Sunny Hostin, co-host of ABC's "The View," boasted that she "was the holdout juror in the 1991 trial of Daniel Rakowitz, the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park. The other eleven jurors wanted to convict him. He killed Monika Beerle, cut her up into pieces, made a soup that he ate and also fed to the homeless. I convinced the rest of the jury that his act of charity toward the homeless showed he wasn't really a bad person. We all then agreed that he should be found not guilty by reason of insanity." The problem with Hostin's boast is that...

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin sensationally claimed on-air that she was the lone holdout juror who forced a notorious NYC cannibal killer to be found not guilty by reason of insanity — but multiple sources from the time directly refute her story, The Post can reveal. “Several jurors questioned afterwards said one holdout juror was principally responsible for preventing them from returning a guilty verdict,” Hostin read aloud from a New York Times article from the 1991 trial on Tuesday. “That was me,” she asserted. SNIP But 35 years ago, jurors told The Post, Newsday, the Daily News and the...

Over their hiatus, it was announced that The View co-host Sunny Hostin has sold her likeness and the rights to smut books to be produced into a series of movies by a film company that utilizes A.I. On Friday’s episode, the ABC News co-host defended her actions by claiming Hollywood was “gatekeeping” her because they were racist, and suggested that black and brown people were not being hired for projects. However, her co-hosts pointed out the hypocrisy that by using fake people in her adaptations, she was keeping those same black and brown people from getting work. “I've written a...

Tuesday was episode one of Season 30 for ABC’s The View, and the purported “bona fide news program” came in scorching during their first Hot Topics segment; demanding everyone get out and vote against President Trump in the midterms “because our lives literally depend on this.” While they were claiming everyone would “literally” die without Democratic Party intervention, they also were calling for the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office. Starting with the most incendiary comment, it was moderator Whoopi Goldberg who suggested “literally” everyone was going to die if people didn’t vote for “change”...

Next stop for Karoline Leavitt after leaving the White House? Pulling up a chair next to the ladies who co-host ABC’s The View. On Thursday, the Daily Mail reported Leavitt was “in secret talks to join” The View, but CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter swiftly shot down the “implication” of the Mail’s headline as “false.” Leavitt was not going to officially join the show as a co-host, wrote Stelter, but simply had been invited to make a one-time appearance as a guest. Stelter called having Leavitt on The View a “no-braining booking move,” as the show “frequently tries to...

The View co-host Sunny Hostin tried to talk cops out of arresting her son by repeatedly name-dropping her show and legal background, newly released bodycam footage shows. Hostin, 57, pleaded with cops not to issue her Harvard-educated son Gabriel, 24, a trespassing citation after he was stopped by officers for walking along train tracks last month. The TV star showed up to the scene to save her son on the Metro-North Railroad tracks in Westchester County, New York, and wasted no time telling the officers who she was.

The View” co-host Ana Navarro praised Hunter Biden as “riveting” and “the biggest troll” Thursday on the ABC show’s “Behind the Table” podcast while previewing their 90-minute interview and arguing that scrutiny of his Burisma income paled beside the Trump family’s earnings during President Donald Trump’s second term. “The monetization of the presidency, the fact that Hunter got dragged through the coals and brought into a congressional hearing by Republicans for the money that he was making in Burisma, which is not even chump change in comparison to the billions of dollars that the Trump family has made off the...

During the heated exchange, Behar insisted she was simply focused on “winning” in what she called an “emergency” situation under President Donald Trump. There is something hilarious about women who spent years demonizing white men suddenly treating them as saviors and their only path to victory. Behar began by floating a list of white male candidates she believes could actually win, naming Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. She framed the suggestion as cold political reality, telling her co-hosts they needed to face facts after watching the country...

ABC’s The View celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by literally laughing at the idea that white people could be discriminated against in any way. While they were laughing at the notion and suggesting it wasn’t real, staunchly racist co-host Sunny Hostin defended the idea of discriminating against whites and claimed that President Trump was trying to “erase” black history. Additionally, moderator Whoopi Goldberg openly mocked the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for caring about discrimination against white people.

Sunny Hostin has long been a prominent voice on issues involving sexual misconduct allegations and the treatment of accusers. In October 2018, while discussing the confirmation battle over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Hostin drew criticism after arguing that "a woman's word is enough," a statement opponents said conflicted with traditional due process principles. The comment in essence says that accusations alone should carry decisive weight when evaluating misconduct claims. (Kristine Marsh, "ABC Legal Analyst Sunny Hostin Argues Against Due Process: 'A Woman's Word is Enough!'", MRC NewsBusters, October 11, 2018. [https://archive.is/kn2OU]) Eight years later, that same Hostin has...

NEW YORK, NY — According to sources, Vice President JD Vance stumbled upon an incredible discovery on Tuesday when he made contact with a tribe of illiterate, feral women. The all-female tribe was discovered in a television studio where anthropologists believe they ate garbage and pretended to put on a show for their pantheon of primitive gods. Their clothing was allegedly a mixture of rags and what appeared to be remnants of the JC Penney Spring Collection. Vance took copious notes while in their presence, hoping to get his findings to a local university so the tribe could be further...

Benny Johnson@bennyjohnson JD Vance Just EVISCERATED The Hosts of The View over their false claims about Donald Trump and Epstein LIVE On-Air:"One of the things you see in the Epstein emails is the Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump. Donald Trump literally reported Epstein to the police.""He threw Epstein out of his club when he found out he was a creep and reported him to the police. That's something the media often misses when it reports the story. They say they knew each other in the 80s... they ignore the fact he narc'ed on him to the police, which ultimately let...

Vice President J.D. Vance went on The View Tuesday morning in the vain hope of talking about his new faith-focused book, Communion. Instead, he found himself locked in a debate with a group of ladies who subjected the VP to a show trial.Vance was questioned on topics including immigration and deportation, President Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the release of the files.
