If you have ever watched ‘The View,’ you know that Sunny Hostin, one of the co-hosts, has spoken in favor of reparations and other progressive social justice initiatives.

This week it was revealed that she appeared on the PBS Find Your Roots program with Henry Louis Gates Jr. and learned that she is descended from slave owners.

FOX News reports:

‘View’ host Sunny Hostin stunned to learn her ancestor was a slaveholder: ‘That’s disappointing’

“The View” host Sunny Hostin was shocked to discover her family’s hidden history in a new episode of the PBS documentary show “Finding Your Roots.”

The documentary show researches prominent figures’ family histories through historical records and DNA testing. On Tuesday’s episode, show host Henry Louis Gates Jr. revealed one of Hostin’s ancestors on her maternal side was likely involved in the slave trade in colonial Spain.

Her third great-grandfather also “owned at least one human being,” he said.

Hostin, whose mother is Puerto Rican and father is Black, confessed the revelation left her “in shock.”

“Wow, I’m a little bit in shock. I just always thought of myself as half Puerto Rican. I didn’t think my family was originally from Spain and slaveholders,” she said.

Hostin shared that her husband Manny’s family is also from Spain, so they have that in common.

“I think it’s actually pretty interesting that my husband and I have shared roots, so I do appreciate that, and I think it’s great for our children to know this information. I guess it’s a fact of life that this is how some people made their living, on the backs of others,” she continued.

Watch her reaction below:

Hostin later said that she still believes in reparations.

Greg Gutfeld of FOX News and his guests had a ball with this on his show. Watch:

The left wants so badly to use this issue for political gain, but as this turn of events illustrates, history is much more complicated than many people realize.
