"The View" host Sunny Hostin complained on Tuesday that the United States
sending black people to jail was worse than Communist China sending Uyghur
Muslims to concentration camps.

Hostin made the remarks during a conversation about declining patriotism and
the idea of American exceptionalism -- and whether or not she and her cohosts
believed that it was still something people believed in.

Republican cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that while the United States
was not perfect, it was certainly the nation in which individuals had
realized the most freedoms. She went on to say that in the current climate,
if America was to fall away as the global leader, the nation likely to take
its place would not support the same type of freedom worldwide.

"If America is not the number one global power, it's not going to be Denmark,
it's going to be communist China, a country that right now the government is
imprisoning Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps," Griffin explained. "It is
a deeply racist government, it's a human rights-violating government, it's a
government that if they are the leader of the free world, we are not a free
world like we are right now. Nowhere else in the world do all these women sit
at this table."

"We all know it's a great country because we all have benefitted from some of
the great things about this country," Joy Behar agreed, but she went on to
complain about things she thought ought to be fixed -- such as the health
care system -- and argued that mass shootings like the one that occurred on
Monday in Nashville left people feeling more scared than patriotic.

Hostin joined the conversation then, arguing that the real problem in America
was white supremacy. She then suggested -- without questioning whether or not
they had committed crimes -- that the United States putting black people in
jail was certainly a bigger problem that communist China imprisoning over one
million citizens based solely on their religion and ethnicity.

"When I listen to Christopher Wray, the head of the FBI, he said white
supremacy is the biggest domestic threat to this country and so as a woman of
color and with a 6'2? black kid in college and a 5'7?, 5'8? Black kid in high
school, I don't see that part of American exceptionalism. I'm sorry," Hostin
said.

"I think this country has a lot of problems that could be solved. Yes, maybe
they're putting Muslims in jail in Afghanistan, I think you mentioned?" She
continued

"China," Griffin corrected.

"China? They're putting a lot more black people in jail here," Hostin
claimed.
