ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel was involved in “attempting to suppress the black vote.” During a panel discussion about McDaniel being hired by NBC, Hostin said, “There were other sketchy things that happened, and she was a direct part of it. When journalism is shrinking especially and to pay a woman like that $300,000 is obscene. Let’s remember that she was the person involved in the 2020 phone call to pressure Michigan county officials to not certify the vote from the Detroit area in...

Three days after screaming at her fellow ABC co-hosts to shut up and get behind President Joe Biden because he’s “the candidate” for Democrats, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) was so disturbed by the special counsel’s report about Biden’s failing mental faculties that she hatched a plot to have Democrats ditch him at the convention and install California Governor Gavin Newsom in his place. Following two segments of discussion about the report and Biden’s embarrassing press conference about his mental acuity, Hostin announced “there is an off-ramp here” that they “need to think...

"The View" host Sunny Hostin was shocked to discover her family's hidden history in a new episode of the PBS documentary show, "Finding Your Roots." The documentary show researches prominent figures' family histories through historical records and DNA testing. On the February 6 episode, show host Henry Louis Gates Jr. revealed one of Hostin's ancestors on her maternal side was likely involved in the slave trade in colonial Spain. Her third great-grandfather also "owned at least one human being," he said.

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on “The View” that the United States is still “in the fight of our lives” to save the United States from “the scourge of racism.” Thursday on a CNN town hall, Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said, “When you look, all men are created equal. I think the intent was to do the right thing. Now, did they have to go fix it along the way? Yes, but I don’t think the intent was ever that we were going to be a racist country.” Hostin said, “What is...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Monday on “The View” that Republicans were “intentionally dumbing down our electorate” to remain in power. Hostin said, “What we’re seeing by the Republican Party, and I give it to them, we’re seeing a long game. We’re seeing that they are dismantling or attempting to dismantle institutions. All of a sudden, the most elite colleges and universities in the world, which, by the way, they all went to, everybody on the Supreme Court went there, Elise Stefanik went there, all the congresspeople went there, Ted Cruz went there. Those schools are not...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts on ABC’s “The View” Wednesday that the Republican presidential candidates lacked a moral compass. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “They only hope I have left is this, I know you guys don’t love Nikki Haley, she’s not perfect but she’s who I’m for right now is inching up on Trump in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. She’s second place in all those. She did get this big endorsement. I suspect she’s going to get more major endorsements coming. Anyone is better than Donald Trump. You guys, I think, could acknowledge even...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump will likely be the GOP presidential nominee because Americans didn’t know history. During an interview with Univision, when asked about criminal prosecutions, Trump said, “If they do this, and they’ve already done it, but if they want to follow through on this, yeah. I could, and it could certainly happen in reverse. Certainly happen in reverse. What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box. If I happen to be president and see somebody who’s doing well and beating...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that she was tired of questions about President Joe Biden’s fitness for office because the Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump ate cheeseburgers and threw spaghetti at the wall. Hostin said, “You know what kind of is still strange to me? Why is Kamala so dangerous? Right?” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked, “Why do you think she’s so dangerous?” Hostin said, “I don’t know, Whoopi. That’s kind of offensive to me, and the other thing is she’s unprepared. Kamala Harris by the way was the first woman elected D.A....

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that white female Republicans “fall in line” to “protect the patriarchy.” Hostin said, “I have a similar theory. it’s born out when you look at the studies, read books like a book that came out a long time ago about she owned property as well, meaning white women owned slaves as well. I think that women, white women in particular, want to protect this patriarchy here, because it’s to their benefit. They want to make sure their husbands do well. They want to make sure their sons...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) saying she felt threatened by Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) is a racist “dog whistle.” At a congressional press conference, Greene said, “What’s on video is Jamaal Bowman shouting at the top of his lungs, cursing, calling me a white supremacist, which I take great offense to. That’s like calling a person of color the n-word, which should never happen. Calling me a white supremacist is equal to that. That’s wrong. She added, “I think there’s a lot of concern about Jamaal...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that she was “ashamed” U.S. Marine veteran Daniel Penny allegedly killed Jordan Neely with a chokehold on the New York subway after Neely was screaming and acting erratically. Co-host Joy Behar said, “My understanding is, if you go past eight seconds of the chokehold, the person is dead. Now, this marine should have known that. But maybe he made a mistake. Maybe he went too long, and this poor kid died.”

