Former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin warned on Tuesday that it could be risky for prosecutors to put former first lady <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/melania-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melania Trump</a> on the stand in her husband&#8217;s Manhattan hush-money trial.
Because the case centers on hush money allegedly paid by former President Donald Trump to ex-porn star Stormy Daniels to keep an alleged affair quiet, Hostin argued that the right response from Melania Trump could create reasonable doubt for the jury.

&#8220;I will say this. New York has this marital communications law, spousal privilege, and so he would have to waive that privilege for her to testify and I don&#8217;t think he would do that,&#8221; Hostin explained. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think he wants her to testify, I don&#8217;t think he wants to put her through that, I don&#8217;t think she wants to be put through that.&#8221;
&#8220;So I can&#8217;t imagine the prosecution would call her, because that is really a gamble,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Because if she says on the witness stand, you know, &#8216;He told me that the affair — was not true, and I believe him&#8217; &#8230; you&#8217;re going to have at least one juror on that jury saying, well, if she doesn&#8217;t care, why should I? And so I just think it&#8217;s such a big gamble, I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s going to waive his privilege to put her on the witness stand, and — I don&#8217;t think she&#8217;s going to testify.&#8221;

During the first two days of the trial, a handful of jurors were selected and Trump&#8217;s attorneys made <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-may-be-forced-to-miss-his-own-scotus-hearing-sons-graduation-due-to-hush-money-trial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">several requests</a> related to the trial schedule.

Former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin admitted that she was worried about the prospect of a Trump supporter being able to &#8220;sneak onto&#8221; the jury in the former president&#8217;s Manhattan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-all-the-trump-cases-stand-as-hush-money-trial-begins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hush-money trial</a> but shared no such concerns that Trump haters might do so.
Hostin made the comments during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View,&#8221; telling her co-hosts on the ABC midday talk show that she did not believe anyone who supported Donald Trump could be impartial when it came time to examine the evidence and deliver a verdict.

Hostin began by noting that the obvious difficulty in finding a jury for Trump&#8217;s case stemmed from the fact that everyone knew who he was, and most people had strong feelings about him one way or the other.
&#8220;They are never going to find someone who doesn&#8217;t know about the former twice-impeached loser president, right?&#8221; she began with her standard Trump insult and referred to the trial as her own personal &#8220;Super Bowl.&#8221;
&#8220;They&#8217;re never going to find that. But what I did find also interesting about my Super Bowl is that — ah — the legal teams will be checking the jurors&#8217; social media to see if they can assess the truthfulness and intention of what they said during voir dire, which is their questioning,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And I think that&#8217;s really really important because if you start liking Trump&#8217;s – and you follow Trump&#8217;s stuff on social media, are you going to — can you be impartial? I don&#8217;t really think so.&#8221;

Hostin went on to suggest that Trump supporters might lie to get themselves on the jury so that they could force a mistrial.
&#8220;You get one person that sneaks onto that jury with untoward feelings, that person can hang that jury,&#8221; she complained.
&#8220;How do you sneak onto a jury, you have to be called,&#8221; Joy Behar protested.
&#8220;You lie,&#8221; Hostin replied, suggesting that Trump supporters could potentially lie their way onto the Manhattan jury simply by claiming that they &#8220;hate&#8221; the former president. &#8220;You say, &#8216;I hate Trump, but I can be impartial.&#8217; And all of a sudden that&#8217;s the person who won&#8217;t vote to convict.&#8221;

Whoopi Goldberg claimed on Wednesday that Republicans were doing their best to &#8220;bring slavery back,&#8221; suggesting that the only safeguard to prevent such a move would be an activist court.
Goldberg made the comments during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show &#8220;The View,&#8221; where she complained that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arizona-supreme-court-upholds-1864-law-protecting-unborn-babies-from-abortion-in-nearly-all-cases" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona Supreme Court</a> was fighting to move things backward when it upheld an 1864 law — which predated Arizona&#8217;s statehood — banning most abortions.

