The fallout from recent legal dramas has a comical twist for the co-hosts of “The View,” particularly its resident legal expert, Sunny Hostin. Historically known for her high-decibel attacks on Donald Trump, Hostin now finds herself in a position where her husband, an orthopedic surgeon, is facing serious allegations in a colossal RICO fraud case. This amusing scenario raises eyebrows and begs some rhetorical questions about how judgments are passed in the world of liberal media.
On “The View,” allegations seem to serve as proof, particularly when directed at the former president. Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, and Hostin herself have treated Trump as if he were a convicted felon rather than a presumed innocent person until proven guilty. This show has turned into a relentless court of public opinion where decorum takes a backseat to sensational condemnation. Hostin’s accusations of Trump having “committed so many crimes” are mere echoes in a cacophony of politically motivated hysteria. But one has to wonder: What does she think of her own family’s legal challenges?
The irony couldn’t be more delicious. Dr. Emmanuel Hostin, the target of a sprawling investigation into alleged kickback schemes, faces serious claims while his wife argues that no one should be above the law. The British press reported on the RICO case, detailing the accusations against him for purportedly engaging in fraudulent medical practices. If Sunny Hostin is to be taken seriously in her legal assessments, then one must question whether she’s been advising him to rethink his profession or possibly how to dodge the law rather than outwit it.
Despite the serious nature of the allegations against her husband, Sunny continues to play the role of the moral arbiter on national television. She claims that Trump should face the music for the alleged crimes surrounding the January 6 incident, yet her legal cred feels shaky at best now that her husband is mired in a scandal. It leads to the question of whether her high-profile rants on “The View” should now come with a disclaimer about her own home life.
2025 is shaping up to be the year of exposure … showing all the incompetence that's plagued our country for too long. Sunny Hostin is the latest @WestJournalism https://t.co/xuSeVDTglQ

With accusations flying and the air thick with irony, one might expect Sunny to take a moment to reflect on her past assertions against Trump. After all, if the public and the media can hold a political figure to an “innocent until proven guilty” standard, what of the same courtesy for Dr. Hostin? But who needs to be cautious when outrage drives ratings, right?
Ultimately, this story encapsulates the hilarity of liberal hypocrisy, especially when the tables turn. While Sunny may continue her tirades on television, viewers can’t help but chuckle at the notion that those who live in glass houses, or in this case, atop the lofty perches of “The View,” may want to reconsider their stance on legal guilt and innocence—especially when faced with their own homegrown scandals.
