Letter to the editor: Voters couldn’t afford Harris as president

OPINION:

On the Nov. 22 episode of “The View,” lawyer, author and show co-host Sunny Hostin continued to regurgitate the same old leftist propaganda when she said: “How did a convicted felon resonate more with Americans than a hyper-qualified woman of color?”

Still apparently struggling to grasp how voters chose Donald Trump over Kamala Harris, Ms. Hostin attempted to cajole a cohort in her stereotyped agenda. She asked the show’s guest, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, “Do you think that racism and misogyny played any part in this election?” 

Mr. Jeffries, New York Democrat, pushed back even against members of his party who continue to play the blame game for Ms. Harris’ defeat. He argued that the high cost of living has placed a huge burden on most Americans, making the American dream unattainable.

While TV shows such as “The View” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live” spew racist and misogynist postelection conspiracy theories, their viewers must learn to think for themselves as the rest of us forge ahead and turn the page on that type of toxicity.
