Whoopi Goldberg defended House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after an attack ad juxtaposed her comments about stalling small business funding and her appearance on a late-night comedy show.
Goldberg and cohost Joy Behar appeared to claim that because the ice cream in Pelosi’s well-stocked freezer came from a small business, any argument that she was working against small businesses in Congress was invalid.
Goldberg began by airing the attack ad, which showed part of an interview Pelosi did for “The Late Late Show” with James Corden alongside her comments about stalling Republican efforts to pass a boost to the Paycheck Protection Program for small businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
“So, I want to point out that the ice cream she’s talking about actually comes from a small business,” Goldberg began. “I know that because I send this ice cream out to people, and she is one of the people that is fighting to make sure that small businesses are able to get the testing they need and the stuff that they need.”
Goldberg then turned to Behar, adding, “So Joy, you kind of feel like she’s being scapegoated here?”
“Of course. But I love that you just said that that’s a small business. That’s perfect,” Behar said, joining Goldberg in defending Pelosi. “You know, the Democrats are, in fact, fighting for more funding for hospitals as well as relief for small businesses for minorities and veterans, okay? That’s what the Democrats are fighting for, so this is just another distraction.”
Behar went on to argue that a similar glimpse into President Donald Trump’s kitchen might net similar results, saying that Pelosi’s only real misstep was in going on a comedy show in the first place.
“And may I just — a little piece of advice to Nancy and all these Democrats, don’t go on comedy shows,” she said. “They’re traps. They’re traps. They get you to say things there because you feel you’re being funny. Leave it to the professionals and don’t go on comedy shows. Come on our show.”
Which is now out of business.
This was a public relations disaster for Nancy with her “let them eat ice cream” moment.
...and the $24,000.00 fridge/freezer?
Can she be anymore transparent?
This is the same woman who asked John McCain if he was going to bring back slavery because he wuz an evil white Republican dude.
Whoopi just needs to STFU.
Okay. Maybe I missed it but did either one of them name the business in case others may want to support it?
She gets a MINUS-7 on the DIM-BULB scale!
This woman is industrial grade stupid.
Well she did have some Dove Bars in that freezer and those are made by Mars which is not a small business.
Perhaps Whoopi meant that a small business like a delivery type of business (personal shopper) brought the ice cream.
Seemed like all of the ice cream crammed in the freezer was from a large company at least it was all brand name. Nanci is a lot of things but cheap she is not. Only the best and most pensive for that lady.
Is anyone surprised? Really? These people will defend any democrat no matter what. Period. We are in a WAR for the direction of this country. Socialism/Communism or Freedom and The Constitution.
The problem we have is too many “republicans” either don’t realize it or, as the case of several “republicans” prefer to side with the dems and would likely be dems if it weren’t for the fact they are from districts or states that don’t vote dem.
Senator Burr is a Prime Example of this fact. As is Romney.
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams
Thank you. I’m going to order a case or two.
Read their page on Wikipedia. Seems it took this woman a long time to get the business off the ground. Talk about dedication! If you’re in Texas, you might want to check out her shops. They have them in Austin and Houston.
“there’s ice cream, and then there’s ice cream, ice cream”
“Jeni’s now operates 33 scoop shops in 10 cities, distributes prepacked pints to over 3,000 stores across the country, and ships anywhere in the US via their online e-commerce shop, surpassing more than $30 million in annual revenue (according to a recent interview on NPR’s How I Built This podcast).”
The left can twist themselves into knots defending the behavior of their KKKomrades.
They are such huge hypocrites. Remember, Whoopi, when your KKKomrades went NUTS over the audacity of your President Trump (love saying that) being served just two scoops of ice cream? Yet Pelousy has gallons of expensive gourmet ice cream in her $24k fridge and you brush it off as “helping the local business”.
Liberalism IS a mental disorder!!
Also the woman who said Jill Biden should be made Surgeon General if Joe wins because she's an awesome doctor.
Dear Congresswoman Pelosi,
I operate a small business and a need financial help: I sell B*llsh*t. If you send me $1000 cash plus $50 shipping and insurance, I’ll send you an empty box. Please hurry...I am running out of customers stupid enough to fall for my sales pitch.
