“The View” star Sunny Hostin calls Donald Trump 'the antichrist,' slams 'cultish' followers

Hostin took aim at Trump's supporters as the Hot Topics table broke down Tom Suozzi's election victory in New York.

The View star Sunny Hostin has a special Valentine's Day message for Donald Trump: Not today, Satan.

During a Hot Topics discussion about Democratic representative-elect Tom Suozzi's win over Republican candidate Mazi Pilip for George Santos' vacated seat, the show's legal expert criticized Trump's supporters amidst the ongoing presidential race.

After conservative cohost and former Trump associate Alyssa Farah Griffin cited Pilip's loss as indicative of disarray in the Republican party when it comes to losing "winnable races because of their [loyalty] to Trump," Hostin agreed that "it makes no sense" and Trump's base "feels sort of cultish" for sticking with him.

"God forbid, if the antichrist gets re-elected. I mean the former, twice-impeached, how many counts? 91 counts, and civilly liable for sexual assault, if he gets put into the White House, I think there's a real shot that the Democrats have the House and the Senate if they run these kinds of races," Hostin said, before praising the race Suozzi ran against Pilip.

"That will at least put a check on the antichrist, right? I also think, if you think about it now, they only have about a one-vote margin... perhaps now maybe we can get that immigration bill passed and maybe we can some work done in the final months of this part of Biden's administration," she added. "I think this was a really big win ,and it was a roadmap to other Democrats. Do this, this is the playbook."

The ladies of The View have long spoken out against Trump, with moderator Whoopi Goldberg even refusing to say his name on air, often referring to him as "You-Know-Who" instead, while Griffin has repeatedly used her public platform to warn Americans of the dangers of electing Trump to a second term.

In 2022, Hostin landed in hot water for likening white women voting for Republicans to "roaches voting for Raid."

The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
