From Breitbart: ABC’s The View cut to commercial on Tuesday as co-host Whoopi Goldberg issued an emotional defense of the President Donald Trump’s administration’s proposal to dismantle the Department of Education.
Speaking with co-host Sunny Hostin, Goldberg said that the end of the department could be a “good thing” by encouraging parents to get their children what they need.
“Maybe some of what’s happening, like, you know, they’re trying to take apart the Department of Education,” she said.
“Yes,” responded Hostin.
“Maybe that is a good thing,” replied Goldberg. “Because maybe it will force us to make sure that our kids actually get what they need. Maybe it’ll force us to go to our state and say, ‘Listen, I want to make sure, since you’re taking all this money from my taxes, I want to make sure that my kids get exactly what they need. I don’t have to wait for the government to do it.’”
As Goldberg was making the jaw-dropping admission, her producers informed her it was time for a commercial. She said, “They’re telling me that we’re going to be right back.”
Goldberg was echoing exactly what President Trump has stated as his reason for wanting to eliminate the federal Department of Education: that individual states should be responsible for the education needs of their own children.
Secretary of Education Linda McMahon posted a video of the moment on X ad wrote, “Even Whoopi Goldberg of @TheView knows — it’s time to do the best thing for our children and send education back to the states. Welcome to the team!”
