“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin expressed her approval Wednesday of migrants coming to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.

The panel responded to Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sending two planes of migrants Wednesday evening from his state to Martha’s Vineyard. Hostin, who has spent several summers in Martha’s Vineyard, praised the fact that migrants are being transported there.

“Martha’s Vineyard is my happy place, it’s my home away from home, I spend the summer there, I wrote a book, ‘Summer on the Bluffs.’ It’s a beautiful place and I’m happy they are there because it’s a place that historically has allowed people from other places. Black people, it was the only place in our country, one of three, that allowed black people in the late 1800’s to own property and beach front property. So, welcome to Martha’s Vineyard.”

The other co-hosts criticized DeSantis sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, though there is no indication that the migrants were forced to board these planes and may have done so voluntarily. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed the governor is “playing” with human beings. (RELATED: Liberals Melt Down Over DeSantis Flying Migrants To Martha’s Vineyard)

“I understand what they’re trying to do, I get that they’re trying to make a point. But these are people you’re playing with,” Goldberg said. “These are real life people with children and older people and you know, we can work it out but if you’re gonna be a bonehead, who wants to play with you? Call me crazy, but I don’t understand why you gotta be nasty about it.”

Co-host Joy Behar said the people of Martha’s Vineyard are taking care of the migrants rather than rejecting their arrival. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said while she disagrees with bussing or flying migrants to different locations, record number of migrants flooding through the border are overwhelming border communities. She argued it is equally inhumane to allow a record number of migrants into the country which lacks the resources to take care of them.

Co-host Sara Haines said DeSantis should have coordinated with Republican Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker in handling the migrant crisis by explaining that the state is overwhelmed. Goldberg countered that the issue is racial, claiming the U.S. does not have an issue with people coming through the Canadian border.

“We don’t have any problem when people come through the border from Canada,” Goldberg said. “We don’t have any problem when people overstay their time. Well, no, people have overstayed their visas all the time and I’ve noticed we don’t really — and I love Canadians, don’t get me wrong. My point is, because it’s been made into a brown people issue, it’s a problem because we have not been as, we don’t take care of the Haitians coming in.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
