ABC’s “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin says she feels unsafe when she visits neighborhoods where American flags are displayed prominently. Multiple outlets report that Hostin made the comments on Monday, repeating a past claim she previously raised in 2021. According to the reports, she describes feeling “unsafe” or suddenly feeling unsafe when walking in such areas, particularly when flags are present “all over” a community. One outlet also reports that Hostin ties her reaction to concerns about the symbol being used by white supremacists, saying such groups have “co-opted” the American flag. The outlets broadly agree on the core points: Hostin publicly discusses discomfort while in certain neighborhoods based on the visibility of American flags, and she frames her reaction as a sense of personal safety risk rather than a general critique of the flag itself. The statements are presented as Hostin’s personal account of how she feels during visits to those neighborhoods.
