So Sad: Sunny Hostin Has Regrets for Actually Asking Kamala a Question and Tanking Her Campaign

It was a moment that many feel ended Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, and it never would have happened to a qualified candidate. It went down in October '24 when “The View’s” far-left contributor Sunny Hostin asked Harris what she would do differently from her addled boss, then-President Joe Biden. Kamala basically answered, not a darn thing.

It was a softball question if there ever was one, and Harris swung and missed in one of the great political whiffs of the century.

Now Hostin has the sads that she had the temerity to ask what should have been a simple query. Speaking on the "Behind the Table" podcast  posted Wednesday, the incendiary host said she feels “terrible.”

"It's Sunny's fault she [Kamala] didn't win," Joy Behar quipped, trying to be funny but figuratively stabbing her co-host in the back. Sunny put her hands to her face in shame, then responded:

"I knew it instantly when she answered it," Hostin said during the podcast conversation, when asked by Teta if she knew it would be a viral moment. "Which is why I asked the follow-up question, ‘is there one thing?’  Because I knew, I could see the soundbite and I knew what was going to happen, but I thought it was a really fair question and I thought it was a question that she would expect."

[…]

"And now Jake Tapper wrote it in his book?" she asked her fellow co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin. "I feel terrible." 

Watch:

Hostin is known for her out-of-this-world hot takes:

Democrat strategist James Carville has gone on record as saying that the moment likely stuck a fork in the dreams of Democrats:

James Carville on how Sunny Hostin ended Kamala Harris' campaign:
"When we go back and history unearths this, it's going to be right there on the View.
Sunny Hostin, Houston, whatever asked the question. That's the most devastating answer you can imagine."

Thank you Sunny Hostin for your contribution to the Trump campaign.

The most amazing thing to me isn’t that Kamala Harris couldn’t adequately answer a softball question—we knew she was not competent and was prone to responding to the most basic queries with incomprehensible word salads—it’s that Hostin feels “terrible” about asking it in the first place. Such are the depths to which our mainstream media has sunk, that a professional pundit doesn’t have regrets about trying to push an incompetent candidate on the country; no, her real regret is that Kamala was exposed. 

Appalling. But hardly surprising.
