<p><a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/alyssa-farah-griffin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alyssa Farah Griffin</a> visibly recoiled on Wednesday when her liberal co-host Sunny Hostin appeared to blow off the attempted assassination of Republican New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin.</p>
<p>Griffin, a Republican who was hired to replace former co-host Meghan McCain on ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;The View,&#8221; was clearly taken aback when Hostin explained away the vicious attack by saying that Zeldin was &#8220;hated.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Racist Sunny Hostin justifies the attempted assassination of Lee Zeldin because &quot;he&#39;s hated.&quot; <br />And she blames him directly for a rise in murders because &quot;He voted against the ban on semiautomatic weapons.&quot;<br />Whoopi brushed off the crime happening to his family: &quot;that&#39;s New York.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/EufhqlxwP0">pic.twitter.com/EufhqlxwP0</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href="https://twitter.com/NickFondacaro/status/1585293744059850752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 26, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Co-host Whoopi Goldberg began the segment with a response to New York&#8217;s gubernatorial debate — which took place on Tuesday between Zeldin and incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul — and she accused Zeldin of simply attacking Hochul on crime without ever presenting a plan of his own.</p>
<p>&#8220;Crime is rough everywhere, it&#8217;s happening everywhere,&#8221; Goldberg insisted, adding, &#8220;And what I wanted from Lee Zeldin, I wanted a plan.&#8221;</p>
<p>Goldberg went on to say that even though she didn&#8217;t always agree with Hochul&#8217;s plan, she at least knew what it was. &#8220;What is your plan, Lee Zeldin?&#8221; she asked.</p>
<p>Griffin then cut in, saying she&#8217;d be happy to lay out the Republican plan — and Goldberg shut her down, arguing that it only counted if it came from Zeldin.</p>
<p>Hostin added her two cents after that, appearing to blame at least some of the rising crime on Zeldin because he had &#8220;voted against the ban on semiautomatic weapons, and homicides are up.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hostin went on to claim that people only really cared about violent crime, adding, &#8220;They don&#8217;t care about broken window crimes, they really don&#8217;t care about that as much, they care about violent crimes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Griffin pushed back, noting that Zeldin himself had been the victim of an <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/nyt-floats-inside-job-conspiracy-after-lee-zeldin-attackers-quick-release/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assassination attempt</a> at a recent campaign stop — and Hostin appeared to shrug that off: &#8220;He&#8217;s hated, that&#8217;s true.&#8221;</p>
<p>Griffin&#8217;s reaction was immediate and visible. &#8220;Well, that&#8217;s not okay, though, that&#8217;s horrifying!&#8221; she exclaimed, throwing up her hands in protest.</p>
<p>Hostin backpedaled quickly, explaining, &#8220;No, I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s ok, but he is divisive &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Griffin went on to note that in addition to the attack, a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/twin-daughters-of-ny-gov-hopeful-lee-zeldin-hide-as-shooting-unfolds-outside-home/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shooting</a> had occurred just outside his home recently as well — while his teenaged daughters were inside the house. Goldberg dismissed that, saying, &#8220;That&#8217;s New York City right now.&#8221;</p>
