Whoopi Goldberg's Stand Against Humor in Politics: No Laughing Matter!
THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN: WHOOPING GOLDBERG ROASTS THE VIEW AUDIENCE OVER TRUMP AND NEWSOM FEUD
In a scorching hot exchange that left fans of The View gagging, Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg unleashed her signature sass on the show's audience yesterday. And trust us, it was a moment for the ages! The 69-year-old comedienne, known for her unforgettable roles in Ghost and Sister Act, was at it again, but this time she wasn't just serving up laughs – she was dishing out some serious shade.
Goldberg took aim at the audience's apparent glee over Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom's ongoing Twitter beef. For those who may have been living under a rock, let's recap: the two have been trading barbs for weeks, with each trying to one-up the other in an epic game of online one-upmanship.
As Goldberg showed off some of their ridiculous exchanges on-air – think AI-altered images and mocking memes – she simply couldn't contain herself. "So politics has been reduced to internet trolling and targeted retribution," she quipped, chuckling at the absurdity of it all. "You know, it's cute, maybe it's funny, but people got stuff to do. People got families to feed."
But Goldberg wasn't done yet! She continued to roast the audience for their apparent amusement over the whole situation. "They don't have time for this bullsh*t – this stuff that they are doing," she exclaimed. Her co-hosts, Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin, couldn't help but chime in, with both agreeing that it was time to take the high road.
Behar quipped, "I feel like the kindergartners are running the high school" – a jab at Trump's infamous shutdown of the US government. And let's just say it wasn't her most diplomatic moment either: "Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing 'candy from a baby,'" Trump wrote on Monday while announcing an 100 percent tariff on films made outside of the US.
Meanwhile, Newsom fired back with his own brand of sass. "California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit!" Trump tweeted. But what's really got everyone talking is Newsom's unapologetic use of AI-generated images to mock the president.
Think: a photo of Trump reimagined as Marie Antoinette, complete with a tiara and an "I'm with stupid" t-shirt; a video of Trump eating two McDonald's Big Mac cheeseburgers while drones delivered more bags to the White House. The pièce de résistance? A post featuring Newsom as one of Despicable Me's Minions.
As Behar aptly put it, "It's like watching kindergartners in a sandbox – except this time, they're playing with nuclear weapons!" And Hostin added her two cents: "Forty-seven percent of Americans disagree with Trump. They don't approve of how he's handling things and I think we need to go back to the President Obama."
And who can forget that iconic quote from Obama? As Hostin so eloquently put it, "When he… said, 'There's not a liberal America and a conservative America. There is the United States of America.'" Well, someone needs to pass on this wisdom to our current Commander-in-Chief – pronto!
