Diamond and Silk Has Some Words for ‘The View’ Hosts for ‘Advocating Violence’ Against Trump

Former Vice President Joe Biden kicked off a war of words with President Donald Trump after claiming he would “beat the hell” out of Trump for his actions toward women. Sunny Hostin appeared impressed by Biden’s words calling it “chivalrous” on Thursday’s episode of “The View.” “There was something chivalrous about it in a sense.” She later added, “Trump is such a bully. I almost — and I hate to say this. You know, why hasn’t anybody taken him out back and kicked his little butt?”

The panel of “Fox & Friends” were too eager to jump on Hostin and the other “View” ladies for agreeing with Biden. Their go-to duo Diamond and Silk had some words for Hostin. “I think that Sunny Hostin is advocating violence against a sitting president so why hasn’t somebody taken her out back to talk to her about that.” They then pushed for a chance to visit the show to personally address any anti-Trump sentiments, “I wish ‘The View’ would muster up the courage to invite Diamond and Silk on their show to sit on the other end of that table so when they say something dumb or stupid about our president we can get them straight!”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
