It\u2019s been two weeks since Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty of murder, and the lies keep rolling out.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf in April of 2025, plunging a 3-and-a-half-inch blade into his heart at a school track meet in Frisco, Texas. Austin, who was 17, died in the arms of his twin brother, Hunter. Anthony even admitted to a cop at the scene that he was the one who did it.<\/p>\n

At trial, Anthony claimed self-defense, but a jury rejected it. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not good enough for Sunny Hostin of \u201cThe View,\u201d who always sees the world through a racial lens. Now she is clinging so tightly to the fantasy that Anthony was denied a fair trial because our country has a two-tiered system.<\/p>\n

Yup, on Monday, she propped up her argument on a pedestal of outright falsehoods. Did this lady even read one single article about the trial?<\/p>\n

First off, Hostin said Anthony was not judged by a jury of his peers because there were no black people on the jury. But a peer does not mean shared skin color.<\/p>\n

To quote the old lady in that gem of an Esurance commercial, \u201cThat\u2019s not how this works. That\u2019s not how any of this works.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Hostin argued: \u201cYou\u2019re supposed to have a jury of your peers. And you\u2019re not supposed to just strike someone because they\u2019re black.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, potential black jurors were reportedly struck because they admitted they could not be impartial or were educators who come with some level of insight into how a school event might function.<\/p>\n

Hostin then told a whopper about the victim and assailant\u2019s weight disparities. She claimed that Metcalf, who weighed 200 pounds, was far more physically imposing that poor wee Anthony, weighing in at a mere 130.<\/p>\n

Look, I never worked at a carnival guessing people\u2019s weights, but Anthony was obviously much larger than that.<\/p>\n

His online recruitment profiles list his height as 5-foot-11 and weight as 162 pounds.<\/p>\n

The facts be damned, Hostin needed to recast Anthony as a meek victim, removing agency from him.<\/p>\n

Witnesses testified that Anthony had provoked Metcalf, saying, \u201cTouch me and see what happens\u201d before pulling the murder weapon from his bag. If he was so frightened of Metcalf, why didn\u2019t he just walk away when he was asked to leave? And then grab an adult? <\/p>\n

Instead, he met a shove with a deadly stab. Why did he even have a weapon at a school event?<\/p>\n

Hostin also falsely claimed Anthony was the lone black person under Metcalf\u2019s team\u2019s tent when the stabbing happened. But other black students present testified for the prosecution.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, Hostin was actually a federal prosecutor. And like Rep. Jasmine Crockett \u2014\u00a0who is also an attorney and who has also spread outright lies about this story \u2014 Hostin was willfully engaging in falsehoods to bolster her race case.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sad state of affairs that a teenager murdered at a track meet has become the punching bag for cynical media figures.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give Hostin this. She and her \u201cView\u201d crew aren\u2019t as bad as the ghouls posting AI images of themselves urinating on Metcalf\u2019s grave. Nor are they as depraved as the disgusting teens on TikTok doing the \u201cAustin Bop\u201d, where they dance around pretending to stab themselves in the heart.<\/p>\n

However, she is still giving these cretins the fuel to dehumanize Metcalf \u2014 and the material to build a fictional narrative that he was some brute bully who got what he deserved.<\/p>\n

Hostin so desperately wants to be a story about race, when it\u2019s really a two-part tragedy. One innocent boy unnecessarily lost his life at the hands of another boy who has terrible emotional regulation and impulse control. Perhaps we can blame his parents, whose first order of business was to hire a felon as a family representative. That guy immediately played the race card.<\/p>\n

With the exception of Anthony\u2019s mother telling the jury, her son was \u201csorry,\u201d no one from their camp has expressed any remorse. As soon as he was found guilty, his family split from the courtroom.<\/p>\n

This is all unfolding as team of pro-bono attorneys have assembled to work on Anthony\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Austin\u2019s father, Jeff, who was under a gag order until the end of the trial, is finally free to speak. He\u2019s mourning one son and comforting his other \u2014\u00a0a kid who held his twin brother as he bled out. He\u2019s fighting lies about his precious slain boy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a heavy lift to have to correct the record of idiots on the internet, never mind ABC talent \u2014 which is supposedly bound by standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople had their own opinions without even seeing the facts, and that\u2019s the part I have trouble with,\u201d Jeff told Fox News\u2019 Will Cain Monday.<\/p>\n

The father has challenged \u201cThe View\u201d to put him on the air. But no one is holding their breath.<\/p>\n
