Viewers of the hit ABC show ‘The View’ have expressed concerns about the way its moderator Whoopi Goldberg speaks to fellow host Sunny Hostin.

Hostin, a fan favourite, is best known for using her platform on the show to speak out in defence of minorities and – in many ways- address issues “establishment Democrats” choose to steer away from.

The degree of disrespect whoopi shows to @sunny is simply unacceptable.
