‘The View’ cohost Sara Haines issues rare correction about her Iran comments

The view The Cohost Sara Haines struck social media to issue a rare correction and clarify the remarks it made Wednesday criticizing the freedoms granted to women and girls in Iran.

Haines shared his declaration in an Instagram history after a fiery discussion of the conflict between Israel and Iran between hosts during hot subjects, the opening segment of the ABC Daytime program.

“Yesterday, in the show, I talked about the treatment of girls and women in Iran and in relation to confusing the theocratic rule of Ayatollah in Iran with the control of the Taliban of Afghanistan,” she wrote. “To clarify: girls and women in Afghanistan are currently prohibited from frequenting school, while in Iran, women have access to education and constitute an important part of university students.”

In Wednesday’s show, most of the debate was between Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin hosts.

Griffin condemned Iran for his atrocities against his people, declaring: “Let us also remember, the Iranians literally throw homosexuals of the buildings. They do not adhere to fundamental human rights. ”

Goldberg challenged Griffin Glossing on the human rights violations in the United States.

“Let’s not do that,” she replied. “Because if we start with this, we are known in this country to link homosexuals to the car. I am sorry, they would continue to suspend blacks.”

Hatred, which had previously described Iran as “the main sponsor of terrorism in the world”, weighed to suggest why the rest of the panel was more concentrated on the fate of women in Iran: The view Hosts are also women.

“And they don’t go well there,” she said. “They do not manage well in Iran. They are not educated, they cannot have goods. ”

Although the conversation has evolved before Haines could finish its remarks, it returned to the subject later, adding: “They cannot get out of their houses.”

After the broadcast of the episode, hatred used her Instagram account to correct some of the information she had shared.

“When I was referring to education, I specifically spoke of access under authoritarian regimes-not the capacities or achievements of Iranian women,” she wrote. “I want to be clear: I did not imply that women in Iran are without instruction or making pejorative generalizations.”

Haines concluded his declaration by reiterating the concerns that pushed her to make her comments on the program: “I would not want to be a woman living under the current regimes of Iran or Afghanistan. Despite their differences, the two governments impose serious restrictions on the rights and freedoms of women.”

Hatred has become a permanent host on The view in 2016 but left two years later to cohoster GMA3The third hour of ABC Hello America. GMA3 arrested the production in 2020, after which hatred returned to The view.
