Sunny Hostin suggests she'd want to hit Ron DeSantis for telling teenagers to take off their masks.
As part of what one watchdog called a "meltdown" in liberal media, "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin seeemed to suggest Thursday that she would have hit Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, R., if he had spoken to one of her children the way he addressed teens at a University of South Florida event this week.
"You do not have to wear those masks," DeSantis told masked high school students Wednesday as he walked up to a podium at the University of South Florida. "Please take them off. Honestly, it's not doing anything. We've gotta stop with this COVID theater. So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous."
