“Producers haven’t told her to tone it down yet because they know it will get people talking.”

The insider added that Hostin did not push the boundaries with her comment and will not be asked to tone it down.

“A Trump presidency is worth its weight in gold for shows like this,” the insider noted. ‘People are excited. Sunny should really cross the line and be fired, suspended or asked to tone it down.”

Insiders have confirmed there are no plans to reprimand Hostin because ‘this is exactly what the show wants when it comes to controversy’

One viewer expressed his outrage on Reddit, angrily saying: ‘A huge blunder to bring education level into the conversation. There’s no good way to change someone’s mind after you call them stupid.”

Another commented: ‘She might as well have called the women she mentioned mouth breathers or window lickers.’

“I’m a liberal and would never vote for Trump, but her comment stopped me in my tracks. It just didn’t sound right at all,” a third person wrote.

While another commented: ‘It’s a weird thing to say. Especially on a daytime TV show. She offends part of the viewer base by saying that. Common sense.’

A second source noted that while Hostin was challenged on her claim by colleague Alyssa Farah Griffin, she will not be stopped from speaking out.

“She’s been accused of being racist, but the other ladies on the panel know she’s not.”

Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration official, pointed out that Harris won Latino voters by just six points, despite Joe Biden winning the group by 33 points in 2020 and Hillary Clinton by 38 points in 2016.

“Finally, we talk a lot about these different demographics and assumptions about where they’re going,” Farah Griffin said, noting that a Texas district with a 97 percent Latino population “went for Donald Trump by 75 percentage points.”

‘Why?’ she asked, before Hostin interrupted her cohost and said “misogyny.”

Farah Griffin, 35, became enraged and threw her hands in the air at Hostin’s comment, insisting that liberals should “learn lessons” from Trump’s resounding victory.

The source added that Hostin’s long-standing relationship with ABC – as well as her legal background – means the star would never really cross unforgivable lines.

“She’s been on the show for eight years and she’s not going anywhere,” they said. “She has a long history with ABC and is considered one of their greatest assets.

“Actually, I want to correct something I asked you earlier… I said ‘uneducated white women,'” she said. “The polls said they were ‘non-college-educated white women.'”

The decision to back Hostin came just weeks after Joy Behar was called out by bosses for ‘crossing the line’ when she revealed Sara Haines’ secret lesbian romance live on air.

The somewhat controversial presenter, 82, spoke about the brief gay affair Haines, 47, had at university while her parents sat in the audience.

Behar interrupted cohost Whoopi Goldberg, 68, to ask if Haines would discuss the romance with her parents during their upcoming appearance on the program’s Behind the Table podcast.

She was criticized by her cohosts for “embarrassing” Haines and was stopped by bosses who told her the comment was “not okay.”

“Joy was praised by her cohosts and higher-ups for her on-air commentary about Sara Haines’ lesbian romance,” an insider told DailyMail.com. “She crossed the line when it came to relaying something she was told off-air.”
