What was said

"I am someone that believes in character. I am someone that believes that morals matter. But because of the state of this country, I would if I lived in Maine, I would hold my nose and I would vote for Platner."

The View co-host Sunny Hostin stated on air that despite believing in character and morals, she would vote for Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner even amid sexual abuse allegations and revelations about a Nazi tattoo. Hostin justified this by arguing Democrats need to prioritize winning power over moral considerations, explicitly saying Republicans can no longer ask Democrats to take the moral high ground.
