Devon Mostert, the wife of Miami Dolphins star Raheem Mostert, is making waves with a powerful response to *The View* co-host Sunny Hostin’s derogatory remarks about female Trump supporters. After Hostin’s disparaging comments aimed at “uneducated white women” for supporting former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, Mostert took to social media to set the record straight and push back against the elitist attitude displayed by the talk show host.
The controversy began when Hostin, on a November 6 broadcast of *The View*, claimed that Trump’s victory had less to do with policy and more to do with a “referendum on cultural resentment.” She further insulted Trump-supporting women by labeling them “uneducated white women,” implying they lacked the intelligence to make an informed voting decision. Hostin also argued that “black women tried to save this country again,” in reference to their pivotal role in supporting Joe Biden, while lamenting that white women made up 52 percent of Trump’s support.
Hostin’s remarks were an example of the kind of condescending rhetoric that has become all too common among some left-wing commentators. Rather than engaging with the reasons why many women, including white women and Latino men, supported Trump, Hostin chose to belittle them based on their race and perceived lack of education. Her comments echoed the increasingly divisive rhetoric often used to explain away any support for Trump, portraying his voters as somehow less informed or out of touch.
Devon Mostert, however, wasn’t having any of it. In an Instagram story, she clapped back at Hostin, unapologetically declaring herself an “uneducated white woman” and challenging Hostin’s assumption. “Sunny, I GUARANTEE I can school you on any given political topic on any given day,” Mostert wrote, making it clear that the label of “uneducated” didn’t apply to her or many other women who supported Trump. She also pointed out the blatant double standard when it comes to discussions about race and politics, emphasizing that if the roles were reversed, there would be an outcry.
Mostert, who is married to Raheem Mostert, an African American NFL player, also took the opportunity to address the broader issue of racism. She pointed out that she has personally faced “racial comments” due to her interracial marriage, calling out the hypocrisy of those who decry racism while simultaneously making divisive and discriminatory remarks. “Racism goes all kinds of ways,” she asserted. “And ALL WAYS are disgusting and unacceptable.” She concluded with a call for unity, urging people to “do better” and work toward a less divisive world.
Mostert’s response has resonated with many, particularly those frustrated with the mainstream media’s tendency to label Trump voters as ignorant or uninformed. Hostin’s comments were a stark reminder of the elitist attitude often displayed by left-wing pundits, who believe they have a monopoly on moral superiority. However, the facts tell a different story.
Despite the expectation that Trump would lose ground with women voters, particularly over the issue of abortion, the results were more complex. While Joe Biden did win the female vote by a margin of about 10 points in 2020, Trump made significant inroads, especially among white women. In 2024, Trump won 45 percent of the female vote, matching his 2020 performance, and surpassing his 2016 showing when he secured just 41 percent. Among white women, 52 percent supported Trump, and he even won over one in three Hispanic women. Married women, too, leaned toward Trump, disproving the narrative that women were overwhelmingly turning away from the GOP.
Devon Mostert’s comments provide a powerful reminder that the American electorate is more nuanced than the left would like to admit. Women, regardless of race, are not a monolith, and their reasons for supporting Trump are far more complex than the condescending rhetoric from *The View* suggests. As the 2024 election cycle heats up, it’s clear that conservative women, particularly those who are tired of being condescended to, will continue to play a crucial role in shaping the future of American politics.
