Miami Dolphins star Raheem Mostert’s wife, Devon, has hit back at The View’s Sunny Hostin after Hostin labeled white women who voted for Donald Trump as “uneducated” during a recent broadcast. Hostin, an American journalist, lawyer, and long-time co-host of the popular daytime talk show, expressed her disappointment over Trump’s resounding victory over Kamala Harris in the recent presidential election, and her remarks have sparked backlash, especially from Devon Mostert.
On Thursday’s edition of The View, Hostin voiced her confusion about the large number of white women who cast their votes for the 78-year-old Trump, especially in light of his controversial role in overturning abortion protections in 2022.
Hostin delved into the voting demographics, praising Black and Latina women for their voting choices but singling out white women who supported Trump.
“I want to dig further into the demographics because Black women tried to save this country again last night — 92 percent of Black women voted for the vice president,” Hostin said on air. “You have Latinas in the 70th percentile voting for the vice president. What we did not have is white women, who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump — uneducated white women, is my understanding. So why do you think that uneducated white women voted against their reproductive health freedoms?”

Devon Mostert, wife of Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert, was among those who took offense to Hostin’s comments. The mother of three swiftly responded to Hostin via social media, calling her out for what she considered an unfair and racist characterization of white women who supported Trump.
“Uneducated white woman here,” Devon wrote sarcastically on her Instagram story, alongside a clip of Hostin’s comments. “Sunny, I GUARANTEE I can school you on any given political topic on any given day.” Her post drew attention from both sides of the political spectrum, sparking conversations about Hostin’s remarks and whether they crossed a line.
In a follow-up post, Devon continued to express her frustration. “Can you IMAGINE if the role was flipped here? If a white woman said this? There would be OUTRAGE. Racism goes allllll kinda ways. And ALL WAYS are disgusting and unacceptable,” she wrote, challenging the double standards that she feels exist in discussions about race and political views.
Devon Mostert has not shied away from sharing her political views on social media in recent months. She has previously criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her comments regarding Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his response to Hurricane Milton.
Devon also took the opportunity to praise Trump for his assistance in the wake of the disaster, sharing a post about how Trump housed 275 Florida workers at his Doral Miami resort free of charge during the hurricane relief efforts.
Hostin’s comments were also challenged on air by her co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, who took issue with the term “uneducated white women.” Griffin, a former communications director in the Trump administration, pushed back against Hostin’s choice of words, arguing that such labels were divisive and unhelpful.
“I don’t think white women like being called uneducated white women,” Griffin said. “When you put people in these boxes, I think that’s a takeaway from this race.” Griffin’s comments highlighted the need for more nuanced discussions about voter demographics and the dangers of stereotyping entire groups of people based on their voting choices.
In the aftermath of the election, Trump made headlines not only for his victory but also for his historic appointment of Susie Wiles as America’s first-ever female chief of staff. The 67-year-old Wiles, who managed Trump’s successful campaign, was named to the position on Thursday, making her the first woman to hold the chief of staff role in U.S. history.
Wiles’ appointment is noteworthy not only for her political acumen but also for her connections to the sports world. She is the daughter of the late Pat Summerall, a well-known NFL broadcaster and former player.
Summerall, who played as a kicker for the Detroit Lions, Chicago Cardinals, and New York Giants, went on to have a storied career in broadcasting, calling 16 Super Bowls on television and forming a legendary partnership with John Madden.
The Mosterts, like many others, are watching closely as Trump prepares to assume office once again.
While Devon Mostert’s comments have drawn both praise and criticism, they underscore the ongoing polarization of American politics and the intensity of emotions surrounding this election.
The debate between Hostin and Mostert serves as a reminder of the deep divides that persist, particularly when it comes to discussions of race, gender, and political affiliation.
