“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin revealed Monday she now “loves” Pope Leo XIV after discovering his “black” background.
Hostin had previously expressed concerns about the new pontiff on Friday after his comments referencing the “homosexual lifestyle” resurfaced. On Monday, she spoke more optimistically about Pope Leo after learning his maternal grandparents were described as “people of color” on documents, with his grandfather’s original birthplace listed as Haiti.
“There’s one other thing that’s very interesting to me because President Trump, as you remember, called Haiti a certain type of country,” Hostin said. “As it turns out, our new American pope has Haitian and black roots! So, we actually have a black pope, apparently. It’s a chef’s kiss for me.”
After Pope Leo was announced on Thursday, Hostin said she was “concerned” about the LGBTQ community based on a statement he made in 2012 as a bishop where he described how pop culture had fostered “sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel,” including the “homosexual lifestyle” and “alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.”
Hostin on Monday said she was more encouraged by Pope Leo based on comments from 2023 which she thought showed he had completely changed his position.
“He said, you know, he believes what Pope Francis believed is that a church is a church for everyone. The church is very inclusive. So, I’m liking this guy a lot! I’m loving the pope,” Hostin said.
Her co-hosts Ana Navarro and Whoopi Goldberg also praised Pope Leo after he gave a speech earlier that morning voicing support for imprisoned journalists.
“He said he stands in solidarity with journalists who are imprisoned for reporting the truth and urged them to avoid ideological or partisan language. I like that. I’m digging him,” Goldberg said.

So it’s all about race. Sunny’s a racist.
She gives airheads a bad name.
She’s using teh Jim Crow era “One Drop Rule”!!!!..................
After all the only thing that matters is race...to a racist.
When reading Pope Leo’s bio, I personally didn’t read about a grandfather from Haiti. I read that a grandmother had Creole heritage or something like that.
Creole can be any color or mix.................
Pope John Paul was one of the greatest. He prayed in the cell with the man that tried to kill him in St. Peters Square with several 9mm slugs. The Pope should have died he did not. Mehmet Ali Ağca converted to Christianity while in prison, he was not born into a Catholic family and did not convert to Catholicism. He converted to Christianity after his imprisonment. Specifically, he announced that he had left Islam and embraced a Christian faith.
The only thing that matters is the fact that he is part-black.
No racism there at all. /s. Unbelievable.
The only thing she and many like her have is race. What else? Talent? She’d never be where she is if she wasn’t a racist, expecting to be treated differently because of her skin color.
That is literally all they think about. And we allow them to wallow in their own shit, and we allow them to throw it at each other--and us, and we allow them to keep doing it. While others stand on the sidelines rubbing their hands in glee at the chaos they created because it keeps the heat off their misdeeds.
Maybe Sunny should go live in Haiti for a year as a Peace Corps volunteer. :)
With these despicable leftist scumbags it’s never not about race.
They’ve been trained to think about race first, last and with every thought in between
Everything else is secondary or doesn’t matter at all
Yeah, that’s not racist.
That Sunny. She’s such a Pagan! Worshipping imaginary style over actual substance.
That’s how ignorant and brainwashed they are.
Check into thine own ancestry, Sunny Honey. There's slaveholders in them there roots.
