    Co-Host Of ‘The View’ HUMILIATED After Attacking Matt Gaetz

    News & Politics

    One of the most gratifying sights I have had the pleasure to behold as a writer who has consistently had to cover the harpies over on “The View” came this week when co-host Sunny Hostin was forced to read a statement from the show’s legal department after she went way too far in an angry rant against former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who President-elect Donald Trump has chosen to nominate as the Attorney General for his new administration. She was visibly upset and uncomfortable having to read the statement and the sight of her unhappiness was delicious.

    I know, I know. It sounds childish to delight in the humiliation of one’s enemies, but look at how awful the left has been to those who support Trump and love their country. These folks are now reaping what they have sowed.

    So what was it Hostin said about Gaetz that made the show’s legal department decide she’d gone over the line? She smeared the former congressman concerning allegations of child sex abuse.

    Here’s more 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).

    “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 said as she read the statement aloud. “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.

    Popular conservative commentator Colin Rugg shared a video of the co-host’s comments that led to the show’s lawyers panic:

    There are a few actual reasons to be a bit hesitant about Trump choosing Gaetz to be Attorney General but these allegations aren’t among them. When you do a scan through his congressional biography, there is no mention of practicing law. The question then becomes what kind of experience does Gaetz bring to the table that qualifies him to be Attorney General?

    However, we also have to understand that Trump was careful about who he picked for his cabinet this time around. If he picked Gaetz, that means he possesses everything Trump feels is necessary to carry out the duties of the position. We just have to trust him.

    “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 finished.
