‘The View’ Host Is Worried That Someone Who Doesn’t ‘Hate Trump’ Could Sit On NYC Jury
Sunny Hostin’s shocking revelation on ‘The View’ unveils her fear. What if someone on the jury doesn’t ‘hate Trump’? Read on to uncover the startling dialogue and implications. “The View” host Sunny Hostin made a startling admission on Tuesday’s show, expressing deep concern about the potential lack of anti-Trump sentiment among jurors in a New York City case.
Hostin’s worry stemmed from her belief that it would be nearly impossible to find jurors without strong opinions about the former president. She even suggested that prospective jurors should overtly express their dislike for Trump to ensure their inclusion on the jury.
“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 went on to express her concern that some jurors may harbor sympathetic feelings towards Trump, potentially compromising the fairness of the trial. She highlighted the process of scrutinizing jurors’ social media profiles to gauge their biases, suggesting that a Trump supporter could manipulate the system to 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 questioned.
“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, echoed her concerns, questioning how someone with pro-Trump sentiments could manage to sneak onto the jury. Behar concluded the discussion with a sarcastic remark about finding a jury of Trump’s peers, reflecting the skepticism surrounding the impartiality of potential jurors in the case.
The conversation on “The View” highlights the complex issue of political bias in the judicial system and raises questions about the fairness of jury selection processes in high-profile cases.
