Whoopi Goldberg nearly had an on-air slip on this morning’s episode of The View.
The ladies kicked things off by discussing President Donald Trump‘s plans to accept a luxury airplane from Qatar’s royal family, which had them questioning not only if accepting the gift was an ethical move but whether it could also be a national security breech.
Ana Navarro called out the “hypocrisy” of the Republican Party for going after Hunter Biden so hard, while the current oversight committees “are doing nothing to oversee the blatant conflicts of interest that Trump and his family are engaged in.”
Navarro pointed to Melania Trump’s $40 million deal with Amazon for a documentary about her life, “the way the Trump children are running around the world making profit out of their name,” and the $2 billion the Saudis have allegedly invested in Jared Kushner’s ventures.
“All of those things, one after the other, right in front of our faces without there being so much as an eyebrow raise by the hypocritical, cowardly, rubber-stamping Republicans in Congress,” she fumed. “You want that to stop? You got to vote Democrats into Congress so that we have some semblance of checks and balances.”
Goldberg, on the other hand, took a more neutral approach as she urged Americans to find “the right people.”
“Maybe it’s an independent. Maybe it’s a Republican who is not beholden. But they have to be moved otherwise this sh— stuff … is going keep ….” she said, letting her sentence trail off as she flashed a cheeky smile at the audience for her near
It’s not often that Goldberg curses on The View — although she was censored in a March episode of the hit daytime talk show for calling out Republicans lawmakers’ lack of “cajones” after the House GOP’s campaign arm Richard Hudson told them not to attend in-person town halls.
“There are so many Republicans that have decided not to engage at all. You see people and you see the pictures are there of the Republicans but the Republicans are not there,” she said. “That should tell you something. If you don’t have the cajones to come and meet the people who put you in power, then you shouldn’t be there.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
