After Boston Herald columnist Wendy Murphy assured us that the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder case was "getting the negative attention he deserves," The View's Sunny Hostin shocked her fellow harpies by sharing how she, too, was the lone holdout juror in 1991, in the case of the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park, who killed a woman, chopped her up, boiled the body parts, and fed them to the "unhoused." Hostin was proud of keeping the killer out of prison and committed to a psychiatric facility instead, because he was obviously not guilty by reason of insanity.
Hostin's story came apart a day later, when X sleuths pulled up newspaper articles about the trial reporting that Hostin was actually upset with the holdout juror in the case, saying she believed the cannibal defendant was aware of his actions. Hostin's talent seems to be saying things on The View that drive ABC News' lawyers to force her to read "clarifications" live on air.
This is important.

Her willingness to tell outright fabrications -- which ABC can no longer deny -- makes her a defamation risk. https://t.co/JKEY5Kg2zV
ABC News still hasn't booted Hostin off the show, and why should they? To hear Hostin tell it, as Michelle Obama and so many others have before, to be a black woman in the United States means that your "average" has to be excellent.

She's also a lying fraud.

I wonder if she's ever had to sit through a 2-day HR presentation telling her that she's inferior as a person because she's racist from birth, while they explain their plan to reduce the number of people like her in the company.

I have.
😂 As a black woman in the United States she is the most privileged person on planet earth. Add in her wealth and fame and I can’t imagine anything better.

People with this attitude need to be shunned from society.
How do none of her fellow crazies not say, "Me too buddy. Me too. So, when are you going to start showing us all this excellence you've been doing in secret?"

I feel like it's required if say anything remotely like this in a friend group.
Criticized not because she is black - criticized because she is a complete lying hypocritical idiot.

Her average isn’t even close to excellent.

This country is going through a narcissistic renaissance the likes of which has never been seen https://t.co/7zf4emdQCy

I’ve been looking for a good name for what we are seeing with the overall malignant narcissism that is proliferating and specifically with women. Narcissistic renaissance is perfect!

As a black woman in the United States…she’s absolutely one of the most privileged individuals on the planet. Being both black and female, she can essentially do nothing wrong and gets disproportionate support everywhere. Then factor in the amount of money she has. 🤯

Always the victim. This shtick is getting old.

She and her ilk so desperately need it to still be 1956 instead of 2026. What else does she have?
— Terri Tiedt (@TerriTiedt) September 25, 2026
She so wants the reason that she's reviled by decent people to be her race, when it's really a long list of her negative character traits, like dishonesty, racism, elitism, an ego the size of New York, the inability to admit she's wrong, etc., etc.

Isn't she regularly forced to apologize for some remark she can't back up? Somebody should ask her for her definition of excellence.

It's an epidemic of self-importance.

And the whole shit's gonna crash and burn at some point.
We think it already has, or at least it's begun to. Hearing a multimillionaire who continually spreads misinformation complain about the pressure to be "excellent" just isn't flying.
