“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin expresses her displeasure with Darline Graham, the sister of late Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was sworn in to serve as his replacement through January 2027.

SUNNY HOSTIN: I don’t love it. I don’t love it. You know, she’ll be the first woman to be a U.S. senator in South Carolina in the history of the state. And I think that that’s just… It’s just fundamentally wrong that South Carolina… South Carolina just couldn’t elect a woman, and this is the only way that it was done. I think that experience does matter. And while she is a certified optician, and while she has done great work in that field, I-I don’t think that she should be representing the people of South Carolina in the U.S. Senate. I-I just don’t… JOY BEHAR: Isn’t this the very definition of a D.E.I.? HOSTIN: Correct. Correct. It’s everything that the Republican Party stands against. Everything. Everything. It’s D.E.I., nepotism, all these things thrown in together. And, you know, at this very same time, Pete Hegseth blocked more promotions for women, in particular for women of color to become admirals. And so this is happening… I-I feel like our government is fundamentally broken. And I just… I-I disagree. I disagree with this. BEHAR: I-I agree with you.
