You would think that having a national television platform would cause one to think twice before making baseless accusations. But when you’re a host of The View, you’re allowed to make fact-free claims all the time. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg did that today on Wednesday’s show, claiming evangelical leaders don’t care enough about sex trafficking and pedophilia, while discussing the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Out of the blue, Whoopi blamed evangelicals for not calling out sexual predators like Epstein:
Do you know who I'm waiting to hear from? All those folks that are out there to talk about that they want to take care of young people and make sure young people are good. I just, you know, why isn't the evangelical community coming forward? Where is everybody? That was worrying me because I thought, well, one of the ways that you show that you care about people is you -- you come out and you condemn this kind of stuff, but, you know, and all the folks that I'm used to hearing talk about, you know, this one is bad or this is bad or this -- haven't said much, and I was just wondering where they were.
Co-host Meghan McCain tried to counter Whoopi. “I don't think evangelicals are okay with pedophilia,” she stated. But Whoopi wasn’t backing down.
“Have they said anything? I haven't heard from Jerry Fallwell Jr.,” Joy Behar snarked.
After McCain argued they shouldn’t “blame evangelicals,” Whoopi and Behar got defensive.
“No, no, no. I want to be very clear. I'm not blaming anybody,” Whoopi claimed. But McCain held her feet to the fire, reminding her she just did, claiming they didn’t “speak out enough.”
That made Whoopi attack Christians again, as only caring about abortion:
We have heard from the community and the voices of the community quite a bit about a lot of different things. How I want to deal with my body, how you want to see your kid, whether children should be where, and I have been waiting for them to say, and by the way, this isn't okay with us either.
“About the kids at the border too!” Behar added to the dogpile.
McCain pointed out that she was being political, and Epstein was a huge donor to Democrats, if she wanted to go there.
That riled up Whoopi who yelled, “This is my opinion! I'm just saying I would like to see some of the people that have been talking about all the ills in our country, I want to see them come out and say, yeah. This is one of them! Because it sounds like there’s no response!”
After McCain asked who they were wanting to hear from, Behar and Whoopi named Jerry Falwell Jr., Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham.
Whoopi clearly is ignorant to the many Christian charities and churches that help women and children who’ve been sex trafficked. Franklin Graham’s own charity, Samaritan’s Purse, directly helps in this very area.
Is the reason why you didn’t condemn them Gokdi is because they weren’t rape-rape?
Her prostate is acting up on her again. How come her followers aren’t condemning it? Huh?
Whoopi, we have been speaking out against pizzagate, pedogate and the Clinton’s and their friends for years. Where have you been?
This from someone who once claimed that God believed in abortion.
Woman in our town was so concerned she made a full-length feature motion picture about the subject a few years back (obviously her family had some money to invest in the project) - showed it locally and in film festivals around the country - wife saw it and said it involved Epstein, Menendez, Clinton and others - named names and places - she’s a Christian for sure - more involved, concerned, and active than I’ll wager Whoopi is......
But Epstein is Hollywoods and the Democrats Buddy, which by the way all the metoo crap was all proud progressive liberal DEMOCRATS
What church doesnt condemn sin?
JONTY YOU WIN THE INTERNET TODAY
Whoopi and her pals haven’t been listening. In fact, when they do hear us they call us intolerant and tell us to shut up.
There is no pleasing these people, so why try?
She once said “I wish my mom had had an abortion.” She also has had a few herself. Not the brightest nutcase on TV, in fact, one of the ugliest, and stupidest.
Whoopi has “spoken out” but Jerry Falwell, Jr. allegedly hasn’t. So what? It’s easy to “speak out,” as Whoopi proves five days a week. As the last line in the article points out, there are Christians, most of whom won’t make it on the news, who are busy working at fighting the problem. Not just “speaking out.” They are engaged in actual virtue, not just in virtue signaling.
I doubt these women ever watch Robertson or Falwell, so they have no idea what they have had to say.
Graham is very vocal, so they have to be ignoring him to make such a stupid statement.
Hey Whoopi, if you want to know what Graham is doing, follow him on Facebook. You will have an epiphany, if you’re honest with yourself.
I have a personal grudge against her for being an eye sore on Star Trek. True, all the actors were flaming liberals but it wasn’t overly obvious in the story lines. Until I had to watch Whoopi pretending to be this wise alien with lines like “Truth is in the eye of the beholder”. Ruined the series a little for me.
What rock has she been hiding under?
Like there’s no human trafficking in Hollyweird....
Whoopi spoke out on the Shrew 10 years ago to say that the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked (40th anniversary of the event)...
She’s a crack pot.
Is the reason why you didn’t condemn them whoopi is because they weren’t rape-rape?
Bingo. How dare Whoopi open her mouth!?
She is on camera saying Polanski drugging a 13 year old girl with alcohol and quaaludes, then sticking his penis into every orifice on her body
WASNT ACTUAL RAPE.
She should publicly be called on this.
I used to like her,
When she read words from a script.
But when the words coming out are hers,
She seems like a complete dip.
Epstein’s only hope:
So many evangelists pile on with their disapproval that Whoopi can say JE is a victim himself - harassed by intolerant Bible-thumpers.
“Sure he messed up, but now he’s suffering at the hands of holier-than-thou hypocrites....”
