Whoopi Goldberg has had enough of Donald Trump. During the recent episode of ABC’s daytime talk show “The View,” aired on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, the all-female panelists discussed the upcoming presidential debate between Trump and current POTUS Joe Biden. Goldberg was visibly disgusted when she accidentally mentioned the Republican front-runner’s name.
Since Trump challenged his Democratic rival for a face-off before the November elections, he also demanded that Biden undergo a drug test. The hosts weighed in on the prospects of a debate with the boisterous Trump and what could potentially turn the tables for Biden, as per Daily Mail.
Goldberg carefully listened to her co-hosts and voiced her support for Biden, “I think it would be remiss of us to not say, ‘Joe Biden knows how to do this.’ He knows how to do this, he’s quite good at this.” Her comments then shifted gears to Trump, whom Goldberg never addresses by name. She continued, “You can’t refute anything with him because he just… when I say him I mean…”
Moderator Joy Behar interjected and completed Goldberg’s sentence, “Trump,” to which the Sister Act star accidentally repeated the name. Upon realizing her mistake, she leaned over and imitated spitting onto the floor in disgust. Co-host Sunny Hostin shockingly asked, “Did you say his name?”
Goldberg replied, “I said his name, it was a trick and it made me do it. I’m just saying that Biden knows what not to do. You can’t refute that man, because he just spins and spins and spins. All you can really do is talk about what you do and how you do what you do.”
Meanwhile, Behar suggested how Biden should navigate the 2024 presidential debate against Trump, “But he should do it like this… ‘while Trump was gargling Lysol, whatever he was drinking, I was fixing infrastructure. While Trump was doing A, B, and C, I was doing this.’ That way he gets to diss Trump and say what he did.” Former White House aide Alyssa Farah Griffin reminded viewers how Trump lied to the American public in 2020 about testing positive for COVID-19.
Goldberg, expressing her frustration, said, “Listen, I’m sick of this guy, I really am. I’m just sick of him,” as Behar echoed, “We all are.” The 68-year-old continued, “And all these other clowns who sit with him, I don’t know if you’re going to be here next year, I don’t want to think about you anymore.”
In a recent interview with TIME Magazine, Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, claimed there’s a growing “anti-white” sentiment in the United States and “that can’t be allowed.” Referring to his remarks, Goldberg hit back, “Nobody in your family was hung. Nobody in your family was chased because of the color of their skin. How dare you? There’s no anti-white issue here. You are perpetrating anti-humanist issues here.”
