Hostin asked Habba, "Do you think Comey's post rises to the level of a criminal threat against the life of the president and supports an indictment?"

"I do," Habba responded. "After Comey's post - and this is where I go back to Saturday's events - the responsibility of certain individuals like us - we all have a very big voice. He is a former FBI director. He knows what 8647 meant. There's no question about it."

"Now, this is an FBI director," she continued. "We have responsibilities. You guys have responsibilities not to call the president certain things or say things that could incite violence. I most certainly think after Saturday, I have a completely new perspective on how important our voices are and how we use them."

Hostin and Behar raised rhetoric by Trump about Democrats, which Habba said she has not seen but that no one should be inciting violence.

"I sat through targeting, people saying, 'We're going to get Trump,' and then a Hillary Clinton-appointed judge sanctioned me for suing Hillary Clinton," she continued. "By the way, I'm proud of that. I'm proud of what I did because it was the right thing to do."
