Witches’ Bane: Put Up An American Flag To Keep Sunny Hostin Away

Many New England homes used to be equipped with the bizarre and highly inconvenient “Witches’ Stairs,” a staggered staircase design said to prevent witches from ascending. But what if I told you there was a more efficient way to keep a witch out of your home or, better yet, your neighborhood? According to The View’s Sunny Hostin, an American flag is enough to make her feel “unsafe.”

Hostin says that any community with American flags is automatically racist:

Fresh back from the hosts’ Fourth of July vacation, Hostin flaunted her craziness, claiming the American flag was a symbol of “white supremacy,” and that she was terrified of neighborhoods with too many. She even admitted that this was a long-held belief:

And I said this on this show many, many years ago. Because this is my tenth year on the show and I said there are times; when I walk into a community and I see American flags all over the community and I suddenly feel unsafe, because there’s a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag and they equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy.

Meanwhile, the new sexual assault allegations against Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner weren’t enough to scare her away from fully supporting him.

Hostin clearly has some deep-seated issues about certain neighborhoods and the certain people who live in them, including her own.

Last year, she shared her concern that everyone in the “all-white neighborhood” into which she had just moved was secretly racist, and that they were going to call the police to harass her son on his jogs.

“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,” she recounted.

Sunny Hostin apparently thinks all her white neighbors are racists. She says she fears them calling the police on on her son if they see him training for the Junior Olympics:

Hostin suggested her fear stemmed from her being “a mother of black children.” “I know that black boys are not given the presumption of innocence and the presumption of youth,” she added.

Hostin’s brazen anti-Americanism apparently is supported by ABC News and Disney.

Earlier this year, she admitted that she was “embarrassed” to be an American and called America a “failed experiment.”

Sunny Hostin, who once said she was more comfortable in Ghana than America, says she’s “embarrassed” by the country as America nears 250 and calls it a “failed experiment” in self governance:

But where did Hostin learn to hate America this much? According to her, she learned from her father, and she’s been fairly open about it.

In reacting to a SCOTUS ruling against Affirmative Action in 2023, Hostin shared the corrupting “wisdom” her father taught her: “It’s been harder for us, and I’m sorry, people may not agree with that. My father always told me you have to work twice as hard to get half as far in this country and that remains true.”

If you want to see where The View’s Sunny Hostin got her hatred of America, here she is on June 29, 2023 talking about affirmative action and explaining how her father taught her to hate:

Now that we’re past the Fourth of July and the Halloween season is upon us (according to my local grocery store’s candy aisle), be sure to hang up an American flag to keep the spooky kook away.
