On Wednesday morning, Whoopi Goldberg took full aim at Bill O’Reilly on “The View,” singling out comments he made on “The O’Reilly Factor” the night before. O’Reilly had accused Hollywood as a community of engaging in “reverse McCarthyism” to scare musicians from performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration by branding his supporters as “bad people.” O’Reilly claimed that “a number of entertainers believe their careers will be harmed, should they associate with the new Trump administration,” a situation that he branded “an awful state of affairs.”
“If you don’t vote for people who don’t support you probably won’t get turned down as much,” she said. “I know that one of the people that supported Donald Trump was Ted Nugent. So, why isn’t Ted Nugent performing? He’s one of your big supporters.” Panelist Jedediah Bila didn’t necessarily agree with O’Reilly invoking McCarthyism, but she did cite conservative entertainers who had told her they were afraid to be public about their politics for professional reasons.
That said, Goldberg pointed out that a big part of Trump’s issues in finding inauguration performers has been his team going after liberal performers and not conservatives in the first place. “Stop going after the lefties to come perform if you think it’s going to be an issue,” she said. “If you want people to support you, go after your supporters. Don’t go after the people who clearly did not support you and label them as being bad.”

Shut up Whoopie.
When's the last time you saw a sketch on SNL making fun of Obama?
When's the last time a mainstream media outlet (CBS/NBC/ABC/PBS/NPR/MSNBC/WaPo/NYT) said something critical about Obama?
I'll save you the trouble answering both questions: Never.
poor Jedediah Bila, she went from Fox to a show about to be cancelled...
Not sure which is a bigger f’en pig Goldberg or O’Donnel
Bake the damn cake Whoopie! How’s it you can put the baker out of business because of his beliefs? Hypocrites all of you!
Maybe her point is that if you disapprove of narrow-minded, leftist bigots like herself, don’t hire them as entertainment. I don’t think she’d put it that way, though.
You certainly get “blackballed” in Hollywood if you don;t follow certain political theologies.
Love her cushions.
Why is she still on the Porch?? Or do you think she gives a damn about her ideas that are destroying the black community?
I guess it’s Safer on the Porch right Whoopie?
Whoopie saying “Nyah, Nyah” is not news.
Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, Cher, Joy Behar, Barbara Streisand.......You have to be both vapid and hopelessly stupid if you seek moral guidance from women like that. Celebrity worship is common in post Christian, neo pagan decadent cultures.
This talking farm animal needs to keep her mouth shut and just sit aro9und and rot.
So, any professional who supported Mr. Trump should be invited to perform? Talk about a non sequitur. Do you know for a fact that he wasn't asked to perform? BTW, I corrected your English for you...no charge.
How does it feel to be irrelevant, Whoopi????
Why not, it’s the perfect venue for her. A liberal echo-chamber where they think she is smart or something. Maybe when Joy Bigwhore retires she can take over.
The myopic view would be a better name.
I thought SHE was MOVING when TRUMP becomes President?
She needs to Pack UP!
I have never seen a human being as ugly as Whoopi, put aside political difference.
That’s like “reverse racism.” There’s no sucha damn thing.
It is a tactic and an attitude, to and from whomever it is directed.
