WATCH: ‘The View’ Host Is Worried That Someone Who Doesn’t ‘Hate Trump’ Could Sit On NYC Jury

“The View” host Sunny Hostin made a glaring admission on Tuesday when she expressed her fear that someone sympathetic to Trump could wind up on the jury in Alvin Bragg’s case. The far-left host suggested that perspective jurors should just say “I hate Trump” in order to get on the case.

They are never going to find someone that doesn’t know about the former, twice impeached, loser president, right? No one’s no, they’re never gonna find that,” Hostin said. “But what I did find also interesting about my Super Bowl is that the legal teams will be checking the jurors’ social media profiles to see if they can assess the truthfulness and intention of what they said during voir dire, which is their questioning.”

Hostin noted that perspective jurors are being quizzed on their political leanings and any social media posts that might provide insight as to what those may be. Judge Juan Merchan — a Biden donor whose daughter has raised millions of dollars for Democrats — has refused to see any issue with jurors expressing bias against the former president.

In one instance, a woman who attended a Biden victory celebration parade was admitted while former President Trump was chastised by Judge Merchant for looking unamused.

Hostin has no issue with that, though she is worried that a Trump supporter could “sneak” onto the jury. “And I think that’s really, really important, because if you start liking Trump, say you follow Trump stuff on social media, are you going to, can you be impartial?” she asked. “I don’t really think so. And I think what could happen in a case like this is if you have someone, and we were talking about this morning, someone named Clay Travis is sort of telling people to get onto that jury. You get one person that sneaks onto that jury with untoward feelings, that person can hang that jury.”

Hostin’s co-host, Joy Behar, then asked how someone could sneak onto a jury. “Well, you lie. You say, ‘I hate Trump, but I can be impartial.’ And I this and that,” she said. 

Behar concluded the exchange by asking how Trump could find a jury of his peers. “How many bloated, orange pyschos are out there?” the lifetime New York resident said.
