Sunny Hostin Discusses Trump Inauguration

Sunny Hostin strikes again, folks. Tuesday’s episode of The View gave her yet another platform to air her grievances, this time about President Donald Trump’s second inauguration. Her issue? That it took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. You’d think she might take a moment to reflect on the historical significance of the day, but no—Hostin turned it into an opportunity to bash Trump. Classic.

First, let’s address the irony of Hostin admitting she didn’t even watch the inauguration. “I decided to protect my peace,” she said, as though she wasn’t gearing up to jump into yet another anti-Trump tirade. Instead, she spent her day in Harlem with her sorority sisters, which is fine and all, but maybe sitting out the event disqualifies her from speaking on it? Not in Hostin’s world, apparently. From her high horse, she declared it was “hypocritical” for Trump to be inaugurated on MLK Day, calling him unworthy of the honor and griping about his stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Here’s the kicker, though. She threw out this little gem: “He hasn’t — he had no political experience whatsoever.” Really, Sunny? Did you just miss the part where he served a full term as president? This wasn’t his first rodeo. If anything, he’s the definition of someone with political experience now. But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good narrative, right?

Then there’s the laughable claim that Trump didn’t earn his presidency, despite the fact that he not only won the Electoral College but also the popular vote in the 2024 election. She labeled him a “legacy hire” and even went so far as to call him a “DEI hire” — a “didn’t earn it hire,” as she put it. This is rich, considering the constant push from the left to downplay meritocracy altogether. Apparently, merit is important only when it’s convenient for the narrative. If Trump didn’t earn his presidency, what does that say about the millions of Americans who voted for him? Are they all mistaken? Or does Hostin simply believe her opinions matter more than their votes?

Hostin’s hypocrisy doesn’t stop there. She referenced MLK’s call for “economic equality” and reparations as forms of justice but noticeably left out a rather awkward detail: according to an episode of PBS’s Finding Your Roots, her ancestors likely owned slaves. Let that sink in. The same woman calling for reparations might actually owe some herself if we’re following her logic. Convenient omission, isn’t it?

Let’s also debunk her selective outrage about inaugurations on MLK Day. Trump isn’t the first president to be sworn in on the holiday. Bill Clinton did it in 1997. Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama both held events on the day during their respective second terms. Oh, and it was Reagan—yes, a Republican—who signed the bill making MLK Day a federal holiday in the first place. So where was Hostin’s outrage then? Oh, right, it didn’t fit the narrative.

Hostin’s complaints boil down to one thing: Trump represents everything the left loves to hate. It’s not about MLK or the holiday; it’s about seizing any opportunity to bash the man who dared to challenge their worldview. The truth is, inaugurating a president on MLK Day is no more “hypocritical” than celebrating the civil rights leader’s legacy of unity and equality under the flag of the United States. But for Hostin, it’s never been about unity. It’s about division dressed up as moral outrage.

So, Sunny, maybe next time, skip the speech and stick to your “peace.” The rest of us will be here celebrating the democratic process and remembering that the American people—not daytime talk show hosts—decide who earns the presidency.
