Sunny Hostin slammed former employer CNN for its upcoming town hall with ex-President Donald Trump. On Thursday's episode of The View, the panel discussed the on-air town hall being held in New Hampshire and airing CNN. 

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg chided the event for happening and stated:

Well, that’s what I’m so disgusted by. When someone shows you who they are, you believe them. When you show that you are an insurrectionist, that you’re a liar, that you’re a bigot, that you’re a racist, that you’re sexist, that you’re twice impeached, that you are currently a criminal defendant and likely to be a criminal defendant in two other jurisdictions and you grab women by their genitals, I know everything I need to know about you!

Hostin further went on to say:
