Sunny Hostin Calls for Open, Andor-Style ‘Rebellion’ to Fight Trump, GOP– www.newsbusters.org

The incendiary and stochastic terrorist rhetoric of ABC and Disney’s The View took on its darkest and most dangerous form yet. During their Behind the Table podcast on Monday, co-host Sunny Hostin called for an open “rebellion” to fight President Trump and Republicans. Her inspiration was Disney’s Andor, a live-action Star Wars show about the early days of the Rebel Alliance and their violent and clandestine efforts to overthrow the Galactic Empire.

WARNING: There will be spoilers. They’re necessary to give an idea for the type of “rebellion” Hostin was calling for.

Hostin’s open call for a rebellion was the climax of her reaction to recent election related news items. First, she echoed her previous false suggestion that only Republicans were gerrymandering and played dumb about why party gerrymandering was legal while racist gerrymandering wasn’t (party affiliation was not a protected class) (Click “expand”):

HOSTIN: Look, I mean, we’re seeing after the Supreme Court decision–

TETA: In Virginia.

HOSTIN: In Louisiana.

TETA: Oh, Louisiana. I’m sorry you’re right. Yes.

HOSTIN: The Louisiana decision that you can gerrymander based on political party and not race.

TETA: Right.

HOSTIN: Apparently, if you gerrymander on race, it’s illegal, but an unconstitutional, but fine to do it for political party.

An open call for violence? On The View’s Behind the Table podcast yesterday, Sunny Hostin called for an Andor-style “rebellion” to fight Trump and Republicans:

SUNNY HOSTIN: And we are felling the result of not having a resistance. A valuable resistance.

BRIAN TETA: You do… pic.twitter.com/bG8qvEg4uU