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that she was “disgusted” by CNN giving former President Donald Trump a platform with an upcoming town hall. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “There’s a town hall coming up with you know who. I always thought town halls were meant for us to get to know a candidate, what they stand for. So what is the point of this new town hall that he’s doing? Did we learn nothing from Les Moonves saying bad for the country but great for the network?”

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that she believed Republican presidential candidate for Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) was “crass” for suggesting President Joe Biden wouldn’t survive a second term. On Fox News, Haley said, “He’s running again in 2024. I think that we can all be very clear and say as a matter of fact that you vote for Joe Biden you really are counting on a President Harris because the idea that he would make it to 86 years old is not something that I think is likely.” Co-host Joy Behar said,...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump will likely serve time in prison as a result of the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Hostin said, “What I am also kind of offended by is people are saying, ‘But they are only misdemeanors’. There are 34 of them and a year in prison is what a misdemeanor gets you.” She continued, “People are always complaining about crime in this city, especially petty larceny, like shoplifting, that’s a misdemeanor. We go after people for possession of controlled substances....

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that China imprisoning innocent Uyghur Muslims in internment camps is not as bad as the United States “putting a lot more black people in jail here.” While discussing a Wall Street Journal/NORC poll finding 38 percent consider patriotism “very important,” which is a 70 percent drop from 1998, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “If America is not the number one global power, it’s not going to be Denmark, it’s going to be communist China, a country that right now the government is imprisoning Uyghur Muslims in concentration...

The Democrats’ quest to demonize former President Donald Trump for having classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida was dealt a serious setback when it was disclosed this week that President Biden had stashes of classified documents–some of them marked “Top Secret”–in separate locations. One of the locations was the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, DC. This “think tank” was funded by a grant of $54 million from donors linked to the Chinese Communist Party. A second location was in a garage where he keeps his Corvette at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden...

Sony Hostin, a co-host of ABC’s The View, slammed former secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former President Trump and other Republicans who have critiqued President Biden’s recent prisoner swap deal with Russia. Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssah Farah Griffin noted that the Trump administration negotiated the release of 5,000 Taliban members in Afghan prisoners in 2020. “I think it’s just the sheer hypocrisy of it because I have, and I’ve said it here, always felt, umm, conflicted about negotiating with terrorists because I do think it will encourage a terrorist to grab other Americans,” Hostin said on the daytime talk...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Wednesday on “The View” that Republicans’ concerns about the number of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border were “political theater.” Hostin said, “It’s just a lot of political theater I see coming from the Republicans. They’re trying to reframe the conversation as to what is important to Americans, how abortion isn’t important to Americans. I don’t know. It was important at the voter booth for them, you know, it’s inflation, inflation, inflation, the price of gas is sky-high.” She continued, “You know, you see these Republicans going to the border and then taking...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Monday on “The View” that she thinks “Jesus would be the grand marshal at the Pride parade.” Hostin said, “I keep on wondering if you don’t want to go to a gay club because you don’t like gay people, don’t go to the club. Why do you got to shoot up the club? If you don’t want to be a person married to a gay person, then just don’t get married to a gay person.”

To hear ABC’s The View co-host Sunny Hostin tell it, she is the victim of Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson. According to Hostin, Carlson threatened her personal security by suggesting Hostin was hypocritical, given her push for gun control while inhabiting a 1920s Purchase, NY Tudor mansion. A review of Carlson’s broadcasts over the years showed that his only mention of Hostin’s home came during his March 21, 2021 program. Carlson mocked the outspoken Hostin, who claimed to feel like a “hostage” days earlier for exercising the Second Amendment.
