Sunny Hostin Makes Shocking Claim About Eclipse And Co-Hosts Come To Rescue
HuffPost
"The View" host tried to make a few connections that Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar weren't buying.
Sunny Hostin is a lawyer, novelist and a co-host of “The View” ― but a scientist she is not. (Watch the video below.)
The talk show panelist suggested Monday that the confluence of the solar eclipse, New York City earthquake and the arrival of cicadas was due to climate change ― or perhaps something more biblical.
Co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg stepped in as real-time fact-checkers.
The exchange occurred after co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin mentioned the end-of-the-world-style conspiracy theories emerging as Monday’s eclipse followed last week’s 4.8 earthquake in the tri-state area.
Hostin recalled how one of the show’s makeup artists fled the building during the temblor, saying that Jesus was coming and “I’m leaving.”
