The View’s Sunny Hostin is arguably one of the most racist personalities in the liberal media these days. She white people, particularly white women, are among her favorite hate objects. White women who marry black Republicans also get the brunt of her hatred. She does all this while also claiming it’s America writ-large who’s the truly racist ones.
From decrying Senator Tim Scott’s engagement to a white woman to lashing out at female athletes for being “white” and “pretty” to denying the existence of black Republicans, listed here are some of Hostin’s most racist moments of 2024.
Presenting in chronological order are nine of those moments and one deeply ironic revelation about Hostin’s family that came to light this year.
Racist Hostin: Tim Scott’s Engagement Proves He’s a Puppet for Whites
In January, Hostin spit venom at Senator Scott’s engagement to his girl friend Mindy, who is white. The miserable co-host of The View suggested that the engagement was proof that Scott was just a puppet of white people, a la the movie The Sunken Place:
But he's in The Sunken Place. Okay? I mean, that's just the bottom line for Tim Scott, what's so fascinating is you know he's running for vice president. He endorses Trump on a Friday and then gets engaged on a Saturday, and announces his engagement on a Sunday because it's like, “Pick me. I'm getting married this year.” And no other vice president has been unmarried, right, and has been successful so it just screams “I want to be your vice president. I love you.”
Hostin: ‘You Can’t Say’ the ‘Vast Majority’ of America Is Not Racist
Hostin kicked off Black History Month by insisting that it was not only incorrect but inappropriate to say the “vast majority” of America was not racist.
When her co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin tried to nail Hostin down on whether or not she was asserting that “the vast majority are racist,” Hostin tried to shut down the debate by calling it her “lived experience” which meant no one could question her:
FARAH GRIFFIN: So, just to understand are we saying – do we think the vast majority of Americans are racist? That’s what I’m trying to – Help me understand.
HOSTIN: I think there is a significant portion that are racist and you can't dismiss my lived experience!
Hostin Conspiracy: GOP Only Support IVF to Stave Off White Replacement
Later that month, there was a dust up over the Alabama Supreme Court ruling on in vitro fertilization (IVF) in relation to the state’s pro-life laws. This controversy led to many Republicans coming out and making statements in support of IVF. According to Hostin, their support had an ulterior sinister motive.
She cooked up a conspiracy theory that the real reason Republicans supported IVF was to stave off white replacement (something she’s previously claimed was a conspiracy theory in and of itself):
I think they do want you to have more children and they just not saying the quiet part out loud…multicultural Americans are going to become the majority population by 2050. By 2050, the Hispanic Americans are expected to have the most population growth, an increase of about six percent, while the white population is expected to decrease by about 11 percent…they're coming out sort of against it and not being able to explain why. They want to have more American white children born because the birth rate has gone down.
The View Gets TRIGGERED By a Guest Who Argues Against Racism
Hostin gets particularly offended when people decry her brand of racism. During an interview with author Coleman Hughes about his book about removing race as a factor in government programs and policy making, Hostin called Hughes a “charlatan” and “a pawn” of Republicans (Hughes did not identify as a Republican).
She also engaged in grievance politics and tried to use clout to win the argument:
This is not my question, but when you say that socioeconomics picks out people in a better way than race, when you do look at the socioeconomics, you see the huge disparity between white households and black households. You see the huge disparity between white households and Hispanic households. So, your argument – and I've read your book twice because I wanted to give it a chance – your argument that race has no place in that equation is really fundamentally flawed in my opinion
(...)
That part is true, but as you are a student of Dr. King, I'm not only a student of Dr. King, I know his daughter Bernice. Right? So, I'm going to get to my question.
Race-Obsessed Hostin: Too Many White People in Trump Trial Courtroom, Needs 'a Little Color'
During the height of the politically motivated hush money trial against President-elect Trump, Hostin managed to make it into the courtroom to watch it live. In addition to saying it it was her first time seeing Trump in person and was “radioactive orange,” her other comments about skin color huffed about there being too many white people in the room:
HOSTIN: What I want to do is give a little color to the courtroom, because a lot of people –
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Oh, redo that.
HOSTIN: No, no, a little color. I mean that literally and figuratively.
Hostin Blasts WNBA Star Caitlin Clark for Being ‘White’ and ‘Pretty’
There was also the time Hostin lashed out white WNBA player Caitlin Clark for her skin color and good looks.
As a member of the WNBA Players Association’s board of advocates, commended Clark as a “vehicle that will bring this sport that I have loved so much and so long to little 5-year-old girls playing in Harlem.” But as a racist, Hostin attacked skin color:
With that being said, I do think that there is a thing called pretty privilege. There is a thing called white privilege. There is a thing called tall privilege. And we have to acknowledge that, and so part of it is about race because if you think about the Brittney Griners of the world, you know.
Hostin Says Black Republicans Don't Exist, 'Like Looking at Unicorns'
While Hostin has called black Republicans “oxymorons” and puppets of white people (as noted above), in the early summer Hostin suggested they just didn’t exist at all; like unicorns:
I thought it was interesting that the framing was a room of black Republicans. Where are they? Where are they? Because if you look at the stats, 77 percent of – 81 percent, I'm sorry, of black men are part of the Democratic Party. Black voters consistently align with the Democratic Party. Ninety -- Over 95 percent of black women are part of the Democratic Party so these black men that he was speaking with, I'd love to see them. It would be like looking at unicorns.
The View Suggests Brittany Mahomes Is Racist Over ‘Liked’ Trump Post
In another instance of Hostin attacking a white woman married to a black man, she went after Brittany Mahomes – the wife of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes – by suggesting she was a racist and hated her biracial children because she like a pro-MAGA post on Instagram:
It just seems to me that since she is in an interracial marriage, she should have known that to support a racist is problematic. Her children are biracial and her family is one of the families that in the '70s could not have lived in any of Donald Trump's buildings, so it just seems to me that maybe she's just not that politically savvy, or maybe she's just not read in, but its problematic.
Hostin Lashes Out at ‘Uneducated White Women’ for Kamala Losing Bigly
In the wake of Trump’s victory over failed Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris, Hostin was on a racist warpath against white women.
With exit polls showing Trump received a majority of the non-college educated white female demographic, Hostin’s hate surged as she resorted to calling them “uneducated white women” while praising black women like here:
I want to dig further into the demographics because black women tried to save this country again last night. 92 percent of black women voted for the Vice President. You have Latinas in the 70 percentile voting for the Vice President. What we did not was white women, who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump, uneducated white women in my understanding.
Notable Irony:
Racial Revelations: Sunny Hostin’s Family Owned Slaves, Still DEMANDS Reparations
In a moment of notable irony amid all of Hostin’s racism in 2024, an appearance on Finding Your Roots uncovered that not only was Hostin’s family prolific slave owners, they had actually fled the abolition of slavery with their slaves across the Atlantic and across the Caribbean. Hostin still insists that she’s entitled to reparation, while she has not publicly committed to paying the families hers enslaved.
