And that scared me,\u201d Hostin said. She went on to say that to her, those flags sent a white supremacist message indicating that she did not belong.<\/p>\n<p>Hostin then pivoted to address the American flag specifically, saying that for her it took on the same meaning if there were a lot of flags in a non-military neighborhood or if it was not a traditional holiday where flags might be expected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I drive into a neighborhood and it\u2019s not July 4th and I\u2019m not in a predominantly military household neighborhood and there are flags, American flags, everywhere, alongside Trump flags, alongside flags with stars in a circle, I feel threatened,\u201d Hostin said. \u201cBecause the message is very clear. It\u2019s a message of white supremacy. It\u2019s a message of racism and it\u2019s a message of their country, not my country. And I don\u2019t understand why that would receive backlash.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunny Hostin said Wednesday that she felt \u201cthreatened\u201d when confronted by displays of flags supporting former President Donald Trump \u2014 and even by American flags when it was not July &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2279766,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-09-at-11.02.04-AM-e1623257992997.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"\u2018I Feel Threatened\u2019: Sunny Hostin Says She\u2019s \u2018Scared\u2019 By Trump Flags \u2014 And American Flags \u2018When It\u2019s Not July 4\u2019","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-558277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-09-at-11.02.04-AM-e1623257992997.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"\u2018I Feel Threatened\u2019: Sunny Hostin Says She\u2019s \u2018Scared\u2019 By Trump Flags \u2014 And American Flags \u2018When It\u2019s Not July 4\u2019","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558277\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2279766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
