Miami Dolphins star Raheem Mostert's wife Devon has blasted The View's Sunny Hostin for labeling white women who voted for Donald Trump as 'uneducated'.
Hostin, an American journalist and lawyer who has spent eight years as co-host of the popular talk show, was left devastated after Trump's resounding election victory over Kamala Harris earlier this week.
On Thursday's edition of the program, she expressed her confusion at the large number of white women who voted for the 78-year-old, who has drawn heavy criticism over his role in overturning laws that protected abortion rights in 2022.
'I want to dig further into the demographics because Black women tried to save this country again last night — 92 percent of Black women voted for the vice president,' Hostin said. 'You have Latinas in the 70th percentile voting for the vice president.
'What we did not have is white women, who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump — uneducated White women is my understanding.

This clip, in which Sunny Hostin blames “uneducated white women” for costing Harris a win, is just insulting.
A lot of Dems willfully refuse to accept that people are more complicated than their race & sex. It’s extremely entitled, and it makes us dumber. pic.twitter.com/qv1EW3p2tm
'So why do you think that uneducated White women voted against their reproductive health freedoms?'
After hearing her remark, Devon Mostert - who has three children with NFL running back Raheem - took to social media to hit out at Hostin and accuse her of racism.
'Uneducated white woman here,' the Dolphins WAG wrote alongside a clip of Hostin's comments on her Instagram story.
'Sunny, I GUARANTEE I can school you on any given political topic on any given day.'
She then added on another post: 'Can you IMAGINE if the role was flipped here? If a white woman said this? There would be OUTRAGE. Racism goes allllll kinda ways. And ALL WAYS are disgusting and unacceptable.'
Devon has regularly expressed her political views on the platform in recent months, taking aim at Democratic nominee Harris over her recent criticism of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the wake of Hurricane Milton.
She also added a pro-Trump post to her story which praised him for housing 275 Florida workers free of charge at his Doral Miami resort amid the hurricane.
Hostin was also challenged on her claim that 'uneducated' white women voted for Trump by The View colleague Alyssa Farah Griffin.

'I don’t think white women like being called uneducated white women,' Griffin said.
'When you people in these boxes, I think that's a takeaway from this race.'
After being re-elected as president on Wednesday morning, Trump made history the following day by appointing Susie Wiles as America's first ever female chief of staff.
Wiles was tapped to be part of his incoming administration and will be the first woman to hold the chief of staff role after managing his successful campaign.
The 67-year-old's hiring is also noteworthy due to her connection to the sports world, as her late father Pat Summerall was a well-known NFL broadcaster and ex-player.
The kicker, who played for the Lions, Cardinals and Giants, went on to call 16 Super Bowls on TV and formed a long-running partnership on air with John Madden.
