ABC’s Whoopi Goldberg has used her platform on The View to push some pretty wild conspiracy theories.
On Wednesday she popped off with a particularly loopy one, accusing Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of using a body double in a campaign teaser video his wife Casey DeSantis put out on Tuesday. She also accused him of being a racist, asking, “Why do you dislike people of color?” and flaunted her ignorance of representative government.
The campaign teaser video showed Governor DeSantis backstage at an event, getting ready to walk out with a voiceover asking if a “brighter future” for America was “worth the fight? Do I have the courage? Is it worth the sacrifice?” It concludes with the voice proclaiming: “America has been worth it every single time.”
That message drew laughs from co-host Joy Behar and a combination of boos and groans from their liberal audience. “That could have been anybody,” Goldberg, who has admitted to having bad eyesight, proclaimed. “That could have been me in a Ron DeSantis wig!”
Goldberg lamented that DeSantis was set to announce his presidential campaign later in the day and went on to seemingly suggest this wasn’t the first time he had run for president, which was untrue.
Coming up against a commercial break, for the second time this week, Goldberg betrayed her deep ignorance of how representative government and elections worked.
Despite the fact DeSantis was just reelected as governor by almost 20 points, Goldberg tried to tell off DeSantis by arguing, “You’re not asking your constituents” what laws they wanted signed, “You're telling them what you're doing.” And this was supposedly “not the American way.”
“Everybody’s supposed to be deciding what they want for their state, sir, not just you,” she flamed out.
