Sunny Hostin Equates Execution of Terrorist to Lynching, ISIS Beheading Journo
14th October 2026
In a Monday appearance on The View’s Behind the Table podcast, ABC co-host Sunny Hostin doubled down on equating the upcoming execution of convicted terrorist Nidal Hasan, and its possible public view ability, as equivalent to public lynchings of black men in the South. She took it a step further and equated it to the recorded beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl by ISIS terrorists.
And in an additional example of Hostin seeing everything through the prism of chronic racial grievance, on Tuesday’s episode of The View, she suggested it was racist of President Trump to accurately describe Somalia as a failed state.
