“He does not get coerced by other nations, like Israel,” she stated.

“Really?! OK!” Sunny Hostin retort with a large grin. “If that helps you sleep at night, that’s great.”

This guy, Kent, can be a horrible person, and I believe he is anti-Semitic,” Hostin stated. “But you have the top ranking Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee saying ‘I didn’t support Kent’s nomination,’ yet I’m glad he’s willing to acknowledge the truth. There was no imminent threat to the United States.'”
