‘It’s On The Border!’: Alyssa Farah Griffin Hits Back At Sunny Hostin Accusing Latinos Of ‘Misogyny’ For Backing Trump

"The View" co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin

“The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin rejected her fellow co-host Sunny Hostin’s claim Thursday that Latinos voted against Vice President Kamala Harris due to “misogyny.”

Griffin argued that President-elect Donald Trump won Tuesday’s election due to voters caring deeply about “pocketbook issues,” while noting that a historic percentage of Hispanic voters supported Trump due to the border crisis. Hostin insisted that Hispanic men voted against Harris because she is a woman, earning pushback from Griffin.

“We talk a lot about these different demographics and these assumptions of where they’re going to go. Latinos in Texas, a district that is 97% Latino, went 75 percentage points for Donald Trump,” Griffin said before Hostin answered “misogyny.” “No, it’s on the border! The border crisis is on their doorstep, and they are begging people to care about it for years.”

“Misogyny and sexism, that’s what that was,” Hostin added.

Trump became the first Republican nominee to win Hispanic men in a presidential election, earning 55% of support among that voter block in an NBC News exit poll. Harris underperformed among all Hispanics by only receiving 52% of support in exit polls, while President Joe Biden garnered 61% in 2020 and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton earned 66% in 2016, according to Politico.

The president-elect made history by winning over 57% of the vote in Starr County, Texas, a border county with a 97% Hispanic population. The overwhelmingly blue bastion flipped red for the first time since 1892.

As the president-elect gained ground among this demographic in the swing states, Harris underperformed with Hispanics in every swing state with the exception of Wisconsin, according to NBC News. Trump’s support among Hispanics in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania jumped from 27% in 2020 to 42% in 2024, exit polls found.

Roughly 4 in 10 Hispanic voters named the economy as their top issue, while 7 in 10 of the voter bloc rated the current state of the economy as either “not so good” or “poor,” according to an exit poll by Edison Research.
