《观点》节目联合主持人桑尼·霍斯汀周一在一场活动中重提了她2024年向时任副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯提出的、引发广泛讨论的问题，称这位前民主党总统提名人的回答以及当时拒绝与前总统乔·拜登划清界限的做法“很有问题”。该脱口秀节目的执行制片人、以及其“幕后桌面”播客主持人布莱恩·泰塔将这一时刻选为霍斯汀在节目中最令人难忘的时刻。他说，这是2024年大选周期中的一个“里程碑式时刻”。
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin revisited her widely-discussed 2024 question to former Vice President Kamala Harris during an event on Monday, calling the former Democratic presidential nominee's answer and refusal to distance herself from former President Joe Biden at the time "problematic." Brian Teta, the talk show's executive producer and host of its "Behind the Table" podcast, selected the moment as Hostin's most memorable on the show. He said it was a "seminal moment" in the 2024 election cycle.
霍斯汀将这个问题描述为一份“礼物”，并表示她原以为哈里斯会因为拜登当时的支持率而不得不与他保持距离。她还称《观点》是提问的完美场所，称这档自由派节目的观众是哈里斯的“自己人”。“我其实以为回答会是，‘我们在这届政府取得了许多胜利。我参与了那些胜利，但我作为一位有色人种女性、移民后裔，拥有不同的生活经历，我打算把这种生活经历带进白宫。我将做这件事、那件事、这件事、那件事、那件事。’这才是我预期的。我绝没料到会是‘没有一件事浮现在脑海中’。说实话，她一说出口，我就知道这真的很有问题，”霍斯汀说。
Hostin described the question as a "gift" and said she thought Harris would have to distance herself from Biden because of his approval ratings at the time. She also said "The View" was the perfect venue to ask the question, calling the liberal show's audience "her people." "I actually thought the answer was going to be, you know, ‘We had a lot of wins in this administration. I was there for those wins, but I, as a woman of color, as a child of immigrants, as I have a different lived experience, and I intend to bring that lived experience with me into the White House. I will do this. I will do that. I will do this. I will do that. I will do that.’That was what I was expecting. I was not expecting, 'Not a single thing comes to mind.' And I knew honestly when she said it that it was really problematic," Hostin said.
联合主持人们指出，这一时刻在2024年大选后出版的书籍中被讨论过，包括哈里斯的回忆录《107天》，也出现在了唐纳德·特朗普总统的一则竞选广告中。
The co-hosts noted that the moment was discussed in books published after the 2024 election, including Harris' memoir, "107 Days," and was also featured in a political ad for President Donald Trump.
在《107天》中，哈里斯写道，她完全不知道自己刚刚“拔掉了一颗手榴弹的拉环”，指的就是她对霍斯汀提问的回答。她写道，她的幕僚们当时惊慌失措。
In "107 Days," Harris wrote that she had no idea she had just "pulled the pin on a hand grenade," with her answer to Hostin's question. She wrote that her staff was beside themselves.
我的工作人员分散在演播室各处，个个惊慌失措。政客的直觉能敏锐捕捉关键时刻，我真恨不得踢自己一脚，竟把这么个时刻拱手让给了对手。广告间隙，我正和几个显然在逃课的年轻观众开玩笑，主动提出节目结束后帮他们写请假条给老师，这时奥帕尔·瓦德汉递给我一张团队的纸条，让我回到那个问题上，并提到一个重大区别：我会在内阁中安排一名共和党人。她在书中写道。
"Stationed at various places around the set, my staff were beside themselves. Political operatives have an eye to see a moment, and I could kick myself for giving the other side that moment. During the commercial break, while I was having a bit of fun with some young students I’d noticed in the audience who were obviously playing hooky, offering to write notes to their teachers after the show, Opal [Vadhan] passed me a note from our team, telling me to return to that question and mention that a big difference would be that I would put a Republican in my cabinet," she wrote in her book.
泰塔和几位联合主持人表示，她们当时都意识到她的回答会惹麻烦。
Teta and the co-hosts said they all knew her response was going to be a problem.
联合主持人安娜·纳瓦罗说，哈里斯的工作人员“跑”了过去，因为工作人员立刻意识到哈里斯需要回到那个问题上，对自己的回答作出回应。
Co-host Ana Navarro said Harris' staff "ran" because staff members knew immediately that Harris needed to return to the question and address her answer.
周五的节目中，纳瓦罗和海恩斯都表示不会劝阻哈里斯参选，但质疑她是否是民主党的最佳人选。
During the show on Friday, both Navarro and Haines said they wouldn't tell Harris not to run, but questioned if she would be the best option for the Democratic Party.
“如果民主党想赢，我认为她不是合适的候选人，因为我认为民主党一直在呼吁新鲜血液。她们一直在说我们需要新面孔来应对。这将是她第三次出现在选票上。第一次参选时她……非常早就退出了，然后是与拜登搭档，这将是第三次。选民渴望新鲜活力，而且有很多潜在候选人。”海恩斯说。
"If the Democrats want to win, I don't think she's the right candidate because I think the Democrats have been screaming for new energy. They've been saying we need something new to combat this. This would be her third time on this ballot. From the first time when she didn't ... she was out really early when she ran, and then the time with Biden, this would be the third time. People are clamoring for fresh energy, and there's a lot of candidates," Haines said.
联合主持人乔伊·贝哈多次表示，她不认为美国会选出女总统，并援引哈里斯和前国务卿希拉里·克林顿败给特朗普为例。她曾说，如果民主党想在2028年获胜，总统候选人应该是男性。
Co-host Joy Behar has said on several occasions that she doesn't think the U.S. would elect a woman as president, citing Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's losses to Trump. She has said the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee should be a man if the party wants to win.
霍斯汀在4月的一期《观点》节目中质疑总统职位是否适合哈里斯，并表示希望哈里斯能竞选加利福尼亚州州长。
Hostin questioned whether president would be the right position for Harris during an April episode of "The View" and said she wished Harris had pursued a run for California governor.
“这直接触及了媒体研究中心数月来向联邦通信委员会（FCC）提出的核心论点。《观点》节目明知故犯地充当民主党及民主党候选人的宣传机器，”新闻破坏者（NewsBusters）副编辑尼古拉斯·丰达卡罗在给福克斯新闻数字版的声明中说。“桑尼公开承认，她提问的意图是帮助卡马拉应对一个她认为属于‘轻松得分’、会带来‘漂亮回答’的问题。这一事件是对美国广播公司（ABC）享有的公共广播频谱特权的滥用。”
"This goes right to the heart of what the Media Research Center has been arguing to the FCC about for months now. The View knowingly operates as a propaganda arm for the Democratic Party and for Democratic candidates," NewsBusters associate editor Nicholas Fondacaro told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Sunny openly admitted that her intention with the question was to help Kamala with what she felt was a layup question that would lead to a slam-dunk answer. This incident was an abuse of ABC's privileged access to the public broadcast spectrum."
