Republican presidential aspirant Tim Scott appeared on “The View” on Monday morning and did have it heads-on with the hosts. At one point, he and Sunny Hostin were still arguing when the show returned from a commercial break.
It’s unclear what exactly the two were sparring on, though it appeared to be about the show’s attempt at getting someone else to appear on an episode. When the camera came back to the table after the break and the mics were turned back on, Hostin could be heard telling the U.S. senator, “We invited him on the show, he wouldn’t come.”
It seems the two didn’t realize the show had returned, as moderator Whoopi Goldberg quickly chimed in letting them know.
“We’re arguing over here still, I apologize,” Scott said.
At that, Hostin joked that they were “discussing,” not “arguing,” prompting Scott to say “I thought it was an argument, but it’s a discussion.”
Tim Scott and Sunny Hostin clashed throughout the entire episode mainly on the topic of systemic racism – each trying as hard to prove their point.
It was also reported that Tim Scott complained about The View cutting to a commercial break every time he wants a chance to respond.
At one point, Whoopi Goldberg scolded the audience for booing Tim Scott as he tried to answer.
Co-host Ana Navarro, a Florida resident, asked Scott point if he believed DeSantis and Republicans have gone too far with fighting culture wars, particularly with Disney, the parent company of ABC, which broadcasts The View.
“I don’t think that Republicans are going too far on some of the issues that you’re underlining. The truth of the matter is that when you look at what’s gone too far in the corporate culture is, in my opinion, the radical left making decisions to take stands against issues like the Georgia state election law,” Scott began.
“You think Disney is the radical left?” Navarro asked.
“I think Disney and Ron have been in a combat zone for a number of months over what I thought was the right issue as it relates to our young kids and what they’re being indoctrinated with. I thought he started off on the right foot on that issue,” Scott said as the audience began to jeer loudly.
“No, no, no, no. Not here. I’m sorry, sir. Do not boo. This is The View, we accept — we don’t have to believe everything people say, but you cannot boo people here. Please, you cannot do it. Please continue,” Goldberg said as the audience clapped. This is the second time in recent weeks Goldberg stepped in and stopped the audience from booing a prominent Republican.
Senator Tim Scott was a guest on the Monday edition of The View, where he explained his presidential platform and outlined his plan to beat former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) for the GOP nomination.
