“Now, for me, I have a lot of faith in the American people,” Goldberg said during Thursday morning’s show.
“And I know his grandchild was up on the thing and they’re trying to humanize him and change your idea about who this guy is,” she said.

Firstly, I thought children under 18 were off limits, other than to say something nice because they are children.

A child is "up on the thing"?

I mean, what on earth kind of insinuation is that? This is a child and that's her grandpa ..

And what on earth does she mean humanize him? Donald Trump's a human being with a family and is loved like anyone else.

Literally going onto national media in front of millions of people and tell them Donald Trump's not a human being and shouldn't be seen as one is the height of evil and the type of words and thoughts that gets 20 year olds thinking it's morally right to go kill innocent people.

It's a travesty that whoever owns and broadcasts that show is still in business.

I think the family of the deceased should honestly sue these media companies, someone should. They sit around all day doing nothing but incite riots and inspire murderers... It should have repercussions.

She meant "the stage." Or "the platform.". Or "the dais." IOW: "His granddaughter was up on [the stage]." That's it. Nothing quoted in that article comes remotely close to "going after" her.

The headline is a lie. So much for toning down the rhetoric and uniting, eh?

The murderer appears to have been a conservative, but I'm sure he took his cues from The View.

She's an idealogue and the left-wing media and maybe her boss wants him painted to be an animal. Statements like this or deep-held beliefs will never heal a divided country. She contributes to the hate. Her threat to democracy statement is fear the media uses to tug your chains. I remember all the comments in 2016 when I was a Trump supporter and none of the fear that was spewed came to fruition. I feel that the right has the same manipulation by the media when it comes to the left.

"Yes, whatever you do, don’t humanize someone who has constantly been referred to as subhuman and a threat to democracy. People might start realizing that he’s a hazard to the country and try to stop him by any means necessary, including what happened on Saturday.

Whoopi has now officially exited the orbit of reality.

The real threat to the nation — a president who is physically and mentally unfit for the task on an organic, not perceived, level, and whose condition has been assiduously hidden from the American people by a phalanx of aides and apparatchiks — is perfectly fine, even if he soils his pants or mumbles words no one can understand because they were not put together in an order where they could be understood."

Wow celebrities!

We love Hulk!
Whoopi is so bad!

People, get a grip.
Whoopi Goldberg and her fellow hostesses on The View have been important influencers and spokeswomen for popular liberal left wing culture for a long time. I believe that it is a mistake to dismiss Whoopi Goldberg and The View as merely "celebrities."

Really? The View as influencers? It’s day time talk drivel. Limited audience due to time slot.

Aside from that, the article title way over exaggerated whatever she said. She did not go after the granddaughter but stated her opinion on the fluff of how a family member is endeared to him and that was paraded on stage.

Are they? I’ve never once listened to anything any of them have to say about anything.

That’s all she is. Not even a very relevant one anymore.

I'm curious if you'd be willing to share their actual views hip numbers.

I've never heard anyone say they watch the view. I. Sure whooping would be happy to read tour post but I'm not sure it's factual.

OK I actually didnt know this.

Still, "The View" sounds pretty cheesy to the point where Whoopi still lands on the "celebrity" side rather than the "public intellectual" side. Or even "pretend public intellectual", like Tucker. People actually turn to Tucker as an influence on the lives and thinking. I know, crazy, right? I dont think Whoopi is remotely there yet, even if she'd like to be.

Most people under a certain age aren’t watching network or even cable tv anymore.
