Staten Island leaders demanded Whoopi Goldberg apologize for falsely claiming a Big Apple bakery refused to serve her sweet treats because of her lefty politics — as the family-run business was inundated with orders.
“The View” co-host sparked widespread outrage this week when she alleged that the beloved 145-year-old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island declined to make her a batch of Charlotte Russe desserts due to her political beliefs.
“Recently someone took to the national airwaves and defamed, frankly, this family business,” borough president, Vito Fossella, fumed at a news conference held outside the bakery on Friday.
“We’re here to stand up for one of the best families and businesses, not just in Staten Island but in the country.
“Frankly, the people who defamed the Holtermann family should apologize … for making stuff up to suit their needs. Not everybody wakes up every day and thinks about politics,” he added.
The bakery has insisted they were having mechanical issues with their 60-year-old boiler when Goldberg initially tried to place the Nov. 13 order so she could celebrate her 69th birthday on-air — and that her political beliefs had nothing to do with it.
Now, in the wake of Goldberg’s disparaging remarks, owner Jill Holtermann said they’ve been flooded with orders from across the country.
“I really am overwhelmed,” Holtermann told The Post. “I’m so happy to have the support. Just to have people come out and talk and build up my business.”
The owner said she’s had people calling up from as far as Alabama and Tennessee so they can donate orders of baked goods to nearby schools and first responders in a bid to drum up business.

Why is Whoopi in New York? She was to have fled the U.S. a long time ago. Head for the DPRK, sweetcheeks, and have a North Korean baker make you some rice cakes with sawdust frosting.
How do you know when Whoopi, and any other democRAT, is lying?
Yes...... Their lips are moving.
How do you make Whoopi?
Small brain + large mouth + oversized ego = Whoopi.

I see no comparison at all.
Today’s liberals don’t apologize. Instead they deflect. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Right Brother is correct. A defamation lawsuit is appropriate here. No, it’s mandatory. Slap Whoopi Goldberg. Slap her hard.
Legally speaking, of course.
It won’t be just Whoopi but the network that hosts The Spew can be sued as well. what is that ABC? The lawyers will go after them as well.
Not having the money didn’t help Alex Jones much. Whoopi can handle a $1.5 billion settlement :D
Actually, I think you have it wrong, my dear... America needs to be rid of the Spew.
Goldberg is nasty to guests and to conservatives and now this bakery. She should be fired for being so nasty.
,,, the community bakery produces value and long hours are involved to do it. Goldberg has an attitude and an octopus hair do - she’s an angry “comedian” who needs to watch real comedians to get an idea of what’s needed to claim she’s a comedian. Rule a line under this event and give her no more publicity.
“America needs to be rid of the Spew. “
That too
I hope Trump hears of this and orders from them for the inauguration party
If Alex Jones can be financially ruined by his words, Whoopi Goldberg can and should be hit with major damages from what she said.
Great idea......Trump should have the bakers as WH guests, as well.
I must be missing something. If they couldn’t handle the large order for Whoopie, how did she get the little cakes? Didn’t she wind up getting the cakes? What am I not getting?
Up yours Whoopi!
let’s see.... the poll workers got 1 billion from Guillani for ‘disparagement’...the Bakery should get an equal sum from Whoopie..fair’s fair
