From the Daily Mail: The View’s Whoopi Goldberg was handed a note live on air Monday asking her to clarify a statement she made about President Donald Trump – leading Goldberg to angrily tear the message up in protest.
The message – which the Daily Mail learned came from producers on the show – was handed to Goldberg by co-host Sunny Hostin during an exchange about presidents using an autopen.
While discussing Trump’s interview on 60 Minutes the previous night, Hostin zeroed in on Trump’s pardoning of convicted Binance fraudster Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao stemming from a statement by the president admitting he had ‘no idea’ who Zhao is.
Hostin pointed to Trump’s claims that former President Joe Biden ‘didn’t know who he was pardoning using an autopen.’
Hostin asked, “How come you don’t know who this guy is?”
Goldberg retorted, “Because he used an autopen.” That comment got her in hot water.
Hostin was later seen passing a note cross the table to Goldberg while she was talking. Goldberg glanced at it and erupted, “What the hell? What? ‘We don’t know if Trump used an autopen to pardon…’ It was a joke!”
Hostin inserted, “Yes, we don’t know whether Trump used an autopen to pardon…”
But Goldberg was furiously ripping the note into tiny pieces.
“Well, I’m sorry. The hardest thing about this job now is no one understands nuance,” she raged, adding, “You know when you hear a joke, when somebody’s fooling around, when they’re not saying something specific. Especially on this show, I’m very specific when I’m pointing stuff out. When I’m making jokes, you know when I’m making jokes!”
