'The View' Co-Host Hostin: "A Woman's Word Is Enough" To Prosecute Sexual Assault
Real Clear Politics ^ | October 11, 2018 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 10/13/2018 1:13:25 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

'The View' co-host and attorney Sunny Hostin, arguing against due process, said on Thursday's show that "a woman's word is enough" and that she has taken cases to trial based on a woman's testimony and no witnesses. She said you don't need a witness, all you need is "someone's truth."

Hostin celebrated the progression of how the law treats sexual assault: "We finally said a woman's word is enough."

"I've taken many cases to trial with just a woman's word," Hostin said to applause. "And now you have the First Lady of the United States telling women everywhere your word is not enough. I think it does so much damage, and quite frankly, that isn't the law."

"You don't need a witness. You don't need forensic evidence. You need someone's truth, and we heard Dr. Ford's truth," Hostin celebrated.

HOSTIN, 'THE VIEW' CO-HOST: We finally said a woman's word is enough. I've taken many cases to trial with just a woman's word. [ Applause ] And now you have the First Lady of the United States telling women everywhere your word is not enough. I think it does so much damage, and quite frankly, that isn't the law...

Testimony is evidence! You don't need corroborating evidence. You don't need a rape kit. You don't need witnesses because oftentimes, guess what? There are no witnesses during rape! When you're talking about evidence, testimonial evidence is the very best in the system! ...

And the law is very clear that testimonial evidence, a woman standing there taking an oath and saying this happened to me is enough. You don't need a witness. You don't need forensic evidence. You need someone's truth, and we heard Dr. Ford's truth.

And what about the mans word? What about his testimony?

Everyone who spends any time alone needs bodycams and a recording device running on their phone.

Whackadoos like this woman are the reason why.

Any time I hear a phrase like "someone's truth" taken seriously, it worries me. The left no longer even pretends that objective truth exists.

I guess it don’t mean jack these days, unless it’s a left wing, liberal, socialist, pinko commie geek, POS, MoFo, like slick Willie. Ever wonder why I picked an Asian blow up doll? 😁👍😂😊🤣

"someone's truth"

The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." ~Ronald Reagan

Dr. Ford didn’t get reaped. Dr Ford didn’t tell the truth. Yet. truth is a good reason. Truth is why K prevailed.

Look up Sherita Dixon Cole, the black woman that accused the white trooper of rape after he pulled her over for drunk driving. After all the civil rights losers got involved and were calling for the cops head, they released the body cam. Cop was a complete gentleman the whole time. This was recently in Texas. The body cam video is on youtube.

IOW Emmet Till was guilty. The Scottsboro Boys were guilty. Atticus Finch was the villain in To Kill A Mockingbird. And the lynch mob were the heroes.

The biggest liar I’ve ever known was female...and a true sociopath.

She lied so naturally not unlike Comrade Killary - both are examples of real evil.
