The Media Research Center spent a lot of time complaining about what non-right-wing news shows said about Donald Trump’s New York trial. Unsurprisingly, they had even more to complain about when non-news shows tackled the subject. Nicholas Fondacaro made this a part of his daily hate-watch of “The View” for a May 10 post, complete with his ad-nauseam-repeated libelous smear of Sunny Hostin:
Apparently, someone allowed staunchly racist and anti-Semitic ABC co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) into the hush money trial of former President Trump and she reported back during Friday’s edition of The View. She said it was “shocking” to see Trump in person for the first time because his face was “radioactive orange.” She also lied about the composition of the jury and attacked one of the witnesses as “part of the Trump cult” because she had good things to say about her former boss.
The liberal ladies of The View were so excited to “cross-examine” Hostin and get the “tea” of what she witnessed. Moderator Joy Behar’s first pressing was about Trump’s skin tone and since Hostin was an obsessed race baiter, she was more than happy to oblige:
Fondacaro huffed that Hostin messed up on how the jury is comprised, baselessly accusing her of telling a “lie”:
Lying about the composition of the jury meant none of Hostin’s claims about Trump’s behavior in the courtroom could be trusted. According to her dubious assertions, Trump was acting like a child:
He’s stretching out like this. He’s like fist-bumping with attorneys. He’s like stretching. He took a little nap. Like, most defendants do not do that. They are instructed to sit there, pay attention, look with some humility. That’s not Donald Trump.
Hostin also lashed out at Madeline Westerhout, Trump’s former executive assistant who worked in the White House. Westerhout was supposedly “part of the Trump cult” because she enjoyed working for him and said he would wave to his wife.
“She is part of the Trump cult, for sure. She described him as one of the best bosses she ever had. She described him as being very loving with Melania, that they would, like, text each other and wave to each other outside of the window. I never expected anything like that,” she scoffed.
Fondacaro lashed out against Hostin again on May 14:
The staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host of ABC’s The View, Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) was again allowed into the New York courtroom for former President Trump’s hush money trial and reported back to the Cackling Coven her shocking findings. Last week, she was startled by Trump’s “radioactive orange” face. This time, she was rocking brand new “binoculars” with which she deduced that there were too many white people in the courtroom.
According to the race-obsessed co-host, there were too many white people and her job was to “give a little color to the courtroom.” Even moderator Whoopi Goldberg wanted her to walk it back:
[…]It’s worth noting that Hostin took a lot of pride in having been in the courtroom; but when the audience didn’t clap for her, she cued them to do so by declaring “thank you” to a silent room.
Even though every major news outlet had multiple reporters in the courtroom reporting on every twitch, gesture, and eye movement from the former President, Hostin clownishly and narcissistically claimed “no one” had reported what was physically happening in the courtroom except for her.
Fondacaro also whined that “Hostin also walked back her falsehood from last week when she erroneously suggested that there were “several” legal professionals on the jury, admitting there were only two. She didn’t correct her lie about there being more women than men.” Fondacaro offered no evidence Hostin was telling a “lie” in the accepted definition of the word.
Comedy cop Alex Christy felt the need to weigh in in a May 14 post when late-night hosts talked about the trial:
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! has the week off, but that did not stop the eponymous host from traveling across the country to New York and NBC’s Monday edition of Late Night with Seth Meyers. Together, Meyers and Kimmel would fantasize about trolling Donald Trump at his trial and dream about him being convicted.
The duo was discussing their histories with Trump when Meyers observed, “You actually got mentioned in the proceedings because there was some texts and it was because you had Stormy Daniels on your show.”
While Kimmel took pride in that, he claimed it didn’t live up to Meyers’s experience, “I appreciate that. It doesn’t compare to making so much fun of him at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that he actually ran for president.”
Meyers and Kimmel discussed what they would bring if the went to the courthouse for the trial, and Kimmel suggested “a whole bunch of little bottles of ketchup” since you’re not allowed to eat or drink in the courtroom and “Ketchup falls in that kind of gray area.” Christy unsurprisingly found no humor in that, as well as what came next:
He then wondered, “Have you thought about what would happen if he actually was convicted?”
Kimmel admitted that “I have thought about this. I dream about it. I really hope it happens.”
Maybe Kimmel could give the flowers he held in his lap during the interview to Alvin Bragg, that would certainly cement the late night comedian’s relationship with the Democratic Party.
Maybe Kimmel and Meyers should recruit Christy to deliver those little ketchup bottles so the guy could get closer to his idol.
