Sunny Hostin Fears Trump Fan Will 'Sneak' Onto Jury by Saying 'I Hate Trump, But...'
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin couldn't be more transparent in three areas.
Hostin is unabashedly racist, unabashedly antisemitic, and she unabashedly hates Donald Trump to the point of absurdity. In this episode of "Real Loons of Genius," Hostin couldn't have contained her Trump paranoia if she wanted to.
On the Tuesday edition of "The View," Sunny and her fellow non-Mensa co-hosts fretted about what everyone else seems to be fretting about – the upcoming hush-money trial of Trump, which is now in the jury selection phase.
I've seen two basic arguments from the Republican side.
First, the difficulty of seating an impartial jury in heavily Democrat Manhattan. Second, Trump will need just one objective member to judge the case based solely on its merits and applicable law.
Welp, leave it to Sunny Hostin to delusionally concoct a third possibility.
On Planet Sunny, the prevailing belief is that an otherwise impartial jury could be infiltrated by a Trump supporter who would lie to the court with this ridiculous claim: “I hate Trump. But I can be impartial.”
Joy Behar kicked off the festivities by whining about the criminal case against Trump "just beginning." Unpredictably, Hostin said: "I'm not Trumped out at all."
After pretend-Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, "They haven't even picked a juror, yet," Hostin was off to the TDS races:
But that's exciting to someone like me because 50 people said “I can't even be impartial,” which I admire them [sic] for their forthrightness and their honesty because you have to be honest when you're a juror. But I still believe they will be able to find an impartial jury. They are never going to find someone that doesn't know about the former twice-impeached loser president. Right?
They're never going to find that. But what I did find also interesting [was] the legal teams will be checking the jurors’ social media profiles to see if they can access the truthfulness and intention of what they said during voir dire, which is their questioning.
And I think that’s really, really important because, if you start liking Trump, you follow Trump stuff on social media, are you going to — can you be impartial? I don't think so. And I think what could happen in a case like this, if you have someone — and we were talking about it this morning, someone named Clay Travis sort of telling people to get onto that jury. You get one person that sneaks onto that jury with untoward feelings, that person can hang that jury.
Makes your head spin doesn't it? The convoluted, contradictory nonsense, I mean.
So Hostin piqued the interest of Behar, who asked: "How do you sneak on a jury?" She added: "You have to be called to a jury."
Hostin was on it:
Well, you lie. You lie. You say, “I hate Trump. But I can be impartial.' And I this and that. And then, all of a sudden, that’s the person who won’t vote to convict.
Do you suppose it crossed the nitwit's mind that saying "I hate Trump" and "I can be impartial" was a mutually exclusive claim?
The Bottom Line
It occurred to me while writing this article about how it's a shame that Sunny Hostin's brilliant legal mind is wasted, day after day, sitting on "The View." Then I thought, "Wait— Hostin's mind has been wasted — pickled, as it were — by Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome."
