Liberal ABC host Sunny Hostin took a surprising position on recently leaked audio of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife — and said that she did not like the out-of-context “hit-job” that Rolling Stone ran with as a result.

Hostin made the comments during Tuesday’s broadcast of “The View” during a discussion about Rolling Stone’s publication of the audio, arguing that she was concerned because the audio was apparently obtained through deception and secretly recorded.

In the released audio, liberal activist Lauren Windsor pretended to be a conservative in an effort to coax a more candid reaction when she recorded Martha Ann Alito’s comments — regarding, among other things, what she would like to do to push back while Pride Month saw her street inundated with rainbow flags and other such decor.

“I also am not comfortable with snippets of tape recordings without consent being taken out of context,” Hostin said in reaction. “I have listened — it is legal if it’s a one-party consent state, and this was done in D.C. and this is a one-party consent district.”

“My problem is, this happens to us at the table all the time,” she continued. “We have a full-on conversation, someone takes a clip of what we say, they blow it out of proportion —”

“Do you think this was blown out of proportion?” Whoopi Goldberg asked.

“I didn’t hear everything,” Hostin said. “So I’m uncomfortable with this sort of hit-job.”

Hostin and her co-hosts have previously been critical of the conservative justices on the Court — Alito in particular because he authored the decision that overturned the 1973 landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade.
