Whoopi Goldberg Calls Out Joe Rogan’s ‘Fake News’ About ‘The View’ Once Loving Trump; 2011 Interview Shows Goldberg Slamming Trump’s ‘B.S.’ to His Face

2 days ago 2

Whoopi Goldberg put Joe Rogan in his place during an episode of “The View” in which the EGOT winner corrected Rogan’s false claims about one of Trump’s appearances on the ABC daytime talk show. Trump recently guested on Rogan’s Spotify podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” where the two claimed that “The View” hosts once acted favorably to Trump. Goldberg said it was fake news.

“There’s a lot of fake news coming up so we’re going to clear some of it up,” Goldberg said as “The View” threw to a clip from Rogan’s podcast in which Rogan said Trump guested on “The View” in 2015.

“It was 2011, four years before he announced he was running,” Goldberg clarified. “That’s the first thing they got wrong.”

The second thing Rogan got wrong was in saying that Trump was introduced on “The View” as “our friend.” Goldberg cut to the original interview where then-“View”co-host Barbara Walters called Trump “my friend” while Goldberg sat stone-faced on the couch.

“So, Barbara was her usual polite self as she was with every guest. But did I look warm and fuzzy? Was that a warm and fuzzy welcome for him?” Goldberg said. “But because I respect Barbara, she said be polite to guests no matter what. And for the most part I got through it, I did it, like I do now.”

Goldberg then tore into Rogan’s most incorrect assumption that “The View” hosts spoke about Trump “in such a favorable light” in 2011.

“Honey, Joe. I think you missed this part,” Goldberg said throwing to a clip from the 2011 interview in which she criticized Trump’s focus on Barack Obama’s birth certificate. 

“I think that’s the biggest pile of dog mess I’ve heard in ages,” Goldberg told Trump on air in 2011. “It’s not because he’s Black? Because I’ve never heard of any white president being asked to show a birth certificate? That’s B.S.”

Reflecting now on the 2011 interview, Goldberg said: “This show has allowed all kinds of people to come on, people we agree with, people we don’t agree with. I have not been a fan of [Trump’s]. I don’t like how he talks to us, I don’t like how he talks to the nation. I [did] not really have much to say until he started running for president. [But] then [in 2011]…my face said everything I needed to say.”

“Making fun of him is punching down now because it’s just too easy,” Goldberg continued. “Our focus is making sure we get the right person in the right job to lead the country out of the malaise we’re all in. Everybody is pissed all the time. People are walking down the street and you can see it…We’ve been in trauma for years now. And I’m hoping with this next election we will have a breather and get back to the people’s business. That’s what I want.”

Trump has been in a war of words with “The View” ladies this election cycle. Rogan tried to point out the hypocrisy of “The View” hosts hating on Trump when they were once loving towards him in 2011, although Goldberg clearly proved that was never the case.

Trump was at a campaign event in Reading, Pa earlier this month when he called “The View” hosts “really dumb people.” He then remembered hiring Goldberg once for a comedy event at one of his casinos, but he criticized her act for being “filthy dirty” and “disgusting.”

“I was filthy, and stand on that fact. I have always been filthy, and you knew that when you hired me,” Goldberg fired back at Trump after the rally. “I headlined, babe, at your casino, which I might’ve continued to play had you not run it into the ground. How dumb are you? You hired me four times.”

“You didn’t know what you were getting? How dumb are you?” Goldberg asked again.
