“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg crossed a line.
Even her own network knew it.
And Whoopi Goldberg got censored for saying one unthinkable word.
As Conservative Reboot reports:
Whoopi Goldberg is Facing Another On-Air Controversy
Whoopi Goldberg has made her political leanings very clear over the years, as she is a staunch Democrat and wants everyone to know exactly where she stands.
Sometimes her views, and the intensity of those views, gets her into trouble, and she is facing yet another example of that after a recent episode of “The View.”
Goldberg was attacking Republicans for their supposed unwillingness to hold “town halls.”
Of course, these town halls are nothing but an opportunity for Soros-funded groups like Indivisible to scream at them for hours.
But Goldberg wanted to score political points, and so she launched an attack on Republicans for allegedly ducking these town halls.
In doing so, however, she used a word that is not supposed to be broadcast live on the air.
And as soon as she did that, the producers had to hit the panic button and bleep the word out so people wouldn’t hear it.
Goldberg Had to Be Bleeped for One Word She Used While Attacking Republicans
According to the Daily Beast, “Whoopi Goldberg found herself censored by her own show air Monday as she railed against Republicans for not showing up to face their constituents.
“The hosts of The View were discussing the different approaches to resisting Donald Trump in the Democratic party, as some praised Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for their more activating ‘tax the rich’ messaging. Goldberg ultimately had to be bleeped on the morning show for comparing how much ‘cajones’ each party has.”
Although the word is commonly used among English-speakers as a replacement word instead of swearing, for Spanish-speakers it has a different context.
That’s why the producers did not want that word going out over the air, or else they’d have to face consequences.
Here is what Goldberg said: “What I do love seeing is, I love seeing people going and engaging themselves. There are so many Republicans that have decided not to go to them to engage at all.”
“You see people and they say that the pictures are there of the Republicans, but the Republicans are not there. If you don’t have the cajones to come and meet the people who put you in power, then you shouldn’t be there.”
It’s unfortunate that Goldberg couldn’t have found a different way to get her point across, as she ended up overshadowing her own comment with the fact that she had to be censored.
Her comment didn’t exactly hold up to scrutiny either, as Republicans have found many ways to talk to their constituents, just not in “town halls” where they’d be held hostage by activists.
Ultimately, Goldberg’s attack fell very flat, and she certainly did not help her cause with the way she delivered it.
Republicans likely do not feel very threatened by what Whoopi Goldberg thinks of them, as she mainly preaches to the choir of people who agree with her.
