"The View" host Whoopi Goldberg announced Monday that she plans to quit Twitter after billionaire Elon Musk's takeover but said she might come back if she feels "comfortable."

"So it has been a little over a week since Elon Musk took over Twitter and the place, it’s a mess… He also suspended Kathy Griffin for impersonating him on a parody account, which has started a FreeKathy hashtag to trend. I’m — I’m getting off. I’m getting off today because I just feel like, you know, it’s so messy," Goldberg said.

Goldberg said she was tired of "attitudes" that have been blocked and are now back on the site.

"I’m going to get out, and if it settles down and I feel more comfortable, maybe I’ll come back," she said. "But as of tonight, I’m done with Twitter."

"Some speech is not OK free speech," she said of the debate over what constitutes protected speech. "You know what? This is our problem, but it ain't my problem today, because I'm out."

Goldberg rarely tweets, but the acclaimed actress and entertainer still has over 1 million followers.

"To everyone, Thanks for everything!" she wrote on Monday after the show. "Until we meet again! Love, Whoop."

Co-host Sunny Hostin said a lot of people felt this way about Twitter since Musk had taken over. Hostin said, "you’ve got this Elon Musk turning it into something that it was never intended to be. It’s going to be the public square. Well I don’t want to be part of that public square, but I also don’t want to miss the valuable information that can be put on there."

[cdcdawg]

It’s probably difficult to consume those 15k calories a day when Twitter distracts her.

If Twitter actually allows alternative opinions, then leftists need to be worried. There’s a lot of cancelled people that don’t or can’t voice their opinions. More importantly, they haven’t been responding or countering leftist opinion for fear of being canceled. The latter is critical. Goldberg might see the writing on the wall that a world of ridicule is about to be unleashed and seen by ignorant followers of Goldberg.

Personally, I jumped the gun over the weekend and created a Twitter account before algorithms had been changed. My account was suspended immediately after my second Tweet. I might try again one Elon has his codebase fixed.

Wow. That picture shows what must be at least a 350 pound Whoopie.

The talking heads once fretted about “right wing echo chambers”, but when conservatives try to enter the public conversation, our self-proclaimed betters want to kick us out, or take their ball and go home.

[boxlunch]

Yuck! Does anyone care? No, I didn’t think so!

[Baldwin77]

How very nice that she can make that choice. We conservatives did not have a choice to make, we were thrown out.

[BigEdLB]

Bye bye

[Preachin']

She has no one to protect her now...

[petitfour]

Well, bye!

And sure she is. lol. She’ll keep reading.

[ncfool]

Just curious if the door has hit her in her fat ass yet?

[sasquatch]

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

[Maris Crane]

Well, that will raise the collective IQ of Twitter users about three digets.

[Col Freeper]

Sorry Whupee, You can't leave.

There is just no door big enough to hit you on the way out.
