The women of ABC’s The View have guessed Michelle Obama‘s shocking decision not to attend President-elect Donald Trump has to do with his alleged ‘racism’.
One of the show’s five co-hosts, Sunny Hostin, 56, offered her take during the Friday broadcast as to why the former First Lady will skip the inauguration on Monday, suggesting the decision was due to Trump’s alleged ‘lack of diversity.’
The 56-year-old television star suggested Michelle, 61, has opted out of the ceremony because ‘she did not enjoy Trump’s 2017 inauguration’, which distinctly had a ‘lack of color’.
‘What I will say is, she said that she did not enjoy Trump’s 2017 inauguration, because there was no diversity, there was no color on that stage, she said there was no reflection of what the broader sense of what America looks like and many people took pictures of her, and she just wasn’t in a good mood,’ Hostin said.
The famed co-host agreed with Michelle’s surprising decision, claiming ‘she is so right’ prompting an eruption of applause from the studio audience.
‘Yes, Lord, she is so right, she is so right!’ Hostin started while the audience audibly clapped.
‘She gave us that, “When they go low, we must go high,” and I think she’s changed her tune. I think when they go low, you have to meet that energy and perhaps go even lower [and] become small like an ant and go to the Earth’s crust,’ Hostin added.
