(Red State)—”The View” cohost Sunny Hostin had a moment over President Donald Trump’s response to the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and suggested Trump is “militarizing” California as “a test run” for the rest of the country.
During the ABC talk show on Tuesday, the panel debated the reasons Trump sent in the National Guard troops to the city and deployed hundreds of U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton to LA after the local law enforcement came under attack by the lawless rioters.
