'The View' Panel Praises Buttigieg For Admitting He Has White Privilege

The ladies of The View praised South Bend Mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg for admitting he has white privilege during an appearance on The Daily Show.  Co-host Joy Behar praised Buttigieg for merely "acknowledging" his white privilege, describing his acknowledgment as a "huge step," and praising him for having the "self-awareness that you're privileged just because of the color of your skin." Co-host Abby Huntsman, a self-described "big fan of Mayor Pete," argued that he "handled that question really well." Huntsman went on to describe herself as privileged because she is a white woman "born into a family of privilege," although she stressed that she was "not going to apologize for...being born into the family that I was."
