The View’s Sunny Hostin Calls Out Nikki Haley For Going By Her Legal Middle Name

I really hate The View. These ladies are vile racists and they have a national television show to spread their vitriol. It’s ridiculous. And today, race-baiter Sunny Hostin took aim at Nikki Haley in a discussion about possible 2024 presidential candidates. Alyssa Farah Griffin, the token RINO on the show, mentions a few female names who might throw their hat in the ring, and Nikki Haley was among them. Hostin jumps in with, “What’s her real name again?” Which is condescending and diminutive because Nikki IS her real name, just not her FIRST name. That was an intentional jab meant to remind everyone that Nikki goes by a name that some people don’t think is sufficiently ethnic for her Indian heritage. Then Hostin goes on to say something about how it would be better if Nikki “leaned into” her “Indian” name rather than going by Nikki. The obvious implication being that Nikki chose not to go by her first given Indian name because she’s trying to make herself seem more white in order to appeal to more white voters. Again, condescending, diminutive, and racist.

Y’all, Nikki IS her name! It is part of her given Indian name and it’s on her birth certificate. Haley herself has addressed the issue multiple times, like back in 2018 when she explained that “Nikki is my name on my birth certificate. I married a Haley. I was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa and married Michael Haley.”

She responded directly to Sunny Hostin and the best part is when she calls Sunny out for using a stage name. Hilariously, “Sunny” isn’t the only stage name being used at that table. *cough* Whoopi Goldberg *cough*

But while we’re taking aim at people who go by a certain name in order to appeal to a certain demographic (which is what Sunny thinks Nikki has done), I’m curious whether she’s ever attacked Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke with similar accusations? Or is it just Republicans who aren’t allowed to go by another name unless Sunny Hostin approves?
