“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin repeatedly invoked her television career and her past as a federal prosecutor while trying to talk police out of citing her son for trespassing on active Metro-North Railroad tracks, according to newly released body camera footage.
The footage, obtained by the New York Post, shows Ms. Hostin using her position as a former federal prosecutor and her son’s background as a Harvard graduate and elementary teacher to try to get the charge dropped. Gabriel Hostin, 24, was stopped by Metropolitan Transportation Authority police shortly before 8 p.m. June 16 after officers observed him on the Metro-North railroad right-of-way at the New Rochelle station, in an area marked with “NO TRESPASSING” signs.
While on the phone with her son, Ms. Hostin told the responding officer, “My name is Sunny Hostin, and I’m one of the co-hosts of ’The View’ and I’m a former federal prosecutor,” according to the footage obtained by the New York Post. One officer replied that the situation was more than a matter of trespassing.
Ugh. It almost kills me to do this because I can't stand Sunny Hostin. She's a longtime professional race-baiter, a liar, a hypocrite, an elitist and just an all around bad person...but in this case, I don't think she did anything wrong and conservatives are picking the wrong fight. That's because Sunny did what any other mother would do when it comes to their kids: look out for them. Of course, Gabriel Hostin is a grown-ass man who should've known better jogging up a trail he had no business being in, but he's still her son. And just like you'd have to have been a fool for ever thinking that Joe Biden wasn't going to pardon his shitty son Hunter, the same logic (albeit on a much smaller scale) applies here: a parent looking out for their child's well-being. That said, instead of directing their collective ire at Sunny in this instance, conservatives should be more concerned about getting a real conservative on 'The View', becasue what they have now certainly doesn't come close to representing the political balance creator Barbara Walters strived for.
