Whoopi Goldberg unloaded on Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) during a discussion on “The View” about the congresswoman heckling President Joe Biden during his State of the Union address.
The 66-year-old actress and comedian, who was suspended from the ABC show a few weeks ago for repeatedly asserting that the Holocaust wasn’t based on race, blasted Boebert with a load of insulting commentary as she called out the GOP lawmaker for being disrespectful.

Goldberg and her far-left co-hosts regularly trash Republicans and had plenty of disrespect for former President Donald Trump while he occupied the White House. But there was, unsurprisingly, a stunning lack of self-awareness Tuesday as they condemned Boebert for her outburst during Biden’s speech.
Boebert yelled out about the 13 American service members who were killed in a bomb attack in Kabul, Afghanistan last summer during the president’s remarks about troops who have cancer after being exposure to toxic smoke from burn pits while stationed in the Middle East.
After “The View” crew discussed the heckling, Goldberg came back to her attack on the Colorado congresswoman.
“Let me point something else out. In 2020, she opposed a bill to fund the military because she didn’t like Democratic politics. Babe!” she said.
“Now, don’t talk about the military unless you really want to talk about the military. You can’t do what they do. That’s why we revere them – because they do the stuff we can’t do,” she continued.

“And the minute you poop on them, you poop on them like the last guy did, talking about those gold star families, talking about [John] McCain as not being a hero,” she went on in an apparent dig at Trump.
“Who the hell do you think you are, little girl? Who do you think you are?” Goldeberg demanded.
“You know. You don’t have to–you don’t have to like this president to be respectful of him talking about the military and his son, who died. You don’t have to do that. You don’t have to like him, but you must be respectful. you gotta be,” she added, with no sense of self-awareness.
Twitter users had no problem adressing Goldberg’s hypocrisy.

she must have forgotten that time that Pelosi ripped up the speech behind Trump and when half the dems boycotted it in the first place.

Whoopi GOLDBERG talked about Nazi Germany and said it wasn’t about race, while culturally appropriating her fake Jewish last name, nobody cares what she thinks 😂

1. That little girl is a Congressman; you’re a third rate talk show leftist
2. She was in the People’s House representing; you were having your 4th slice of pizza and chugging some Mountain Dew
3. She got your attention; you only seek attention#SOTU— Res Ipsa Loquitur 🇺🇸 (@KissMyMima) March 2, 2022