&#8220;Take a look at the things that they&#8217;re rolling back,&#8221; Goldberg began. &#8220;Remember I said ages ago, you know, in their minds, they want to bring slavery back. They&#8217;re okay with it. Because, you see, things change. You know, one of the good things about the Supreme Court is you can fight to make sure you make stuff better. You don&#8217;t generally fight to make stuff worse.&#8221;
&#8220;And to me, if you&#8217;re okay rolling that back, when things were not even a state, when we had no say &#8230; so, how&#8217;s that gonna roll?&#8221; she continued, arguing that birth control was going to be the next thing that was outlawed.
Cohost Sunny Hostin weighed in next, blaming Justice Samuel Alito for writing the majority opinion that ultimately overturned the 1973 abortion case Roe v. Wade, claiming that because he cited laws that had been on the books since 1868, his decision must be suspect.
&#8220;He wrote a roadmap for the states so that they could look in their books and go back to the 1860s, even before Arizona was founded — in 1912 — and gave them the game book,&#8221; Hostin said.
Joy Behar then asserted that Alito — who was nominated by former President George W. Bush in 2005 — was appointed by former President Donald Trump, and Hostin agreed: &#8220;Yes, he was.&#8221;

Co-hosts on ABC News&#8217; &#8220;The View&#8221; were forced to correct leftist Sunny Hostin this week after she falsely claimed that climate change caused the solar eclipse on Monday and an earthquake on the East Coast last week.
Hostin made the remarks after co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin claimed that the epicenter for the earthquake was Bedminster, New Jersey, where former President Donald Trump has a golf club.
&#8220;I know, right? I have to say, one of our wonderful makeup artists…when the earthquake was happening, she put her coat on and she was, like, Jesus is coming. I’m out. I’m leaving. We got a solar eclipse. We’ve got an earthquake. She ran down the hallway,&#8221; Hostin said in mocking Christians. &#8220;The Rapture is here.&#8221;
&#8220;Also, I learned that the cicadas are coming. For the first time in a hundred years,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;This is for the first time in many, many years.&#8221;
A few moments later, Hostin said: &#8220;All those things together, would maybe lead one to believe that either climate change exists, or something is really going on.&#8221;
It was at that point that leftist co-host Joy Behar interjected: &#8220;Earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change. It’s underground.&#8221;
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who is also a leftist, added: &#8220;The eclipse, and they’ve known about the eclipse coming because eclipses happen and they actually can say when these things are going to happen.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin attempted to rewrite history during a live television segment, claiming repeatedly that it was always Republicans, not Democrats, who &#8220;stacked&#8221; the Supreme Court.
The conversation began with ousted MSNBC host <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/01/for-the-sake-of-all-of-us-sonia-sotomayor-needs-to-retire-from-the-us-supreme-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mehdi Hasan</a>, who recently called on liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step aside &#8220;for the sake of all of us.&#8221;

Goldberg was not impressed with Hasan, arguing that he should be going after Justice Clarence Thomas instead.
&#8220;Getting her off doesn&#8217;t mean somebody else is going to get on and be better,&#8221; she said.

The Senate Judiciary Committee delivered a scathing review of the plan, however, stating, &#8220;The bill is an invasion of judicial power such as has never before been attempted in this country &#8230; It is essential to the continuance of our constitutional democracy that the judiciary be completely independent of both the executive and legislative branches of the government. &#8230; It is a measure which should be so emphatically rejected that its parallel will never again be presented to the free representatives of the free people of America.&#8221;

Sunny Hostin said on Wednesday that the United States should stop sending aid to Israel in the ongoing war against the terror group Hamas, claiming that if that happened, &#8220;the war would be over in three days.&#8221;
Hostin made the remarks during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View,&#8221; and her apparent suggestion — that the U.S. should step aside and let Hamas win — provoked an immediate rebuttal from liberal cohost Joy Behar.
&#8220;The United States, the U.N. has found, is complicit,&#8221; Hostin said of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. &#8220;That is because the United States sends $3.8 billion worth of aid to Israel, and that also includes arming them. Social scientists have found that if the United States stopped providing that aid —&#8221;
Several of Hostin&#8217;s cohosts began talking at once then, but she pushed ahead with her point.

&#8220;You know when the war would be over? If the — Hamas would release the hostages,&#8221; Behar shot back, over objections from Hostin. &#8220;That&#8217;s when the war would be over.&#8221;

