‘The View’ Sunny Hostin on Campus Protests, Gen Z Will Save the World

Sunny Hostin seems to be showing some solidarity with pro-Palestinian student protesters across the country — or at the very least, a nod to their right to express themselves.

We caught up with “The View” cohost Thursday in NYC … and, we asked her about the pro-Palestine demonstrations sweeping college campuses across the nation right now — and Sunny says she thinks calling them “pro-Palestine” is the wrong way to label them.

While they are supporting Palestine against Israel, Sunny says she considers these folks anti-war protesters, saying it’s a long tradition among students in the U.S. dating back years.

SH goes on to heap praise on Gen-Z — whom she says are very plugged into current events … and, she’s convinced they’re going to fix the world’s ills in the coming years.

As for whether or not she backs with the pro-Palestine cause itself … Sunny hedges — saying she’s pro-free speech, while not specifically saying she agrees with the protesters’ demands.

ICYMI … early Thursday morning, LAPD detained a bunch of protesters camping on UCLA’s campus, clearing out the encampment that popped up last week after a similar move by NYPD on Columbia’s campus earlier in the week.

On a much less serious note, we also ask Sunny about the reaction to her comments about Donald Trump — specifically, her hot take on his farting. Remember, she slammed the notion he’s passing gas in the courtroom during his hush-money trial … saying it was embarrassing.

Hostin addresses that too — saying she gets hate mail all the time … so, negative reactions from fans ain’t getting to her, and it doesn’t sound like her Trump remarks changed that much.
