The View co-host Sunny Hostin is 'very uncomfortable' with Kanye West's Grammys performance ban

The View co-host Sunny Hostin says she's not a Kanye West "apologist," but she's still "uncomfortable" with not letting him perform at the Grammys.

On Monday, The View discussed the Grammys' decision to drop West from the performance line-up due to his "concerning online behavior." In recent weeks, the rapper has been attacking his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's boyfriend, Pete Davidson, and he was temporarily suspended from Instagram for hurling a racial slur at Grammys host Trevor Noah.
