ABC's "The View" said Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart should face "consequences" after the 23-year-old introduced Donald Trump at a May 22 rally for Rep. Mike Lawler in New York's suburbs.
Dart's appearance was brief—about 30 seconds—and consisted mainly of "Go Big Blue" chants before he called it an honor to introduce the president.
Joy Behar called Dart's move "stupidity and racist," while Sara Haines said Americans can hold their own beliefs but argued a quarterback's political choice carries consequences inside an NFL locker room.
Sunny Hostin said supporting Trump makes a player either aligned with or complicit in views she says harm the Black community, extending the backlash beyond the rally itself.
