INGRATE FAMILY: Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin weigh in on Brittany Mahomes’ controversial support for Donald Trump, She’s liar, She doesn’t love her husband or her biracial children

In a fiery exchange on the set of The View, co-host Sunny Hostin took a bold stand, zeroing in on Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefsquarterback Patrick Mahomes, over her recent involvement in political controversy. While Brittany has made headlines in recent weeks for seemingly aligning herself with Donald Trump, the conversation on The View took an unexpected turn as Hostin shifted the spotlight onto Brittany’s interracial marriage.

The conversation began as the co-hosts dissected Brittany’s apparent social media activity, specifically her liking of posts that supported Trump’s 2024 campaign. What could have been a simple critique of her political affiliations quickly became much more personal, as Hostin introduced the complexity of Brittany’s marriage into the discussion. Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback, is biracial, with a Black father and a white mother. Hostin didn’t shy away from questioning how Brittany’s support for Trump could align with the values of her family.

Hostin’s comments sent waves through the audience, who were visibly taken aback. “It just seems ironic to me,”Hostin began, “that someone who is in an interracial marriage would back a candidate whose policies have historically been exclusionary and problematic for families like hers. I mean, her children are biracial – what message is she sending to them?”

The discussion soon spiraled, with Whoopi Goldberg joining in to further unpack the social and political implications. Goldberg brought attention to Brittany’s close friendship with pop sensation Taylor Swift, who has been politically outspoken in recent years. Goldberg wondered aloud if Brittany’s apparent support for Trump might be wavering under pressure from the Swiftie community. “Is she rethinking her stance because her best friend is speaking out? Or is it more than that?” Goldberg speculated.

The crux of the conversation, however, returned to the Mahomes family itself. Hostin expressed her disbelief that Brittany could overlook Trump’s controversial history with race. “This is someone who, in the ’70s, wouldn’t have allowed a family like theirs to even live in his buildings,” she said pointedly, referring to the long-standing accusations of racial discrimination that have dogged Trump’s real estate empire.

Patrick Mahomes, for his part, has stayed relatively quiet on the matter. When asked about his political beliefs in a recent interview, he sidestepped any endorsements. “I’ve always said that I don’t think it’s my place to use my platform to endorse any candidate. What I do want to do is encourage people to vote and make the best decision for their family,”Mahomes said diplomatically.

But as the conversation on The View raged on, it became clear that Brittany’s political leanings were under scrutiny not just for their alignment with Trump, but for what they signified about her understanding of the very racial dynamics within her own household. “It’s one thing to support a candidate,” Hostin concluded, “but when that candidate’s policies directly impact your family and community, you have to ask yourself where your priorities lie.”

Social media has since exploded with reactions, with many viewers divided on Hostin’s critique. While some praised her for bringing up an important issue about race and politics, others felt the conversation veered too far into Brittany’s personal life. Regardless of where one stands, it’s undeniable that the conversation on The View has stirred up debate across the internet.

With Patrick Mahomes staying neutral and Brittany Mahomes seemingly caught in the crossfire, the question now remains: how will this impact the high-profile couple as they navigate public opinion in the lead-up to the next presidential election? Only time will tell if Brittany’s political involvement continues to be a focal point of discussion or if, like her husband, she’ll opt for a more neutral stance in the future.
