Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife Martha-Ann Alito had an unlikely ally after they were secretly recorded by a liberal activist: The View co-host Sunny Hostin.
The View spent a segment covering the newly released recording by Lauren Windsor, a journalist and documentary filmmaker, who portrayed herself to the Alitos and other conservative figures as one of their own in order to draw out some very candid personal opinions.
And while the co-hosts were not thrilled with what the Alitos had to say — including a seeming desire to bring the country back to “a place of godliness” — Hostin was “uncomfortable” with the nature of the recording, which took place last year without the Alitos’ knowledge.
Co-host Joy Behar was also not totally keen on the recording, likening it to Project Veritas, a conservative operation that made similar recordings that targeted the left. But Hostin went as far as calling Windsor’s recording a “hitjob”:
Hostin: I’m extremely disappointed at what I heard. But I also am not comfortable with snippets of tape recordings without consent, being taken out of context. … It is legal if there’s a one-party consent state, and this was done in [Washington, DC], which it is a one-party consent district. My problem is this happens to us at the table all the time. We have a full on conversation, someone takes a clip of what we say, they blow it out of proportion —
Whoopi Goldberg: Do you think that’s what was here? You think this was blown out of proportion?
Hostin: I didn’t hear everything. And so I’m uncomfortable with this sort of hitjob.
