Sunny Hostin Can Barely Contain Her Rage As She’s Forced To Read Legal Note On Matt Gaetz

“The View” cohost Sunny Hostin was visibly angry on Tuesday when she was forced during a recent broadcast to read a legal disclaimer stating that President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for Attorney General, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), has staunchly denied all allegations against him and has never been charged.

Hostin, a former federal prosecutor, had repeated several allegations against Gaetz — minus the disclaimer — earlier in the show.

“Within the Department of Justice, you know, you have the sex crimes unit, which is what I was a part of. Child sex crimes and child trafficking. How could you nominate someone with allegations of child trafficking or trafficking across state lines and having sex with a 17-year-old?” Hostin asked, adding that even according to the allegations, the sexual relationship was halted once it was revealed that the minor was 17 years old.

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg weighed in as well, saying, “I’m saddened by it because all of those women who will have to get some defense of what’s happened to them, that’s who they’re going to, and this is someone who will just say, ‘It’s not a big deal.’ All of those little kids who, you know, get abused, they got no recourse now because this is what’s in charge.”

Despite the fact that Gaetz has been investigated and still has never been charged, Hostin was clearly annoyed at the prospect of being forced to share that information with the audience.

“Sunny, you have a legal note,” cohost Whoopi Goldberg prompted her.

“I do have a legal note. Thank you, Whoopi,” Hostin said flatly. “Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling the claims, quote, ‘invented,’ and saying in a statement to ABC News that ‘this false smear following a three-year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism.’ The DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought.”
