Whoopi Goldberg censored on “The View” over reaction to Donald Trump’s ‘unhinged’ speech advocating for police violence
Goldberg used profanity to react to Trump’s recent speech, while Sunny Hostin compared the former president’s proposal to the Nazis’ Kristallnacht.
Whoopi Goldberg has had it with Donald Trump — perhaps more so than ever before, as the Oscar-winning actress and The View moderator ripped into the former president following his controversial comments at an Erie, Pa., campaign event over the weekend.
Before her profane reaction to Trump’s latest “unhinged” speech was censored by The View team, the 68-year-old singled out Trump’s “very bizarre rants” at the rally, which included calling Vice President Kamala Harris a “mentally impaired” person, in addition to Trump proposing that police be allowed to use brutal force on “one really violent day” per year — a scenario many people compared to the plot of The Purge media franchise.
“I think that he’s diminished, and it’s just going even further than it ever has,” said cohost and former Trump White House associate Alyssa Farah Griffin during Monday’s Hot Topics discussion, which also prompted panelist Sunny Hostin to compare Trump’s Purge-esque proposal to Nazi Germany’s Kristallnacht, “in which there was a coordinated wave of antisemitic violence in Nazi Germany to attack the Jews,” she said. She went on to say that Trump has a “dark vision of America,” and urged people to pay attention to his words amid the upcoming election.

“I think people are paying attention. I think everyone is at this place where it’s no longer, your shock value has worn off, we know you’re gonna…” Goldberg said as the show’s audio cut out and the words “say stupid s—” appeared to come out of her mouth. Goldberg then caught herself and looked toward the audience as the crowd applauded.
“They caught it, they caught it,” Hostin said.
Goldberg continued, with the actress stressing that she wants “to know what can we expect from the people we elect that helps us move our lives forward” instead of hearing more about his divisive rhetoric.
“I don’t care about him anymore, I don’t. And those of you who love him, keep your love, I have no dislike for you, but I have a dislike for people who are not telling us the plan, because it’s enough, now,” she finished.

Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Trump and The View for comment.
Goldberg’s comments come after a particularly momentous political week for The View, as the show welcomed President Joe Biden to the table to discuss current events last week, with Goldberg telling him that she didn’t like how democrats handled publicly calling for him to bow out of the race following his disastrous debate performance against Trump earlier this year.
The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/PT on ABC.
