Sunny Hostin complained on Wednesday that Democrats had failed to stand with Rep. Al Green (D-TX) and march out with him when he was ejected from
President Donald Trump's address to the joint session of Congress.

Hostin made the point during Wednesday's broadcast of "The View" on ABC
shortly after boasting that she hadn't even watched the president's remarks
in an effort to deny him the ratings.

"While I didn't watch it, I was looking for signs of an opposition party,
which is what the Democratic Party must be at this point," Hostin declared. "Not a resistance, because resistance is passive. Opposition is active, and I think that we -- what I saw when Representative Al Green stood up and said, 'You don't have a mandate to take away Medicaid,' and he was tossed out, I expected the rest of his Democratic caucus, the rest of his colleagues, to
walk out with him! Because alone you can survive but together you thrive."

"That is the energy that we need, they should have stood with him in solidarity," Hostin complained. "What I want to say to the Democrats is you can't play by the rules with a party that has thrown away the rulebook! You cannot do it!"

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin commented next, arguing that while the rebuttal delivered by Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) was "masterful," the Democrats' "antics on the floor were not helpful."

"I don't think that waving a cane is the optics that the Democrats want in
this moment," Griffin continued. "I don't think holding up signs that are now just being mocked on the internet -- who was advising these people?"

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg interrupted then to shut down any criticism of the Democrats.

"Here's what didn't happen: the last time someone did that, she was engaged
by the president," Goldberg said, referencing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her call for then-President Joe Biden to say aloud the name of murdered Georgia college student Laken Riley.

"See, all of this snowflake behavior of the Republicans, you know, you can't take it. You can dish it out but you can't take it," Goldberg continued, talking over Griffin's every effort to continue with her point.

[Am I having a stroke? I agree with that moron!]

I wonder if she feels the same way about California.

In the CA Assembly, one of the few Republicans left, Carl DeMaio from San Diego, has taken it upon himself to be a one-man DOGE for the state. He’s been
so effective at exposing billions in waste and fraud and corruption, that the Assembly speaker removed him from the Budget Committee and would give no
reason for doing so when asked by the media.

DeMaio doesn't even have a sympathetic chief executive to back him up like
Musk does. Newsom isn't giving DeMaio access to the state's books, nor is he even taking, let alone implementing, DeMaio's suggestions about what needs cutting. All DeMaio does is publicly expose the waste and corruption and embarrass the department heads in the Newsom administration who have to
testify about it before the committee.

And for that he gets booted off the committee for no stated, let alone valid, reason.

I betcha Sunny Hostin doesn't think California needs an opposition party to combat Democrat autocracy. Like everything these horrible women scream about daily, it only goes one way.
