The hosts of ‘The View’ say stupid things on TV every day. If you pay attention to media, you know this. The show is a constant source of misinformation.
Whoopi Goldberg is very angry with FOX News for noticing this and whined about it on the air on Friday.
It was part of a discussion about Rep. Matt Gaetz wanting the House Judiciary Committee to open their meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Townhall provides a partial transcript:
Joy Behar quoted famed literary figure Samuel Johnson about patriotism being the last refuge for scoundrels, “So what is Gaetz seeking refuge from?”
“And just so we’re clear, so everybody is clear because, you know, Fox [News] loves to to come after us everyday! They don’t, they don’t do their work. They come at us for doing what we’re supposed to do, which was give you our opinion. That’s the beautiful thing about America. In America, we can still each give our opinion and you don’t have to like it. It’s just somebody’s opinion,” Goldberg added.
“But I find that the people who are always saying, ‘Well, you know, they are anti–,’ we’re not anti-America. The beauty of America is you can say, hey, this is what’s wrong with America and we can fix it. That’s what they’re supposed to be doing. Instead of asking people to do what they already do every day, which is say the Pledge of Allegiance.”

Whoopi’s comments here are very revealing for at least three reasons.
First, she accuses Gaetz of wasting people’s time. We just went through over five years of Democrats launching investigations of Trump over pretty much anything. Where were Whoopi’s concerns about wasting time then?
Second, Whoopi claims that this is America and everyone has a right to their opinion. That is true, but the hosts of ‘The View’ constantly attack people for having opinions they don’t like.
Finally, Whoopi insists that she and her co-hosts aren’t anti-America. As Ronald Reagan once famously noted, if you’re explaining, you’re losing.
People are tired of ‘The View’ and the hosts of the show. All they seem to do is invoke hatred of Republicans, every single day, then have the audacity to complain when people notice.
