Sunny Hostin Reaffirms 2021 Claim That U.S. Flags Make Her Feel Unsafe

Summary
On a July 14 podcast, Sunny Hostin said she still feels "unsafe" in neighborhoods with many American flags, repeating remarks she revived last week on "The View."
Hostin said the reaction is not to the flag itself but to what she called its co-option by the far right, arguing it has been "weaponized" and tied to White supremacy.
She pointed to Jan. 6 imagery of American and Confederate flags and recalled feeling nervous in North Carolina after seeing a Confederate flag near a beach house.
Hostin also backed efforts to "reclaim" the flag as a symbol of justice, freedom and equality, framing the dispute as part of a longer conversation in the Black community.
