The View’s Whoopi Goldberg is one of the biggest Trump-haters in the media.
The results of the Presidential election have taken her rage towards the former President to entirely new heights.
And Whoopi Goldberg just threw one nasty attack against Trump supporters that left Americans furious.
Goldberg doubles down on hatred against Trump’s supporters
The results are in for the Presidential election.
The hosts of ABC’s The View threw some of their biggest hissy fits yet before the results of the Presidential election were even in.
Spewing as much hate about former President Donald Trump as possible has become the primary focus of the daytime talk show for the last few months.
And President Joe Biden’s arguably biggest mistake yet – at least since his decision to attempt to debate Donald Trump – was outright celebrated by the all-female cast of the show.
Biden’s mistake was his decision to refer to supporters of Donald Trump as “garbage” in a rant during a recent Zoom call with a Hispanic voter group in response to roast comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico at Madison Square Garden.
Hinchcliffe’s joke was reportedly meant to draw attention to the landfill overflow problems experienced on the island territory.
To people who say this was a long time ago — no, 2022 was not a long time ago:

Of course, Democrats didn’t see it that way.
“And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage,’” started Biden. “Well, let me tell you something… I don’t know the Puerto Rican that I know – or a Puerto Rico, where I’m – in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people,” he proceeded to rant.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” fired off Biden.
The joke brought forth memories of when the two-time failed candidate for President, Hillary Clinton, made her infamous “basket of deplorables” comment during a speech she made in the 2016 election cycle.
But Joe Biden’s attack was significantly worse.
Clinton’s comment was referring to just some of Trump’s supporters, whereas Joe Biden claimed that anyone who supported Donald Trump was “garbage.”
Immediately after, many Democrats across the country did not hesitate to show distance between themselves and the attack made by Biden.
But The View’s Whoopi Goldberg did the opposite – she doubled down on the line of attack.
“So you know they’re working very hard to spin this to some crazy end, but this is my problem – let me explain to y’all,” started Goldberg. “I don’t understand why all the pearl-clutching over Biden’s statement.”
“Why they all have a problem with what Biden said when what this other guy has said,” she complained.
Between some word salads and mental gymnastics, Goldberg attempted to claim that Biden’s sick attack on half of the country was actually Trump’s fault.
“Let’s see all the stuff he’s talked about, what he’s called Democrats. Evil, dangerous, Marxists, communists, fascists, sick people, the enemy within and said all that just this week…,” she ranted on.
“So I don’t understand why you clutching your pearls. You’re trying to make something out of a tongue slip,” she added. “Yeah, Hillary called these folks deplorable. Yeah, okay.”
The View attempts to run cover for Whoopi Goldberg
One of The View’s co-hosts, Alyssa Farah Griffin, made note of how Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment created serious problems for her campaign, and gave a boost to Trump in 2016.
“There is a completely unfair standard with Donald Trump where people, I’m saying there is an unfair standard where his supporters have decided it’s baked in when he insults people but do take offense,” blasted Griffin. “Deplorables did matter, that comment from Hillary Clinton.”
“But it turned out she was right,” doubled down Goldberg, once more.
Biden’s comment appeared to backfire against Biden and the Democrat Party, as the results of the election made clear of that.
And Donald Trump memorialized the moment by showing up to a Green Bay, Wisconsin rally in a garbage truck while wearing a reflective work vest.
The media was outraged by Trump’s ability to make the most of the situation, which all likely bolstered the surge of momentum for his campaign walking into Election Day.
