“The View” co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin say they support people who cut off their family members during the holidays if they are Donald Trump supporters.
On Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin said voting for trump is a “moral issue.”
The View co-hosts weighed in after a Yale psychiatrist told Joy Reid it is “completely fine” to cut off your relatives for the holidays if they voted for Trump.
Hostin said family members who voted for Trump have low morals.
“I really do feel that this candidate, President-elect Trump is just a different type of candidate — from the things he’s said and the things he’s done and the things he will do — it’s more of a moral issue for me, and I think it’s a moral issue for a lot of people,” she explained.
Goldberg added that she feels the “same way” about political beliefs that don’t match her own. “There are certain things where you don’t have to put your family in the middle of it. You can have dinner at another point but it might not be the time to gather because you know that there’s gonna be some tension.”
However, co-hosts Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin said they wouldn’t let politics “split up” their families during the holidays.
Navarro, who has a more traditional household than Goldberg and Hostin, said she won’t cut off her family members because of their political beliefs.
“I think everybody needs to do what’s right for them. I think you need to look into yourself and if going to a family gathering or with friends where it’s going to stress you out, then don’t go,” Navarro said.
She then noted that her husband Al’s children voted for Trump and he has 13 grandchildren that he “refuses not to see” and will see them “come hell or high water.”
“He has told them, ‘I will not let politics split up our family,'” Navarro added.
