Actress and alleged comedian Whoopi Goldberg has a penchant for aggravating people, particularly conservatives, but she may have gone too far.
During a recent discussion on the ABC talk show “The View” the hosts were speaking about former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition convention when Goldberg said that evangelical Christians need to know that God “may not be on their side,” Mediaite reported.
“What was shocking to me was the hypocrisy of the evangelical community, booing at the truth. I mean, we can all have differences of opinions, but the facts remain the same. And, he did these things, so it’s almost like they were going, ‘la la la la la la la la’ like little kids, because they’re still going to vote for him,” cohost Sunny Hostin said.
“The first time around, I remember…I don’t understand the kind of ‘explaining this away,’ but some people said it was just to get those Supreme Court justices. Their one issue, their one issue. And they got them. To me, it’s more shocking they remain there after they got their justices,” cohost Sara Haines said.
“The evangelicals are not the evangelicals of my youth,” Goldberg said. “I’ve always known evangelicals. And while we have different roads to God, they’re, you know, basically the same roads. But I don’t know who these folks are.”
“You know, the thing about evangelicals that we all have to remember is that they’re human beings. They’re people and they’re flawed, like all of us, so, you know, when they wake up and realize that God may not be on their side the way they think he is, because someone who says, ‘I’m doing this for you,’ sounds an awful lot like, you know,” she said before Host said “The great J.C.,” Haines said, referring to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
“Many of them are such good people and being taken by this charlatan, which is distressing,” she said.
At the convention, the former president touted the Dobbs decision that end Roe V Wade abortion protections.
“We terminated Roe v. Wade,” he said. “Every child born and unborn is a sacred gift from God.”
Exactly one year ago today, those justices were the pivotal votes in the Supreme Court’s landmark decision ending the constitutional atrocity known as Roe v. Wade,” the former president said.
“With Roe v. Wade, you had none, you had no power,” he said. “We’ve now given pro-life people tremendous power to negotiate something that will be happy, that will be good for everybody.”
