Sunny Hostin, the well-known co-host of "The View, " has decided to leave the social media platform X. She shared her reasons on the "Behind The Table" podcast, explaining that her departure was a "patriotic" act. Hostin, who is a Democrat, feels that the platform, now owned by Elon Musk, has become unwelcoming. She noted that the once vibrant "Black Twitter" community has been replaced with misogyny and racism. Hostin believes that being associated with the platform and its owner is not something she wants.

After the 2020 presidential election, Hostin faced backlash on X for her comments about "uneducated white women" and Latino men who voted for Trump. She argued that cultural resentment played a significant role in Trump's victory. Her words sparked controversy, with some users criticizing her for being biased and focused on identity politics.

Hostin doesn't engage with the comments on X but is aware of the threats and negativity directed at her. She has made it clear that she won't support products or services owned by Musk, such as Tesla, and will not invest in Tesla stock. This decision highlights her commitment to standing against views she finds harmful.
