The tide is turning against the partisan, insufferable know-nothing hosts of The View, as a courageous audience member blasted Whoopi Goldberg at the beginning of taping for their Wednesday show. It apparently got the attention of Whoopi and her co-hosts, who immediately had to address the situation before resuming their normal banter.\u201cWe\u2019re happy to see ya\u2019ll. Cool, well, go on and have a seat,\u201d Goldberg stated before turning her attention to the heckler. \u201cDid you just call me an old broad? Yeah?\u201d she then said. The camera panned to a woman sitting near the front of the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe said, \u2018You old broad,\u2019 and I was like, hey, it\u2019s Wednesday, and I am an old broad, and happy about it,\u201d she remarked, attempting to downplay the insult. Co-host Sonny Hostin chimed in by saying that the term \u201cold broad\u201d was preferable to any alternative slurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whoopi evidently agreed with that assessment and chimed in to say as much in her response to Hostin. \u201cThe alternative is not attractive to any of us,\u201d Goldberg replied. \u201cWe all want to be old broads and old dudes, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conservative Brief argued that Goldberg\u2019s comeuppance is well overdue. In the past year, she has made repeated remarks insinuating that the Holocaust was not about race, despite Hitler\u2019s own comments that he was to exterminate the Jewish race after blaming them for Germany\u2019s problems. Amazingly, after receiving just a two-week suspension and issuing a non-apology, Whoopi returned to the same talking point more recently this past December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this just had to be said. One of the first Twitter comments appropriately noted that aside from the brief interlude of heckling, no one really came out on top. The Twitter user wrote: \u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s funnier\u2026The old broad comment, or the woman wearing a diaper on her face. Both are clowns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plenty of other comments tempered their own outrage by referring to Whoopi as a clown. Goldberg really stepped in it and doubled down on historical ignorance when explaining her thinking. \u201cRemember who they were killing first,\u201d she said in reference to the Nazi regime. \u201cThey were not killing racial; they were killing physical. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When insisting the Holocaust wasn\u2019t about race, after being roundly criticized, she played the American race card by pretending Nazi Germany didn\u2019t have systems in place to identify the Jewish population. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street,\u201d she said. \u201cYou could find me. You couldn\u2019t find them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting on her initial suspension, she downplayed everything by pretending her raging ignorance and hatred of facts was a non-issue. \u201cBut you would have thought that I\u2019d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked,\u201d she said about the suspension. \u201cMy best friend said, \u2018Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. So that leads me to believe that we\u2019re probably not a race,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
