White privilege? Let's talk celebrity privilege.

Sunny Hostin of ABC's The View — who I consider one of America's premier race hustlers — reportedly used the 'Don't you know who I am?' card after police cited her son for trespassing.

Gabriel Hostin is 24 years old. He attended the elite Ethical Culture Fieldston School in New York City and graduated from Harvard last May.

Six days ago, Sunny took to Instagram to announce that Gabriel has been accepted at Columbia and is preparing to enter medical school.

In other words: Gabriel is an extremely smart, sophisticated man in his mid-20s. Why is his mommy running interference for him?

This story, as otherwise unreported in much of the left-leaning media: On June 16, Gabriel was seen jogging along train tracks in New Rochelle, in violation of 'no trespassing' signs, which he claims he didn't see.

When stopped by police — clearly, this is a safety issue — Gabriel seemingly had the same indignation: Did these officers not know who his mother was? That she is an actual television personality?

'No one is above the law,' is one of Sunny's favorite refrains — always when it comes to President Trump.

'No one is above the law,' is one of Sunny's favorite refrains - always when it comes to President Trump.

As a former federal prosecutor — which we can never forget, because Sunny reminds us constantly on her terrible show — shouldn't Sunny have intellectual fidelity to that idea?

Or does her declaration apply only to Republicans?

It seems so. After all, she said on The View that despite a rape claim against then-Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner (which he has denied), he would still have her support.

'If I lived in Maine, I would have plugged my nose and would have voted for him anyway,' she said. 'I think we are in a time of existential crisis in this country.'

Code for Trump.

So, in Sunny's confused, illogical worldview, the allegations of sexual assault against Donald Trump make him unfit for office, but Graham Platner would still have her vote?

Got it.

Back to last month's incident with her son.

By Sunny's own report, Gabriel — jogging in a wealthy community, where his parents recently sold their 11,000-square-foot estate once known as Meadow Farm for $3.3million — called his mother immediately so police could speak with her.

When she got on the phone, sources claimed to the New York Post that she asked if they were aware of who she is.

'I am Sunny Hostin, I am on The View,' she allegedly followed up.

HA! As if that's something to be proud of.

Then she rushed over to the scene. 'I arrived at the location within minutes,' Hostin wrote in a letter to the district attorney — identifying herself not as Gabriel's mother but as his lawyer. She is asking the DA to drop the citation.

Gabriel Hostin wasn't arrested. There is zero accusation here that he was racially profiled — and that's huge, because Sunny loves to racialize anything and anyone she can.

'I'm discriminated against when I seek housing,' Hostin told CNN five years ago, while promoting her book, I Am These Truths.

What a title.

She went on: 'I am not distinguishable just because I am quote-unquote successful.'

If 'don't you know who I am?' isn't a question asked by someone who believes she is 'distinguishable', I don't know what is.

If her reported annual salary of somewhere between $1.6 and $2million to spout her aggrieved nonsense on The View — along with speaking gigs and lucrative book deals, plus her vacation home on Martha's Vineyard and her summers spent rolling around the Hamptons with that other race hustler, Don Lemon — if all those things don't make her 'distinguishable', what does?

If America is so racist and awful, how is it that little Sunny Hostin, born to teenage parents and, by her own account, raised in the South Bronx in poverty, grew up to become a famous multimillionaire?

Race, in my opinion, is the only story she's got. Otherwise, she's just not that interesting.

Sunny stops short of mentioning her son's race here. Instead, she notes his 'distinguishing factors' in her letter to the DA:

'My client is a 2025 Harvard University graduate with no criminal history or prior contact with the criminal justice system.'

So? He was trespassing.

Honestly, if I were this DA, I'd refuse to drop the charge on principle. Sunny Hostin reportedly tried using her fame, such as it is, to stop police from giving her son a citation.

Maybe it'll be a good thing for him — because instead of dealing with the police like a grown man, he dropped her name, got her on the phone, and reportedly insisted that the cops deal with her, even if she is now acting as his lawyer.

A crime really was committed here, alright. And that crime consists of six little words: Don't you know who I am?
