“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin praised Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio on Wednesday for his remarks on the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Rubio, along with some other prominent Republicans, pushed back against Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ argument that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a “territorial dispute.”

“It’s not a territorial dispute in the sense that any more than it would be a territorial dispute if the United States decided that it wanted to invade Canada or take over the Bahamas,” Rubio said on the Hugh Hewitt Show Tuesday.

Hostin commended the senator for his comparison during the “The View” panel’s discussion on DeSantis’ comments.

“I have to say, I never thought I would say this, Marco Rubio made a lot of sense,” Hostin said. “He said it would be like the U.S. just deciding to invade Canada, and that made it very crystal clear to me because I think geopolitics are difficult for people to grasp, especially if you haven’t studied it and I also think a lot of people don’t understand that we are a global economy that we really do work all around the world and we exchange products all around the world.”

Hostin said Rubio’s framing will help Americans understand the significance of the war in Ukraine. Co-host Joy Behar pushed back, arguing that Rubio is likely running in the 2024 presidential election and will say anything to get elected.

Co-host Sara Haines said the U.S. will be required to get involved in the war if Russia invades Poland, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Behar lamented DeSantis and the so-called “MAGA crowd” for saying more funding should be allocated to domestic issues rather than Ukraine.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said the they “want to believe” the U.S. can remain isolated from foreign affairs instead of aiding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The U.S. has committed approximately $34 billion in security assistance “to help Ukraine preserve its territorial integrity, secure its borders, and improve interoperability with NATO,” according to the Congressional Research Service.

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.
