Representing ABC News well on Tuesday, The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg couldn’t keep her cool after former President Donald Trump’s name came out of her mouth. Often quick to all people on the right “snowflakes,” Goldberg quickly pretended to spit on the ground after realizing her grievous slip of the tongue. Ironically, it came after one of the other co-hosts opined about how Trump didn’t show respect for the presidency.
The spitting fit came as they were previewing the upcoming CNN presidential debate later in the week. Co-host Sara Haines was going on about how amid Trump’s “bluster” everyone needed to
remember to really listen, take him seriously, and take him literally.”
The left-leaning audience applauded and were entertained by Goldberg’s over-the-top reaction to saying Trump’s name.
“Did you say his name?” staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) wondered with a laugh. Goldberg suggested she was somehow tricked into saying his name by co-host Joy Behar. “I said his name. It was a trick and it made me do it. But I’m just saying that he – that Biden knows what not to do,” she said
“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,” she completed her previous thought.
This wasn’t the first time Goldberg pretended to spit on set. In 2022, she spit at the Austin American-Statesman (a local Texas newspaper) because they exposed the inaction of the Uvalde Police Department by releasing leaked video of them just standing around the hallways of the school and not trying to save the kids.
