In a classic display of the left’s struggle with reality, Whoopi Goldberg recently took it upon herself to remedy the “fake news” surrounding Donald Trump’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast. During a segment on The View, Goldberg attempted to correct Rogan on some minor technicalities about Trump’s previous stint on the show from 2011, insisting he had the timeline all wrong. You know, because getting the year right takes precedence over the actual content of the discussion.
Goldberg seemed flustered while clarifying that the glowing introductions Trump received back in the day by her fellow co-hosts were actually a reflection of their relentless charm—how affectionate they were toward the “then-reality TV star.” Sounds like a far cry from the “I’m not biased, really” pretense that The View spouts daily. She recalled how everyone fawned over Trump, calling him “our friend,” before promptly airbrushing any hint of warmth or affection from her past demeanor. Apparently, when liberals footnote their past praise, it doesn’t mean what it sounds like.

While she outwardly claimed to be less than impressed with Trump back in 2011—referring to her “unpleased” expression during their interaction—she forgot to mention how her critique didn’t suffice to mask the welcome she tried to paint as cordial. Instead, Goldberg presented herself as a dutiful co-host who dutifully played nice while simultaneously pulling the *I’m-too-cool-for-Trump* routine. Now, she has taken to calling him “you-know-who,” as if he were a character in some children’s book rather than a former president.
Whoopi also entertained viewers with another gem, claiming Trump’s policies could threaten the stability of interracial marriages because of a hypothetical deportation scheme. This began quite a spirited dialogue online, with social media users left scratching their heads. One user aptly labeled The View as a “nationally televised insane asylum,” while others merely wondered if the entire episode was a cleverly masked parody.
Rogan didn’t escape unscathed either, with Goldberg insinuating that he missed the real essence of her past interviews with Trump. Given that she later emphatically pronounced that the current Trump phenomenon was “out there,” one might wonder whether her dizzying logic did a few loop-de-loops on the way to her conclusions. At the end of the day, rather than grappling with any substance or constructive criticism, Goldberg proved once again that when in doubt, carpet-bomb the audience with confusion and faux-nostalgia for the past.
