“The View” cohosts appeared to do damage control during Thursday’s broadcast‚ cleaning up after Vice President Kamala Harris — who had appeared on the show one day prior — claimed that she was “scared as heck” of the possibility that former President Donald Trump could win again in 2024. The cohosts were back on Thursday — in part defending Harris’ take and in part claiming that she was not actually “scared” of Trump — after multiple media outlets ran with clips of the vice president’s comments. Whoopi Goldberg led off‚ calling Trump-supporters “the snow-flakiest people” and saying that there was plenty to fear with regard to Trump — whose name she still will not say aloud — and the possibility that he could return to the Oval Office. Cohost Joy Behar followed right behind her‚ saying that Harris had not meant that she was “personally scared” of the former president‚ but that she was “scared for the country.” WATCH: Sunny Hostin says Kamala is right to be scared of Trump because he's going topple America:"There have been great nations that no longer exist because of someone like a Donald Trump."She also argues that Kamala's warning should have extra weight because she's a woman. pic.twitter.com/sC3It2wYGY — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 18‚ 2024 Cohost Sunny Hostin took a slightly different tack‚ saying that everyone should be scared of Trump taking office again. “There have been great nations that no longer exist because of someone like a Donald Trump‚” she claimed. Hostin went on to argue that Harris had proved during her Wednesday appearance — during which she repeatedly equated women not being able to access unlimited abortions in certain states with a total loss of democracy in the country as a whole — that she was “qualified” to be president.

I think it is brave to say you're afraid‚" – Whoopi pic.twitter.com/f3DN0isiNO — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 18‚ 2024 Goldberg doubled down to round out the conversation‚ saying that Harris’ willingness to admit that she was scared only proved how brave she was. “The thing I want to say about this‚ there’s nothing wrong with being afraid … There’s nothing shameful about being afraid. I think it is brave to say you’re afraid‚” she said.

A group of Asian parents filed a federal lawsuit this week claiming that New York’s state-funded STEM summer program is declining to accept their children in favor of black and Hispanic students. The parents sued New York’s Department of Education on Wednesday over the Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP)‚ claiming that black and Hispanic kids are accepted to the program regardless of their income while Asian and white kids must show proof of their low-income status. “In other words‚ the Hispanic child of a multi-millionaire is eligible to apply to STEP‚ while an Asian American child whose family earns just above the state’s low-income threshold is not‚ solely because of her race or ethnicity‚” the lawsuit alleges. The free program accepts about 11‚000 students in 7th grade and up every year for classes at 56 colleges and medical schools across the state‚ the New York Post reported. The program features “instruction‚ exam preparation‚ hands-on and research training‚ college admissions guidance and career-focused activities such as field trips and college visits.” The program’s website says it accepts “economically disadvantaged‚ or African American‚ Hispanic/Latino‚ Alaskan Native or American Indian” students. One of the suit’s plaintiffs is Yiatin Chu of the Asian Wave Alliance‚ who has previously fought against alleged anti-Asian bias in New York City schools. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “This is outright discrimination against Asian-American students pursuing the STEM field‚” Chu told the New York Post. “The program should be for all students or for low income students. The state is choosing which race is eligible.” The parents are represented by both the Pacific Legal Foundation and the Equal Protection Project. “New York shouldn’t determine who gets the opportunity to attend educational programs based on race‚” Pacific Legal Foundation attorney Erin Wilcox said. “Such race-based decision-making violates the Constitution’s equal protection guarantee and has been shot down at the U.S. Supreme Court numerous times.” Back in June‚ the Supreme Court ruled against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina’s affirmative action policies in a decision that had a profound effect on the admissions processes at universities across the country. The lawsuit claims New York’s STEP program has had the same race-based policy for nearly 40 years. Policies that resemble affirmative action have come under scrutiny since the Supreme Court’s decision. “There is no good form of racism‚ and the State of New York needs to stop this discrimination‚” said attorney William Jacobson‚ the Equal Protection Project’s founder and a Cornell University law professor.
