‘The View ‘Explodes as Meghan McCain Battles Sunny Hostin on Assange Arrest: ‘I Hope He Rots in Hell!’

‘I think what you said was just straight propaganda, just so we’re clear’

EXCERPT:

McCAIN: "I hope he rots in hell."
HOSTIN: "Can I weigh in?"
McCAIN: "Yeah."
HOSTIN: "I think if you have a problem with Julian Assange and what he released in terms of national security, then you need to have a problem with the Pentagon papers, the Panama papers, you need to have a problem with the Iraq and Afghanistan war logs being released. Because those items being released I think protected our democracy. The reason the Obama Administration and Eric Holder decided — not to punt, but decided that our Constitution protected Julian Assange is because our Constitution does protect Julian Assange."
McCAIN: "I'm sorry, I have to push back hard."
HOSTIN: "You can push back after I’m finished speaking. The Constitution protects freedom of the press. It’s our First Amendment to the Constitution. I believe it’s our most important amendment. It’s very clear that the Constitution protects information, investigative journalism, even if that information is gotten illegally, even if the information is matter of national security."
McCAIN: "I think what you said was just straight propaganda."
HOSTIN: "If the law is propaganda, I’m sorry."
