<p>The day after President Donald Trump&#8217;s 2026 State of the Union address, the hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; first made it clear that they were not impressed with him, but then reserved some of their sharpest critiques for Democrats like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who &#8220;gave him his moment.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cohost Joy Behar complained that the whole thing had made her &#8220;furious and scared,&#8221; adding that she was &#8220;physically ill from it and more nauseous than usual watching him.&#8221;</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Sunny Hostin whines about Trump using the term &#8216;illegals&#8217; to accurately describe illegals and falsely claims everyone had stopped using it before Trump came along. She also complains that Democrats even attended the address because they looked bad:<br />
&#8220;That saying that people are… <a href="https://t.co/zqUlybiz1c">pic.twitter.com/zqUlybiz1c</a></p>
<p>— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href="https://twitter.com/NickFondacaro/status/2026697528079515709?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 25, 2026</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Sunny Hostin, a former federal prosecutor, began her review by complaining that the president insists upon using the term &#8220;illegal&#8221; when referring to people who have entered the United States illegally.</p>
<p>&#8220;That saying that people are illegal, illegal aliens. That really matters,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t used that term for so long. Now it&#8217;s back in vogue. You are not illegal as a human being just because you&#8217;re undocumented, and so that for me, that felt dehumanizing to our immigrant population.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hostin then recalled a conversation from the day before — when Behar argued that Democrats should boycott the speech entirely to avoid giving Trump the appearance of legitimacy — and said that although she&#8217;d disagreed at the time, watching the president speak had changed her mind.</p>
<p>&#8220;Someone like Ilhan Omar, who fiercely is protective of Minnesotans and Somalians in particular, she gave him that moment that he wanted when the Democrats wouldn&#8217;t stand because he was calling people illegal aliens, they didn&#8217;t stand, and he called them crazy. They gave him all these moments,&#8221; Hostin complained. &#8220;They were used as props. It was disgusting.&#8221;</p>
