Sunny Hostin, one of the harpies who co-hosts “The View,” was utterly humiliated on live television when she was forced to read a statement from the legal department of the program after launching into a vicious verbal assault against former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz who President-elect Donald Trump nominated for the position of Attorney General. And let me tell you, watching her squirm and hate every second of having to read the statement was extremely satisfying.
So what did Hostin say about Gaetz that got her in such hot water? She smeared him for allegedly sexually abusing children and took her rant over the line.
Check out the details from The Western Journal:
Goldberg “abruptly” stated that Hostin had a notice from the show’s legal department to read on the air. Given how painful it appeared for Hostin to do so, it was clear she would have preferred to be doing just about anything else (like launching another racist rant against Trump voters).
Sonny Hostin was forced to make a “legal note” that Matt Gaetz was found to have done nothing wrong… After trashing him, stating he had sex with an underage girl…

“Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling the claims, quote, ‘invented,’ and saying in a statement to ABC News that ‘this false smear following a three-year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism,’” Hostin went on to read from the statement. “The DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought.”
Gaetz, who has enemies on both sides of the aisle in Washington (see, for example, his long-running feud with former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy) — as well as in President Joe Biden’s Justice Department — has been the subject of accusations of sexual misconduct for years. As Hostin noted — however unwillingly — the accusations have not been substantiated. But that isn’t stopping many on the left and the right (National Review’s Jeffrey Behar, for instance) from using them as ammunition to attack the Gaetz nomination.
Pronouncing Gaetz guilty of statutory rape, as Hostin effectively did on Tuesday, is a bridge too far, even for “The View,” or at least the show’s attorneys. Hostin, according to her ABC biography, is a former federal prosecutor of child sex cases. That means she should know better — and that makes it much, much worse.
Colin Rugg, a popular conservative commentator published a video of Hostin’s rant that led to the legal department’s statement:
NEW: The View host Sunny Hostin fumes as she is forced to read a legal note just minutes after presenting the Matt Gaetz allegations as a “fact.”
Hostin: They discussed the fact that once [Gaetz] finds out that she's 17, he stops having s*x with her.
Hostin 3 min later: Matt… pic.twitter.com/USvYjnWqKZ

While these allegations have not been proven, there are legitimate reasons to be a bit skeptical about Gaetz running the Justice Department. His biography contains no mention of law enforcement experience or practicing law, which might be a tad bit concerning for many. However, the president-elect knows what he’s doing and at this point, we have to trust that Gaetz has the characteristics, talents, and experience that he needs in that position to carry out his agenda and to help bring lawfare to an end.
“The DOJ under Attorney General Merrick Garland has proven repeatedly over the Biden administration that it has devolved into a nakedly political outfit. It’s been dedicated to protecting its favorites (first son Hunter Biden, say) — and attacking perceived enemies — such as Donald Trump, parents concerned about their children’s education, and pro-lifers,” the report said in conclusion.
