Tuesday on the View, host Whoopi Goldberg led a segment based off of the ridiculous question, "Is America becoming like the Taliban?" Whoopi referenced Monday’s show, where co-host Jedediah Bila talked about terrorists hating American values like freedom and democracy. Tuesday, Whoopi wondered if it was actually America who hated freedom and was trading it in for "Taliban values" with Trump in the White House.
WHOOPI: We keep hearing about terrorists hating about American values. We had this conversation yesterday. Let me ask you now, we have had a leader who's repeatedly demeaned women, wants to defund organizations that benefit women, calling on the media to shut up, specifically wants to give preferential treatment based on religion, are these values really much different than the Taliban’s? I mean --
[ Applause ]
With a puzzled look, co-host Jedediah Bila asked Whoopi if she meant “Trump’s values” since she was referencing things he’s done in office.
BILA: You're talking about Trump's a values..?
Whoopi reiterated, “The values that we are listening to,” to which Behar piped up in agreement, “They’re doing the same thing [as the Taliban]!”
Bila shot back with the obvious:
BILA: There's a difference between Taliban who's beheading people and chopping heads and a American president who may has policies you disagree with or may be saying things you disagree with.
WHOOPI: But if he says, ‘I don't like what you did,’ you're fired.
BILA: That's different than chopping off people’s heads
Whoopi conceded it was “different” but she still “felt like” telling the media to “shut up” was the “start” of America becoming like the Taliban:
WHOOPI: It is, but listen, if you're saying to the media shut up -- that's what they do. Maybe they didn't start out chopping people's heads off, maybe they started out differently. I'm asking it, it feels like it's tricky. Because we're saying to people, here are our American values and then we're saying on the same token stuff that sounds like the stuff we're fighting. So that’s why I pose the question.
Co-host Joy Behar then brought her favorite scapegoat, the Republican party, into the discussion.
BEHAR: My question then is, are Trump's values different from the Republican party's values because I don't see them objecting to any of this--
After Bila noted that several Republicans had objected to the immigration order, she reiterated that what the President does or says about women or refugees isn’t why Americans voted for him.
BILA: [I] don't think that Trump making comments that are horrific about women is representative of the way the United States at heart feels about women….They voted for taxes, and they voted for health insurance plans and they voted for wanting to keep more of their hard-earned cash. I don’t think they voted for what he said about women.
Behar responded by snarking:
BEHAR: So grab a woman by the genitals, stop the press from talking, is worth the low taxes?
Whoopi tried to further her ‘Taliban’ analogy again, claiming that Trump wanted America to have “one religion.”
WHOOPI: That brings me back to this question, it brings me back to the question, so the question is, when you put some of these things side by side what kind of religion you're supposed to have, you're supposed to have one religion --
BILA: People don't see it as that, they don’t accept that premise.
HOSTIN: Those are un-American values
WHOOPI: When he says this there's preferential treatment for Christians forgetting all the other religions out there--
BILA: You mean for the refugee program, is that what you’re talking about?
WHOOPI: I’m talking about any time --executive---
BILA: There's a reason for that, because in that country, in Syria, Christians are the minority religion
Later on Whoopi reiterated again, “Nobody tells our media to shut up and just take it. That’s how they do it, the Taliban.”
Hostin ended the segment with an emotional rant about how this temporary ban was changing the entire reputation of America for the worse:
HOSTIN: He's supposed to be the President of the United States of America! He's supposed to reflect the very American values that so many of us have. When you’re talking about America, the Bastion of peace, the place you could go when you were tired and you were weak and you were persecuted, you can't do it anymore. How is that an American value?
It’s not a sense of humor that they have, it’s a hell-bent-for-leather, by-any-means-necessary mode that they’re in.
They open their mouths and ‘stupid’ comes out.
“wants to defund organizations that benefit women”
No, wants to defund organizations that reward those who choose to have casual sex, by killing the results of their one night stands, while making you and me pay for it.
Is that about it?
Whoopi is so dumb, dumb as rocks. When not acting while reading lines created by other people, she spouts gibberish. Such as when she was on an international awards show, she complained that NASA is a big waste, and nothing useful ever came out of going to outer space. While the show was broadcasting internationally via satellites. When it was mentioned that the show would be impossible without satellites, she has a goofy grin. Dumb as a barnyard chicken.
Does she realize Taliban are Muslim?
You know who is dumber than Whoopee? Ted Danson who tapped into that.
Now here is a woman who knows her world history. Oy.
I don’t think she is smart enough to connect the Taliban to Islam or terrorism to Muslims. She can’t tell you that the Orlando nightclub terrorist was a Muslim, but she can tell you that he used an “assault weapon” nor can she tell you what an “assault weapon” is.
Maybe Forrest Gump started out like Whoopi.
Maybe Hitler started out like the Taliban, took and left turn and turned into Whoopi.
She’s still here? I thought she was moving to Canada.
Fckn losers! The whole lot.
Whoopi and her progressive lunatics, infecting peoples’ minds for decades.
Since the libs love regulation, I hope DJT regulates Hollyweird and the MSM right out of their alleged minds.
You could put Whoopi’s entire knowledge of politics and put it in a thimble and still have room for a finger...
"When he says this there's preferential treatment for Christians forgetting all the other religions out there."
The Christians get "preferential treatment" by these radical Islamic terrorists. They get their heads chopped off and their women and girls raped and sold into sex slavery. I would think we would do something for these human beings targeted for genocide irregardless of what religion they were.
Thankfully, I don’t know anyone who wastes their time watching that stupid show.
I have no idea how or why it remains on the air, but that it does, is absolutely frightening.
Is there anyone stupider, or looks more imbecilic, than “Whoopi”? What a poor excuse for a mind...and to think that she has media time and the right to free speech of inane thought is absolutely stunning. I don’t know if it is worse to look at her or listen to her...Either way, taking her opinion seriously is a walking joke!
And maybe Whoopi started out like a lying crack addict.
She boasted on ABC’s The Shrew that the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked (this was her remark at the 40th anniversary of that accomplishment).
Whoopi had 6 or 7 abortions. She said that they were all very difficult decisions to make yet she’s forgotten just how many of them she had. That is, if she didn’t lie about it.
Under Obama the muslims got preferential treatment (98% of the refugees were muslim and the Christians were denied amnesty).