A prominent independent writer was accused on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sunny-hostin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; this week of being a &#8220;pawn&#8221; for the political Right because of his views on race in America.
Coleman Hughes, an author and podcast host, joined the Left-wing show on Wednesday to discuss his book &#8220;The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America.&#8221;
Co-host Sunny Hostin said that Hughes&#8217; belief that everyone should &#8220;treat people without regard to race&#8221; was &#8220;fundamentally flawed.&#8221;
Hostin tried to use quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. to argue against having a &#8220;color-blind&#8221; society where everyone is treated equally regardless of race.
&#8220;So your argument for color-blindness, I think, is something that the Right has co-opted and so many in the black community, if I’m being honest with you, because I want to be, believe that you are being used as a pawn by the Right and that you’re a charlatan of sorts,&#8221; Hostin said.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is a contributor at CNN, defended Hughes against the allegations, noting: “He’s not a Republican!”
Hostin claimed that Hughes has declared that he is a &#8220;conservative,&#8221; which he denied having said.
&#8220;I don’t think I’ve been co-opted by anyone. I’ve only voted twice — both for Democrats. I’m an independent,&#8221; Hughes said. &#8220;I would vote for a Republican — probably a non-Trump Republican if they were compelling. I don’t think there’s any evidence I’ve been co-opted by anyone and I think that’s an ad-hominem tactic people use to not address, really, the important conversations we’re having here. I think it’s better and it would be better for everyone if we stuck to the topics rather than make it about me without any evidence that I’ve been co-opted.&#8221;

&#8220;No one is paying me to say what I&#8217;m saying,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The reason I wrote this book is because, in the past 10 years, it has become very popular to, in the name of anti-racism, teach a kind of philosophy to our children, in general, that says your race is everything. And I think that is the wrong way to fight racism, and that&#8217;s why I wrote this book at this time.&#8221;

Sunny Hostin Gets Wrecked After Accusing Independent Author Of Being ‘Co-Opted’ By Republicans

Race

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sunny-hostin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunny Hostin</a> criticized Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) for her decision to place National Guard soldiers on New York City subways, suggesting that it played into &#8220;Republican narratives&#8221; on increasing violent crime in Democrat-led cities.
Hostin made the comments directly to Hochul&#8217;s face during the New York Democrat&#8217;s Wednesday appearance on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; complaining about the optics and arguing that there was no real need for the added security.
&#8220;Governor, after a series of high profile crime on New York City subways, right, you deployed hundreds of state police and National Guard troops into the subway system,&#8221; Hostin began. &#8220;But since the pandemic, you have done a wonderful job, overall crime is down in the city, so my question to you is, why now? Why deploy now to the subway?&#8221;
Hostin went on to ask Hochul how she&#8217;d respond to fellow Democrats who referred to the move as &#8220;theatrics that play into Republican narratives that blue cities are poorly-run war zones.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not buying it, I&#8217;m not buying it,&#8221; Hochul replied, adding, &#8220;My job is to keep you people safe. Any way I can, I&#8217;m going to keep New Yorkers safe, and I&#8217;ll tell you who does show appreciation for it, the people out there on the streets.&#8221;

Cohost Joy Behar then pivoted to address the topic of bail reform, noting that people who probably should be in jail were being returned to the streets and going right back to committing crimes — whether they be in the subway system or on the streets of the city.
Hochul again stated that her job was to keep New Yorkers safe — and said that she was happy to take criticism all day long for doing just that — but she shifted the blame for her state&#8217;s bail reform laws to former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), who resigned amid multiple sexual misconduct scandals.
&#8220;I inherited from my predecessor and the legislature before – they took the bail laws and watered them down and made it impossible for judges to look at the whole picture of the crime and the person, what they&#8217;re doing,&#8221; she explained.

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; complained during Thursday&#8217;s broadcast that the Supreme Court was plotting to &#8220;help Trump&#8221; by taking up the case regarding whether or not the former president was immune from prosecution.
Cohost Joy Behar, ignoring the fact that the Supreme Court was already <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-takes-up-trump-immunity-claim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expediting the case</a> at Special Counsel Jack Smith&#8217;s request, questioned the timing of the case — asking specifically why they wouldn&#8217;t take up the case &#8220;immediately.&#8221;
&#8220;They&#8217;re not taking up this case immediately, so what&#8217;s their motivation then?&#8221; Behar asked. &#8220;What is their motivation for not doing it right away?&#8221;
&#8220;Unfortunately, some people are saying the motivation is that there are certain conservative justices that have been appointed by Trump that want to help him,&#8221; cohost Sunny Hostin alleged, suggesting that the timing was an intentional move to make sure that Smith&#8217;s case against Trump could not be completed prior to the presidential election in November.
&#8220;Because we know the end result is — if this case is not resolved by the time of the election and he God forbid becomes the President of the United States — the Justice Department policy is that you can&#8217;t indict nor put on trial a sitting president, right? And so it&#8217;s his get out of jail free — but it&#8217;s his get out of jail free card.&#8221;
&#8220;He could throw him in jail,&#8221; Goldberg interrupted as Hostin finished. &#8220;No, no, no, I&#8217;m saying Biden could &#8230;&#8221;

