There is a steady stream of leftists deleting their Twitter/X accounts since the election last week. Some of them are fleeing to alternative sites that don’t have anywhere near the reach of X.
Don Lemon was the most recent example, until now.
Sunny Hostin, one of the Trump-hating hosts on ‘The View’ has just deleted her account after getting blowback from other users for insulting white women over the outcome of the election.
The New York Post reports:
‘The View’ star Sunny Hostin deletes X account, goes after Elon Musk amid controversial ‘white women’ comments
She’s never been shy in sharing her opinion — but now Sunny Hostin has one less platform to do it on.
“The View” co-host has confirmed she deleted her X account in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential election win, saying she believes it was a “patriotic” act.
Hostin, 56, made the admission on the “Behind The Table” podcast earlier this week, saying she no longer wants to be associated with the site because it’s owned by avid Trump supporter Elon Musk.
“I think the most patriotic thing I could do right now is just to delete the account,” the avowed Democrat declared.
“Elon Musk took it over and I feel like he ruined it,” she stated of the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Black Twitter was a thing that I loved and it was sort of replaced… with miosognyn and racism.”
What a lame excuse.

These people may not realize it, but they are telling on themselves. They are admitting that their arguments cannot survive in the marketplace of ideas. Rather than admit that they are wrong, they take their ball and go home. It’s pathetic.
