Whoopi Goldberg Calls Out “Ignorant as Hell” Lindsey Graham on ‘The View’ for “Insulting” Comments About Race: “Don’t Ever Say That Again”
Whoopi Goldberg seethed over comments made by Sen. Lindsey Graham about Georgia senate candidate Herschel Walker, ripping the politician on The View for his “insulting” remarks about race. During a discussion about the latest woman to come forward about being pressured into an abortion by Walker — who has maintained his staunch pro-life stance — Goldberg slammed Graham for blindly defending his party’s candidate.
Walker, who was blasted by the anonymous accuser as a “hypocrite” for his stance on abortion, said the woman’s claims were untrue and dismissed them as “foolishness.” Following his remarks, he and Graham also appeared on yesterday’s episode of Sean Hannity’s FOX News show, where Graham attempted to flip the script.
“They’re beating all of our guys up, but what is it about this guy?” Graham asked during his Hannity appearance. “He changes the entire narrative of the left. We’re a party of racists, Sean, me and you are racists.
“The republican party is racist,” he continued. “Well, what happens when the republican party elects and nominates Herschel Walker, an African American, Black Heisman Trophy winner, right, Olympian? It destroys the whole narrative.”
Goldberg was incensed by Graham’s remarks. After taking a beat to stare at the camera with a perplexed expression, she delivered a rebuttal to the senator.
“So here’s the thing you need to know, Lindsey. Just because we see a Black person, does not mean that we do monkey see, monkey do. And I’m sure that you don’t know how insulting that is,” Goldberg said. “But let us just say to you, don’t ever say that again because you look ignorant as hell. Don’t do that.”
She added, “I mean you know, it doesn’t work that way. It may work that way for you ’cause we know what you’re doing. Okay? We know what you’re up to. But we don’t just go get people because they look the right way, we actually have to find the people that can actually do the damn job. That’s what we want.”
