"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin rejected being called a racist on social media during Monday's episode because she called out "racism" and said it was being "used as a political wedge issue."
During a discussion about Sen. Tommy Tuberville's, R-Ala., remarks at a Trump rally in Nevada, he said Democrats were "pro-crime" and that "they want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that."

Hostin also said people "call you a racist" as soon as the topic of reparations is discussed.
"People need to start just looking up what the definition of racism is. It’s really a power dynamic. It’s not just about the color of your skin, and I think when you talk about those who committed crimes that owe reparations, those are the people who committed the atrocities of slavery, who stole land, who killed indigenous people. Today is indigenous people’s day," Hostin said.
Hostin recently called former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley a "chameleon" for not going by her real name. Hostin, whose real name is Asunción, said Americans "can’t pronounce Asunción because of the under-education in our country."
She has also been criticized for going after Black Republicans and saying they were an "oxymoron."
"I feel like it's an oxymoron, a Black Republican," Hostin said, adding that she doesn't understand Latino or Black Republicans.
Ben Carson, the former Housing and Urban Development secretary, reacted to the Hostin's claim and told Fox News Digital in May that "the impudent behavior to tell others how they should think, feel, and live is a relic of Jim Crow and disgusting."
"Conservative ideals like faith, liberty, community, and life transcend race, sex, and religion. More Americans are coming to that realization and that is why the left is so scared," he continued.
