The View Host Accused of Slandering Matt Gaetz. Network Forces Her to Read Legal Disclaimer.
The View Host Accused of Slandering Matt Gaetz. Network Forces Her to Read Legal Disclaimer.

The ladies of The View are at it again. This time, Sunny Hostin, one of the show’s loudest liberal voices, took aim at former Congressman Matt Gaetz, a close ally of President-elect Donald Trump.

On Tuesday’s show, Hostin accused Gaetz of “child sex crimes” and “child trafficking.” The problem? Those claims have been debunked, and the Department of Justice dropped its investigation into Gaetz without filing charges. Facts, it seems, are optional for Hostin.

Hostin’s rant didn’t stop there. She invoked her own background in the Department of Justice to bolster her baseless claims. The liberal co-hosts of The View seem to think they can say whatever they want about conservatives without consequences.

From The Post Millennial:
Sunny Hostin was forced to read a legal disclaimer on The View Tuesday after she went off with a rant against former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) whom President-elected Donald Trump has nominated for attorney general in his incoming administration. The talk show co-host had falsely accused Gaetz of committing “child sex crimes” and “child trafficking” just before she read the note.

A Pattern of Recklessness on The View

This isn’t the first time The View has spread misinformation about Republicans. The show has become a hotbed of wild conspiracy theories and baseless accusations.

The formula is predictable: say something outrageous, walk it back halfheartedly, and act like it’s no big deal. When called out, they hide behind the excuse that they’re just “sharing opinions.”

Hostin, in particular, has a habit of crossing the line. Her rant about Gaetz seemed designed to smear his name just as he was announced as Trump’s pick for Attorney General. It’s almost like these hosts can’t stand the idea of anyone close to Trump holding power.

But here’s the irony: Gaetz resigned from Congress after his nomination, showing he’s ready to take on this new role with integrity. Hostin, meanwhile, can’t even apologize properly when she’s caught spreading lies.

The Truth About Matt Gaetz

Let’s set the record straight. Gaetz has been accused of heinous crimes in the past, but the Department of Justice investigated those claims for three years. They found no evidence and closed the case without charges.

That’s not a “loophole” or “technicality”—it’s a fact. Hostin’s claims were not only false but reckless, given the legal disclaimer she was forced to read live on air.

Why This Matters

The media’s obsession with tearing down Republicans has reached absurd levels. When mainstream outlets like The View act as mouthpieces for baseless accusations, it damages public trust in journalism.

Sunny Hostin’s behavior is emblematic of a larger problem: a complete disregard for truth when attacking political opponents.

Instead of discussing real issues, The View fuels division and spreads misinformation. It’s no wonder conservatives feel like they’re constantly playing defense.

The Gaetz saga is just the latest example of how far the left will go to discredit Trump and his allies. But the facts remain on Gaetz’s side, and Hostin’s rant is yet another failed attempt to rewrite reality.

Key Takeaways

  • Misinformation hurts everyone. Reckless claims damage public trust in media and politics.
  • Gaetz cleared his name. The DOJ closed its investigation with no charges, yet smears persist.
  • The View needs accountability. Wild accusations aren’t “opinions”—they’re dangerous lies.
