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.

I say that ultra-scumbag Whoopi “Diddy” Goldberg should ne lawyering up right about now. I hope the bakery owners take her for every penny she’s worth.
People are fed up with the crap the left is selling. The sugar is off the donut. Whoopi needs to be fired.
like i said
i smell big sales in their future
thanks whoopi
you cant buy that kind of advertising
he should stop by and say hello
i live down the block.
We’re going there tomorrow to buy pastries.
It’s not Italian but it has good stuff and we want to support it.
Another case of the wealthy, powerful elite trying to destroy the little man.
Agreed. Socialism is great for weight loss.
She knows Sony’s question was the end of idiot Kamala.
It’s actually possible that this time her big fat mouth could be the impetus for making big changes at the network, including cancelling this vile show. She overstepped; they always do.
Sounds like not only does she not have any damages, but that Whoopi shuould get a cut of the profits.
Another dumpster fire for Disney...
Goody.
I wish the View would collapse. They are worthy successors to Barbara Walters- another liberal.
Who gives a shxt what some fugly washed up liberal says? She’s as irrelevant as the people that watch the View are.
I do believe the bakery should sue the skank for defamation but they may lose when it’s proven business actually improved.
I think she’s leaving to start up an all women’s sports network.
If true, I think the only sport that might get substantial viewership is the women’s pro beach volleyball.....LOL!

Should be interesting to see how many biological male trannys end up on that “network”.
