WATCH: The View host cut off from discussing Bloomberg stop-and-frisk controversy

Published



A co-host of The View was cut off by her colleagues after she attempted to bring up Michael Bloomberg’s years-old defense of the stop-and-frisk policy that appeared in leaked audio this week.

“I think what’s interesting is that Bloomberg’s position within the African American community, he’s actually taking votes away from [Joe] Biden,” Sunny Hostin said on Wednesday’s show, noting that the former vice president will be a guest on Thursday. “There’s that newly released audio from 2015, an Aspen Institute speech when he was mayor — he was mayor of New York [City], I guess between 2002 and 2013. Again, he talks about this stop and frisk,” she added.
