On a recent episode of “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom for inviting prominent MAGA Republicans, including Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk, onto his new podcast “Politickin’.” Hostin described Newsom’s decision as “despicable,” expressing disappointment over his lack of pushback against his guests’ controversial claims and questioning the authenticity of his approach. She emphasized the importance of public servants being unapologetically authentic and criticized Newsom for normalizing election deniers without challenge.
