"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin returned from summer break Tuesday by floating the 25th Amendment against President Trump, a demand the show's hosts have now recycled at least three times in under a year.

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin dismissed the idea on the spot, and the Republican National Committee fired back within hours, Fox News Digital reported .
