Toxic Heart: 8 of Sunny Hostin’s Most Racist Moments of 2025

In addition to being The View’s in-house legal expert (as a former federal prosecutor), co-host Sunny Hostin was the show’s most vocal social justice warrior and proponent of toxic woke ideology. As such, Hostin was prone to making profoundly racist comments that either attacked white people, promoted black people above others, and much more. And just like the year prior, Hostin put her toxic heart out there for all to see in 2025.

From praising black women as the superior demographic in America to scoffing at a white woman being set on fire to flip flopping on Pope Leo XIV after she learned of his black ancestry, Hostin proved herself to be someone who only viewed America and the rest of the world through a racist prism of hatred.

Below are the eight of Hostin’s most racist moments of 2025. And she has the nerve to whine about those who call her out, and despite the fact she had slave owner ancestors.

 

Hostin Insists Black Women Are a Superior Demographic, 'Voted to Save' America

Hostin routinely bloviated about how her “lived experience” as an “Afro-Latina” gave her the unique perspective to see and speak about how racist America purportedly was. It was that self-righteousness that led to her praising herself for being a black woman, the superior demographic.

According to her, black women were superior because they simply voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris:

HOSTIN: And when black people win and get rights like civil right, everybody does better and that's something that the Democrats can take a page out of the book for. But, you know, I'm starting to think as I've said before, I'm one of the 92 percent of black women that voted for Kamala Harris and so I'm sort of in a resting place right now because I voted to save the country and the country didn't vote with me. The majority of the country.

 

 

Sunny Hostin: America 'Still Is Sickened' With Racism and Slavery

Hostin had previously shared that it was her father who taught her to hate America and look at the world through a prism of chronic racial grievance. And every once in a while, she’d go on racially charged rants about how terrible America purportedly was. Like she did in November:

Because of my lived experience as an afro-Latina, I'm able to look at this world with a different prism and I'm able to tell this country and tell this audience and tell my fellow co-hosts some uncomfortable truths. This is a country based on racism and slavery and founded in it. There is systemic racism. And misogyny

It was a rant so potent that it spilled over into their Behind the Table podcast, where she claimed America was “still sickened with” racism and slavery.

 

Sunny Hostin Scoffs at Woman Burned to Death By Illegal Immigrant

Hostin’s heartlessness was on full display in January during a dust up with co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin over the arson death of white Debrina Kawam by a Hispanic illegal immigrant. She openly decried the attention the case was getting because it put a spotlight on the problem of criminal illegals in America.

While defending illegal immigration, Hostin had the nerve to attack America for how it supposedly “lacks empathy” when she didn’t show any for Kawam:

HOSTIN: Can I say something? You know, we keep on talking about criminals and immigrants being criminals, and I just want people understand what the facts are and the stats are; is that undocumented immigrants are much less likely to have committed crimes than American citizens. American citizens commit more crimes than one who is undocumented.

I also want to make the point that an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal because he or she is undocumented. That is a civil offense.

(...)

I think this country is a country that lacks empathy unless you have lived it, unless you have a lived experience, and that is very unfortunate.

 

 

The View’s Racists Decry White South Africans, Defend Their Racism

With President Trump giving special protected status to white South Africans who were fleeing persecution, Hostin found a group of immigrants she refused to defend.

Hostin parroted denials of persecution and land appropriation from South Africa’s president and decried Trump not giving similar special status to Haitians:

HOSTIN: And I think something we're not talking about is – enough about is what Donald Trump did on Monday is the Trump administration allowed in 59 white South African refugees into this country, claiming that they were fleeing racial discrimination and land appropriation. So the South African president has been actively, you know, denying at and denying that persecution. (...) The fact that Haitians that are truly refugees, they have been denied protective status!

(...)

HOSTIN: And yet, we are welcoming white South Afrikaners.

 

 

The View Celebrates Black History Month By Promoting Discredited 1619 Project

Leave it to Hostin to continue to push a project that had long been debunked and called out as revisionist history wish casting, even by black historians:

HOSTIN: Today, we honor investigative journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones who continues to redefine our national conversations on race.

Born in Waterloo, Iowa her award-winning career covering race, class, education, and equity all started with a letter to the editor of her local paper at just 11 years old. Joins Jones [sic] The New York Times in 2015 and publish her groundbreaking investigative piece four years later, The 1619 Project. The collection of essays and art backdated the founding of the United States from 1776 to 1619, the year when the first enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia.

Although it was met with backlash, the project went on to become a best-selling book, a Hulu docu-series and podcast, and inspired her children's book Born on the Water.

 

Sunny Hostin Suddenly Likes New Pope After Learning Black Ancestry

After initially bristling at the election of Pope Leo XIV because of his support for traditional marriage, Hostin - a purported “devout Catholic” - announced that she changed her mind about the pope.

Hostin didn’t hide the fact that she changed her mind because she learned that Leo had “Haitian and black roots”:

There’s one other thing that's very interesting to me because President Trump, as you remember, called Haiti a certain type of country. As it turns out, our new American pope has Haitian and black roots! So, we actually have a black pope! Apparently – It's a chef's kiss for me. (....) So, I’m loving it. I’m really enjoying it.

 

 

Sunny Hostin Fears Her 'All-White Neighborhood' Will Call Cops on Son

Hostin was insufferable on TV, but imagine what it would be like to be her neighbor!

In October, the multi-millionaire TV host announced that she had recently moved to a new, “all white neighborhood” and was already making embarrassing scenes. According to her, she was so terrified that her white neighbors would call the police on his son that she dragged him down to the police station and scolded them to leave him alone:

As a mother of black children, I know that black boys are not given the presumption of innocence and the presumption of youth. (…) And so, for me, what was interesting was; I have had to be in the position where I've gone to my local police department because I know my son is going to be training for the Junior Olympics, running around the neighborhood, in an all-white neighborhood, and I have brought him to the police and said he belongs to me, this is my son. Do not harass him, do not stop him.

 

 

Sunny Hostin Whines About Being Called a ‘Race Baiter’ While Bashing Whites

Given everything we’ve just gone over, it was all the more ridiculous that Hostin would dare whine about people calling her out as a race baiter. It was somehow even more so that she was whining about it while also bashing white people:

It's been about white mediocre men that are given opportunities. It's about legacy admissions. It's – You don't, you know, have to be excellent. You have to be average if you're white; if you are black, you must – your average must be excellent in order to compete.

(...)

And, you know, certainly we get punished for talking about our lived experience, you know, I'm called a race baiter and all of this stuff.