‘The View’ Loses It Over SCOTUS Taking Up Immunity Case, Accuses Court Of Plot To ‘Help Trump’

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; devolved into chaos around the table over the anti-Israel &#8220;un-committed&#8221; protest votes cast in Michigan&#8217;s Democratic primary election on Tuesday.
The hosts were responding to the fact that just over 13% of Michigan Democrats — encouraged by anti-Israel elected officials like Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — chose to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gretchen-whitmer-michigan-democrats-who-dont-vote-biden-are-helping-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leave their vote uncommitted</a> rather than back President Joe Biden over his support for Israel in the war against the terror group Hamas.
Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the discussion by saying that Democrats certainly had the right to vote for another candidate, but she argued that those who chose to leave their vote &#8220;uncommitted&#8221; were somehow trampling on the voting rights of others.

Joy Behar agreed and then referenced a comment from Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) — who claimed that if former President Donald Trump were still in office, he might have &#8220;nuked Gaza.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s not that farfetched because he&#8217;s crazy,&#8221; Behar insisted.
Co-host Sunny Hostin defended the anti-Israel protest vote, saying they were using their votes to make a point and should be allowed to do that. &#8220;They&#8217;re not sitting on the couch,&#8221; she said. &#8220;These are protest votes.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin accused former South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley of being &#8220;inauthentic&#8221; when she reacted emotionally to the fact that her husband, MAJ Michael Haley, is deployed halfway around the world.
Hostin made the remarks during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show, suggesting to her co-hosts that she was qualified to judge the validity of Haley&#8217;s emotions because she also &#8220;came from a military family.&#8221;

&#8220;The operative word is &#8216;authentic&#8217; for me,&#8221; Hostin said. &#8220;And I think Nikki Haley has been inauthentic from day one.

She has refused to not say that she would not — to say that she would not endorse him, she had the slavery gaffes over and over again.&#8221;

Sunny Hostin of ABC’s “The View,” who recently discovered that her ancestors were slave owners, insisted that she still deserves slave reparations.
Hostin was <a href="https://www.pbs.org/weta/finding-your-roots/watch/episodes/far-and-away" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interviewed</a> on PBS’s “Finding Your Roots” by host Henry Louis Gates Jr.
He informed her that her great-great-great grandfather, born in 1824, was the son of a merchant who was likely involved in the slave trade. Her great-great-great grandfather owned at least one human being, Gates Jr. stated. That side of the family came from Spain.
&#8220;Wow. I’m a little bit in shock; I just always thought of myself as Puerto Rican,&#8221; Hostin, whose husband comes from Spain, responded. &#8220;You know, half Puerto Rican. I didn’t think I was a – my family was originally from Spain and slaveholders.&#8221;
“So how are you feeling, my friend?” Gates Jr. asked.
“I think it’s actually pretty interesting that my husband and I have shared roots, so I do appreciate that,” she answered. “And I think it’s great for our children to know this information. I guess it’s a fact of life that this is how some people made their living, on the backs of others.”

The View host Sunny Hostin is a staunch proponent of slavery reparations.

On Thursday’s episode of The View, Hostin spoke of the revelation regarding her family, stating, “At first I was deeply disappointed.”
Co-host Joy Behar chimed in, “This slave thing, it’s a bummer.”

“It’s a bummer,” Hostin repeated, then continued, “I still believe in reparations, by the way. So, y&#8217;all can stop texting me and emailing me and saying that I&#8217;m a white girl and I don&#8217;t deserve reparations! &#8230; I still believe in reparations. I still believe this country has a lot to do in terms of racial justice.”
Hostin spoke of her mother, saying, “Her race is white, She’s European,” adding of her mother’s reaction to the news of her ancestry: “She was deeply disappointed. She actually cried about it. And then she said maybe that&#8217;s why I have been so connected to black culture because it&#8217;s an atonement in my spirit. And I received that. I also found out – and there were slaves on both sides of our family, mother’s and father’s. But we are seven percent indigenous Puerto Rican!”
In October 2022, Hostin <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/the-view-host-sunny-hostin-fumes-being-called-racist-social-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, “People need to start just looking up what the definition of racism is. It’s really a power dynamic. It’s not just about the color of your skin, and I think when you talk about those who committed crimes that owe reparations, those are the people who committed the atrocities of slavery, who stole land, who killed indigenous people.”
