'The View' co-host and attorney Sunny Hostin, arguing against due process, said on Thursday's show that "a woman's word is enough" and that she has taken cases to trial based on a woman's testimony and no witnesses. She said you don't need a witness, all you need is "someone's truth."
Hostin celebrated the progression of how the law treats sexual assault: "We finally said a woman's word is enough."
"I've taken many cases to trial with just a woman's word," Hostin said to applause. "And now you have the First Lady of the United States telling women everywhere your word is not enough. I think it does so much damage, and quite frankly, that isn't the law."
"You don't need a witness. You don't need forensic evidence. You need someone's truth, and we heard Dr. Ford's truth," Hostin celebrated.
HOSTIN, 'THE VIEW' CO-HOST: We finally said a woman's word is enough. I've taken many cases to trial with just a woman's word. [ Applause ] And now you have the First Lady of the United States telling women everywhere your word is not enough. I think it does so much damage, and quite frankly, that isn't the law...
Testimony is evidence! You don't need corroborating evidence. You don't need a rape kit. You don't need witnesses because oftentimes, guess what? There are no witnesses during rape! When you're talking about evidence, testimonial evidence is the very best in the system! ...
And the law is very clear that testimonial evidence, a woman standing there taking an oath and saying this happened to me is enough. You don't need a witness. You don't need forensic evidence. You need someone's truth, and we heard Dr. Ford's truth.

I say any man who has ever had a woman touch his arm or pat on the back or any other uninvited physical contact in the work place or any social gathering should file a sexual harassment or assault lawsuit. Let's get this gender war going! That includes the LGBTQxyz types. I'm sick of this crap.
I REALLY hate postmodernism.
Women who sincerely...I mean SINCERELY...believe this, scare the hell out of me.
And everyone who said, what about all the women making accusations...and some not making accusations because they drowned...against men on the Left are correct and should be brought up EVERY TIME THIS SILLINESS IS ANNOUNCED.
Devious women really DO exist, morons.
So, following this squathead’s logic we can say with a certainty that ALL of the black men who have been jailed or hanged on the word of a woman WERE guilty of their crimes.
Is that what this halfwit is saying?
Of course, just saying we should keep the facts out front - post them on all social media - in order to counter their mantra of “we should believe all women” baloney.
Facts won’t change their minds, but we have the truth on our side that they aren’t serious about taking a “woman’s word” as enough to find a man guilty.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again . . . Sunny Hostin is the dumbest woman on television.
If we are to apply this standard to law, then we will become the Soviet Union. Most Americans have no idea what Hell that was because our schools do not teach the Cold War or the horrors of Communism.
twat?
She may have taken them to court without corroberating evidence, but how many did she win?
“Someone’s truth” the key words.
Hostin- How about you step up to the plate & lead the prosecution against Bill Clinton for Juanita Broderick & Paula Jones?
IF you re NOT willing to do that, then please STFU.
My guess is that the cases this shylock took to court ‘solely’ on the word of the female victim were shored up with some manner of other forensic and/or DNA evidence.
He-said/She-said is still NOT enough in the US court system to determine proof beyond a reasonable doubt, or even by a preponderance of the evidence.
And, the View should be pulled from the broadcast airwaves.
That wasn’t meant as a joke, and i don’t see women shelling out billions a year for prostitutes instead of fighting for their rights.
Well, it was a poor version of the obvious, old one, and I don’t see either one.
Men are never really fighting women, just the other men that are playing them.
Apparently, just like Roman Polanski, Michael Jackson, Harvey Weinstein, Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton.

Everyone knows what "thinking with the wrong head" means, so I don't see your problem with using the term, except that maybe because it's true?
and I dont see either one.
You don't see men spending billions on prostitution?
Men are never really fighting women
Is that another way of saying that fathers aren't defending their sons against the biased school system?
just the other men that are playing them.
It's the other men who are being played, and the rest of us are getting screwed by those men.
