll it back to july 4th a little bit of course we celebrated our 250th anniversary as a country and one thing the view is gonna do
He's called that out and not celebrated. On top of that, Sonny Hostin decides to go on a tirade about the American flag and how it's been co-opted by white supremacists and hate groups and how whenever she sees an American flag, she's just quaking in her boots.
And with an American flag on that cap, you might as well have a hood on. You might as well have a hood on because that's what it looks like. That's what it feels like. But you say this is the best nation.
The best nation for who? You know, when you say it's the best nation, the best nation for who? Now they've been doing this for a really long, long time. That guest, by the way, is Michelle Beto. She is an American actress and comedian. Now they always do this. When they say America's great, great again for who? When was America great and when do you wanna roll it back? When you say this country's so wonderful, wonderful for who? As they all sit in designer clothes with their red bottom shoes on the view with a whole audience watching them and giving them the clapper every time they say anything, they make millions of dollars presumably return home to nice homes with nice families here in the country of United States of America that they do not have to be in.
And you know what? If any of these women ever decide to leave the United States, somebody of their exact same marginalized group will be just waiting to enter this country and to take their place. In fact, they'd take a place of much less status comparatively in this country and would love being here. So when you say great for who, there are answers to that. And one of those answers is great for all of you, each and every one of you, which is why you stay in this country every single day complaining about where you're at and where the world is.
Why does the host rewind to the July 4th photo and what controversy does it show?
if we are celebrating 250 years, what are we exactly celebrating is what I want to know. And so I'm really glad that picture was taken because that picture is how we feel walking into many rooms down the street.
That picture is... Okay, let's pause and talk about this picture. This is a picture that was circulating on July 4th, I believe was also taken on July 4th. It is a woman on a bus, I believe in Washington. And these sort of like, I guess, Proud Boy type guys enter the bus and they're standing on it with her. And this is now an iconic photograph about American politics and white supremacy and hate groups. And they're talking about how fearful this woman is or was. Okay. First of all, what does this have to do with whether or not you can be patriotic about where you're at in this country on its 250th anniversary? Also, what happened to this woman after this picture was taken? She got off the bus and I'm pretty sure she just went to wherever it was she was going.
Is anybody bothering her in this picture? I guess just visually so. They're bothering her with their presence in this photograph. Really bad group of white supremacists. of hateful individuals when you have a black woman, I guess, right there sitting on your bus and you're all, none of you are facing her or giving her the time of day whatsoever. And I think she safely arrived at her destination. That's so crazy. You know who that didn't happen for?
