That’s not a rhetorical question, by the way. Seriously, it’s hard not to wonder how it’s possible that Whoopi Goldberg fancies herself to be an authoritative voice on current events. Quite frankly, I can’t understand how that happened. She says a lot of dumb things. Like on Monday, she went into hysterics about the archbishop of San Francisco banning Nancy Pelosi from Holy Communion in his diocese over her pro-abortion views. “The archbishop of San Francisco is calling for speaker Nancy Pelosi to be denied receiving Communion because of her pro-choice stance,” Goldberg noted. “This is not your job, dude....

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would not strip actor Will Smith of his best actor win because he slapped comedian Chris Rock during the Oscars. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “I was, you know, the slap heard around the world took away from this, but Questlove winning best documentary for his directorial debut of ‘Summer of Soul.’ I think Will Smith probably owes him an apology as well, but I think —

Whoopi Goldberg said Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that Republicans who criticize President Joe Biden’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine should answer for their support of former President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine. Goldberg introduced a clip montage Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) critiquing Biden.

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was acting like a “little girl” for interrupting President Joe Biden at his State of the Union address a night earlier. After playing a clip of Boebert, Goldberg said, “She doubled down on Twitter saying she couldn’t stay silent about this. I have to say, you’re probably about 35 years old, and maybe you don’t understand that a whole lot of folks over the last seven or eight years have been sent to their death for no good reason. Soldiers know what’s coming. They don’t...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-host Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that a majority on the right thinking that President Vladimir Putin was a strong leader contradicted not wanting the U.S. government to require wearing a mask as part of COVID restrictions. Tuesday on the Fox News Channel, Tucker Carlson said, “Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him?… Does he eat dogs? These are fair questions, and the answer to all of them is no. Vladimir Putin didn’t do any of that. So...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that since the presidency of Donald Trump, America has been “tipping towards the way the Taliban deals with stuff.” Goldberg said, “I got to say, you know, I told you all this when you-know-who got elected. Remember I said it feels like we could be tipping towards the way the Taliban deals with stuff. Do you remember what you said to me? ‘I would not go that far. This is America.’ And I believe — I know people don’t understand it, but I also believe that we are much stronger...

Columnist, author, and former presidential speech writer John Podhoretz criticized “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, whose real name is Caryn Johnson, for her controversial comments about Jews, race, and the Holocaust, urging the actress to “give up” the surname she “co-opted” and doesn’t “deserve.” Podhoretz said in a New York Post column published Tuesday that “performer Caryn Johnson” did not land on the last name “Goldberg” because it “signified ‘whiteness.'” Johnson chose Goldberg “because it would represent the proud ownership of her outsider status. She wasn’t trying to blend in. She was doubling down — on race.” Notably, the co-host...

Whoopi Goldberg, suspended for two weeks by ABC for her comments about the Holocaust, had an opinion. She, like many people these days, is unable to properly contextualize history or see it outside her own contemporary leftist worldview. But Goldberg is a talk show host with no power. No one is really "hurt" by her words. She should be able to express herself without fear of losing her job. As should Joe Rogan and Ilya Shapiro. That said, the slap on the wrist, probably intended to keep Goldberg out of the public eye to weather the storm, is also performative....

HELL—Reports are coming out from the fiery underworld that even Adolph Hitler—the fascist dictator who is responsible for starting World War II and killing 6 million Jews—was caught by surprise when he heard Whoopi Goldberg’s comments that the holocaust he started was “not about race.” “I was very explicit in my writings and speeches! I compared the Jews to rats and to germs! I appealed to social Darwinism and eugenics on a constant basis to justify everything I did for the master Aryan race! How could this Whoopi Goldberg not pick up what I was laying down!?” the mustachioed psychopath...

@BNONews Whoopi Goldberg suspended from 'The View' for 2 weeks after saying the Holocaust "isn't about race" - CNN

Whoopi Goldberg ‘is in deep s–t’ and should be fired, ABC insiders claim There is growing fury inside ABC over Whoopi Goldberg’s controversial Holocaust claims, with insiders insisting that her apology isn’t enough and demanding that she be fired. On Monday’s edition of “The View,” Goldberg, 66, alleged that the Holocaust was “not about race,” claiming Nazis and Jews were both white. She doubled down on the claim on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Monday after stating via Twitter, “I stand corrected.” However, sources tell Page Six that staffers and fellow hosts on “The View,” as well as...

ABC’s "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg declared the Holocaust was "not about race" despite the systematic killing of an estimated six million Jews, leading to sharp criticism of the outspoken liberal. The daytime gabfest was in the midst of a conversation about a Tennessee school district voting to remove a Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust from its curriculum due to "inappropriate language" and an illustration of a nude woman. "Maus" by Art Spiegelman tells the story of his Jewish parents living in 1940s Poland and depicts him interviewing his father about his experiences as a Holocaust survivor.

Leftists on “The View” took offense Monday to comedian Bill Maher, who dared to criticize the use of masks and other “silly” Covid-19 restrictions at this point in the pandemic. "It’s just gone on too long. Nobody cares anymore. I don’t want to live in your paranoid world anymore, your masked paranoid world,” he said on “Real Time With Bill Maher.” "You know, you go out, it’s silly now. You know, you have your mask, you have to have a card, you have to have a booster, they scan your head like you’re a cashier and I’m a bunch of...

Whoopi Goldberg pulled no punches Monday as she went off on comedian Bill Maher for saying he no longer wanted to live in a "paranoid world" when it came to the coronavirus pandemic. "I don’t want to live in your paranoid world anymore, your masked paranoid world. You know, you go out, it’s silly now, you know, you mask, you have to have a card, you have to have a booster, they scan your head. Like you’re a cashier, and I’m a bunch of bananas. I’m not bananas. You are," Maher told a laughing audience during his show "Real Time...

Host Whoopi Goldberg said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that black people were “where we were under the Emancipation Proclamation” while discussing voting rights with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Goldberg said, “You vowed to call a vote on major voting rights legislation in time for Martin Luther King Day next week. I just want – I want to ask you this because it’s irritating me to the nth degree. Why are we still talking about my right as an American to vote?”

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has sent the message “it’s OK to shoot White people too.” Goldberg said, “All eyes are on Wisconsin after lawyers made closing arguments on whether 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse traveling across state lines to take up arms before killing two men and wounding a third during a night of social justice protests and unrest were acts of self-defense or was it vigilante murder?”

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that she believes the rioters on January 6 at the U.S. Capitol would have “hung” the vice president if they found him. Goldberg said, “We’ve been celebrating you-know-who being out of the office. We’re celebrating that he’s not in office since the election, but he’s still not. He’s still mad. He’s still complaining. He still thinks he won. ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl released interview audio for his new book ‘Betrayal’ where he asked about January 6th rioters threatening to kill the former vice president. Take a listen.

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-host Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Dr. Anthony Fauci is the “sexist Doctor” while discussing “People Magazine” naming actor Paul Rudd the “Sexist Man Alive.” Goldberg said, “So apparently, People Magazine has announced their Sexiest Man Alive of 2021, Actor Paul Rudd, now he says plenty of people are more deserving than him but adds that he can’t wait to be invited to some of those sexy dinners with Clooney and Pitt and Michael B. Jordan.
