“Here is Sunny Hostin of The View, who is a multi-millionaire, her son just graduated from Harvard, who is a Black man, but listen to the way she talks about this ruling,” Kelly fumed. “It’s incredible to watch this incredibly privileged group of rich bhes act like they’ve had dogs sicced on them at the ballot box.”
“These are what we call lies,” she continued.
“How about Joy [Behar], explicitly saying, ‘How about Clarence Thomas? Did he stand up for his people, for his race?'”

The former journalist and media commentator added, “You tell me what would happen if I was like, ‘I’m a lawyer, let’s say I made it to the Supreme Court. First things first, I stand up for my race. My first principle is that I stand up for the whites. I just want to make that clear. I’m here for the whites first. Everybody else is secondary to me.’”
Kelly continued, “They say this s**t like it’s a normal thing to say.”
“I just want to show you the reaction by the Black saxophonist who is on the stage with her as part of the band, and was rallied by her points about the Black vote and what’s going to happen, and her prediction of doom and gloom? He is asleep,” Kelly said, laughing, as a video of the event played.

(However, in the clip she showed, the band member, who is looking down at the stage while Harris speaks, shakes his head and moves his hand.)
Kelly’s remarks arrive at a time when conversations about voting rights, representation, and political messaging remain deeply polarized. She highlighted her broader concern, saying, “What they’re doing is so dangerous. Because if you make race the stakes of any conversation, like it’s OK to stand up for your people because you’re Black…”
“We’re living through the backlash to that right now, where, especially young white men in some pockets have been told this over and over and over, that it’s OK to divide us by race”
Kelly added, “That kind of talk is genuinely dangerous. It’s such b*t that they’re allowed to get away with it.”
