"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg incorrectly fact-checked a guest about a famous moment when President Ronald Reagan challenged the Soviet Union.
Actress Rosie Perez was comparing former President Trump’s years in office to the Biden-Harris administration, arguing that Trump was a national embarrassment during his tenure in the White House and the crises he faced.
"Biden and Harris got us out of a pandemic. Our world was crumbling around us. What did Trump do on the pandemic? He sent COVID tests that we desperately needed over to our adversary, to Russia. What happened?" she asked. "Even if you are a true Republican, don’t you remember? ‘Tear down this wall.’ Reagan was clear about who our enemy was, and still is."
She had been referring to Reagan’s famous challenge in 1987 amid the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. On that day, Reagan stood 100 yards away from the concrete wall dividing East and West Berlin, challenging the Russian-born Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev by saying, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." While the Berlin Wall was in East Germany, at the time it was a satellite state on the border of the Soviet Union and the West.

Decades ago, Carolyn Johnson gave herself the stage name Whoopi with a fake Jewish last name Goldberg. Maybe she believes she’s supposed to have an automatic hatred for Germans.
“Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
“Germans?”
“Forget it, Whoopi’s on a roll.”
The only like a Republican Maybe a little after he’s passed for a while.
The Great One is one of their favorites...long enough ago for the youth not to remember and old enough ago to think they are making those who do remember feel good.
I NEVER feel good when a D uses Ronald Reagan for nefarious purposes.
They shouldn’t even say His name.
Good Lord. Idiot.
Caryn, actually. (Alternate spelling of “Karen”, ironically.)
If she wasn't so fat and lazy, and full of herself, she might pick a book or two up, and educate herself on history. She chooses to be ignorant.
There are so very many lies the democrats sling, hard to keep track.
1 Reagan knew Russia was the real enemy - yeah and Hilary gave them the “reset” button and said we were stupid to oppose Russia.
2 Russia invaded Ukraine under Obama and Biden, didn’t try it under Trump.
3 Trump did everything imaginable on covid including things many here oppose.
Biden got rid of covid? I can’t think of a thing he did, that wasn’t started by Trump.
Basically, they stopped counting the dead because a democrat took over.
Democrats are not good people, and they excel at lying.
Whoopi The Hutt
The stupid is burning today.
🤔
Yay just figuring that fact out?
remember Obama told the president of Russia he would be more flexible after the 2012 election season was over.
Whoopi really is stupid
Whoppi, deliberately or naively (ignorantly), oretends the Soviet Union exercised no controlling inflence in East Germany. That ignorance would have one believe that if East Germany wanted to tear down the Berlin Wall, the Soviets would (a) not object or (b) stop them. In fact, the Soviets would have replaced any East German government that took the Berlin Wall down woithout their consent.
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg incorrectly fact-checked.
That’s what the entire program is about trying to rewrite history.
I don’t know how anyone can even watch a show like that—which only offers stupidity, anger and hate.
Thank goodness for towering intellects like Whoopsie Goldberg to tell the childless carpet ladies who watch her show of aging yentas what to think about US foreign policy.
That was supposed to say “cat ladies” but it’s actually pretty much the same thing.
Ya know what I mean?
