"NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Sunny Hostin is taking heat after declaring the United States a “failed experiment” during a heated segment on The View.

"The blunt remarks came as the daytime panel discussed patriotism, President Donald Trump, and how Americans should feel heading into the country’s 250th anniversary.

"‘Failed experiment’ remark shakes the table

"Hostin said her frustration runs deeper than any single administration.

"“Why I am conflicted about this country because I feel that it is at this point a failed experiment, quite frankly,” Hostin said. “I am also discouraged by how this country is viewed by the rest of the world.”

"The comments landed during a discussion about Trump’s plan to host a UFC event on the White House lawn as part of the upcoming 250th birthday celebrations.

"Hostin said her list of grievances was long and growing.

"'I’m embarrassed at our government,” Hostin said. “I’m embarrassed at our lack of healthcare. I’m embarrassed on the assault on the press. I’m embarrassed by our Congress. I’m embarrassed by the criminal felon president that is in the Oval Office that has a UFC cage on the White House lawn.”
