"Well then, I'm the problem!" Sunny Hostin doubles down on her support for Platner despite the sexual assault allegations and plays whataboutism: SARA HAINES: It is the disgusting time in politics where we decide what we're willing to morally accept based on the jersey you're wearing. And if you were one of those people that was willing to plug your nose, you're the problem. HOSTIN: Well then, I'm the problem! Because I was one of those people and I said it, if I lived in Maine I would have, you know, plugged my nose and would have voted for him anyway. I think we are in a time of existential crisis in this country and I think Republicans fall in line. They don't fall in love. Democrats want to fall in love and not fall in line. You know, the Republican Party, the bar is so very low, I can't believe, I cannot believe that they want to try to assume the moral high ground on the Republican Party. I mean, you know, you can miss me with all of that especially when you have Pete Hegseth who was confirmed by the Senate in 2025 as the head -- as a cabinet member, as the defense secretary when he had one drinking allegation. His sister-in-law, his sister-in-law submitted a sworn affidavit describing his drinking problem. And in order to get confirmed he pledged he wouldn't drink on the job. Number two, he had a tattoo controversy. Not one, but two tattoo controversies, one was a Deus Vult tattoo, which is used by white nationalist groups. Two, he had - has a Jerusalem Cross tattoo which has been interpreted as an extremist symbol. And finally, in 2017 a woman claimed he had sexually assaulted her after a conference. She reported that assault immediately, she had a sexual assault examination, and in 2020 and he says it was a consensual encounter. And in to 2020 he paid her $50,000 to settle the claim yet, yet. FARAH GRIFFIN: Why not condemn them all? Because I condemn them all. HOSTIN: Yet -yet. Well, but the Republicans didn't do that. [Crosstalk] HOSTIN: The republicans confirmed him and he is the - [Crosstalk] FARAH GRIFFIN: Well, I'm a Republican right here condemning anyone who's been credibly accused of sexual abuse, they shouldn't be - HOSTIN: I'm talking about the Republican Party as a whole. They are the Epstein file protection party and - FARAH GRIFFIN: You'd be comfortable still voting for Graham Platner if you lived in Maine? HOSTIN: They do not get to take the moral high ground.
