Sunny Hostin claimed on Wednesday that people who have been accurately reporting on polls — particularly those that show Vice President Kamala Harris hemorrhaging support from black men — were only doing so because they saw it as an opportunity to divide the black community.

Hostin shared her thoughts on ABC’s “The View,” where she claimed that reporting on those polls was just a way for journalists and pundits to “demonize” black men and create strife with just under three weeks to go before the November 5 general election.

“I think it will make a difference because of this division that they’re trying to cause within the black community,” Hostin began, and then pivoted to suggest that she believed black men would be a “problem” if it was true that they were refusing to support Harris. “I just think it’s a fallacy that black men are the problem. Black men are not the problem.”

Hostin went on to claim that an overwhelming percentage of black Americans — including black men — were supporting Harris. Her cohosts pointed out that President Joe Biden had gotten more support from black men than Harris has, and Hostin bristled: “But that doesn’t negate the fact that black men are still supporting Kamala Harris.”

She then suggested that the real problems were white women and Hispanic men, and then promptly complained, “Demonizing black men I think needs to stop when it comes to Kamala Harris.”

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg then tried to explain away former President Barack Obama’s suggestion that black men were sexist and that would explain why they were uncomfortable with the idea of a woman at the top of the ticket.

“Black men come from our bodies. So black men have black mothers so they’re used to having these conversations with women,” she said.

“The matriarchy is strong with the black community,” Hostin agreed.
