The women of ABCs The View have guessed Michelle Obamas shocking decision not to attend President-elect Donald Trump has to do with his alleged racism.
One of the shows five co-hosts, Sunny Hostin, 56, offered her take during the Friday broadcast as to why the former First Lady will skip the inauguration on Monday, suggesting the decision was due to Trumps alleged lack of diversity.
The 56-year-old television star suggested Michelle, 61, has opted out of the ceremony because she did not enjoy Trump’s 2017 inauguration, which distinctly had a lack of color.
What I will say is, she said that she did not enjoy Trump’s 2017 inauguration, because there was no diversity, there was no color on that stage, she said there was no reflection of what the broader sense of what America looks like and many people took pictures of her, and she just wasn’t in a good mood, Hostin said.
The famed co-host agreed with Michelles surprising decision, claiming she is so right prompting an eruption of applause from the studio audience.
Yes, Lord, she is so right, she is so right! Hostin started while the audience audibly clapped.
She gave us that, "When they go low, we must go high," and I think she’s changed her tune. I think when they go low, you have to meet that energy and perhaps go even lower [and] become small like an ant and go to the Earth’s crust, Hostin added.

During Fridays episode of the popular daytime show, one of the shows five co-hosts, Sunny Hostin (pictured), 56, offered her take on why the former First Lady will be skipping the 47th Presidents inauguration on Monday
The 56-year-old television star suggested Michelle Obama (pictured), 61, would be skipping the politically-charged event because she did not enjoy Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
Shockingly, the Friday broadcast saw all five hosts, Behar, Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin - who all have differing political opinions - agree with the former First Ladys unexpected announcement.
Griffin, 35, who previously worked for Trump, agreed that she had no problem with Michelle ditching.
I think as a spouse, she served her time, Griffin said. I don’t think that she’s obligated to be there.
Haines, 47, also chimed in and added that she does not mind the highly-educated Chicago-native not attending.
Their family has given so much to this country, [and] they have done so much, Haines said.
Let me say this about Michelle, I think Michelle Obama is living her best life, and I think she has learned to put herself first and put her mental health first, Navarro, 53, argued.
Navarro reminded viewers that Michelle already did her job when she was the outgoing first lady and played nice when Trump took office for the first time in January 2017.
The former first lady made headlines on Tuesday when her office announced that her husband- former President Barack Obama - will be attending the billionaire businessmans inauguration, but Michelle would not be present.

The representative did not elaborate on Michelle’s reasoning, but a source later told Page Six that she has always been very deliberate about where and how she shows up.
The news sparked divorce rumors between the star-studded couple, which Barack seemingly put out with a gushing tribute to the love of his life in honor of her 61st birthday on Friday.
Speculation erupted that the couple of more than 30 years was having marital problems after fans began to notice that Michelle has been mysteriously absent from her husbands side in recent weeks.
But the former President, 63, proved that theyre still going strong when he uploaded a sweet message to his wife for her birthday.
Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama, he wrote, alongside a snap that showed them holding hands while enjoying dinner.
You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace – and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on lifes adventures with you. Love you.
The image featured a smiling Barack in a gray button down top and black dress pants, as he sat across from Michelle, who donned a dark V-neck sweater dress and a patterned headpiece.
They lovingly grabbed each others hands as they faced the camera.
Michelle has since shared the post to her own account alongside a simple caption that read: Love you, honey!
