On a recent episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg ignited a firestorm after making a bold and controversial claim about President Donald Trumpโs alleged intentions if re-elected. โHeโs going to deport, and you put the white guy with someone else!โ Goldberg exclaimed during the heated discussion. โThe man is out there!” Whoopiโs remarks quickly lit up social media with backlash from critics who felt she had gone too far, or simply lost touch altogether.
Many viewers expressed outrage, with one calling her โcompletely bat-crap crazy,โ while another wrote, โWhoopi Goldberg has lost her mind. She should be in a mental asylum, not on TV.โ Others didnโt hold back either, with comments like โMe thinks that Whoopi is the one who’s out there, not Trump,โ and โSomeone’s out there, thatโs for sure.โ
Some took it even further, writing, โNot gonna lie. Iโd like to see Whoopi deported,โ and, โIs she being dosed before every show for entertainment value?โ Others mocked her intelligence, comparing her unfavorably to inanimate objects and animals, โMy 1970s pet rock is smarter than Whoopi Goldberg,โ and โMy dog, Bella, was smarter than Whoopi Goldberg.โ
While Goldberg has long been known for her outspoken views, this latest round of commentary appears to have struck a nerve, especially among conservative viewers who see The View as politically biased and increasingly inflammatory.
This Isnโt Whoopi Goldberg’s First Trump Feud
Goldberg is no stranger to controversy, especially when it comes to Donald Trump. Over the years, she has repeatedly criticized the president on The View, often using harsh language to describe him and his supporters.
In 2016, during Trumpโs presidential campaign, Goldberg vowed to leave the country if he was elected. She later walked back the comment but remained one of his most vocal celebrity critics.
In 2018, she made headlines after getting into a shouting match with former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro on The View, reportedly telling Pirro to โget the f-ck out of this buildingโ off-camera after a segment that turned personal and political. She has also accused Trump of fueling racism and white supremacy during his time in office, saying in 2019, โHe doesnโt care about the people who arenโt like him.โ
Goldbergโs recent claim struck a particular nerve among conservative viewers, many of whom are now calling for her removal from the long-running ABC talk show. As of now, Goldberg has not issued a statement in response to the backlash, and The View has yet to comment on the controversy.
