Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich appeared on Tuesday’s The View where he was grilled by the panel on Comey, the media and Trump. The liberal hosts constantly tried to pin him in a corner but Gingrich kept his cool, even after the hosts denied basic facts regarding Clinton’s email investigation. Finally the interview ended with host Whoopi Goldberg making a ridiculous assertion, based on absolutely nothing, about Trump’s relationship with the media.
That part began after host Jedediah Bila asked Gingrich about Trump’s support among the public. “Are people frustrated with him, disappointed with him? What are they feeling out there?” Bila asked.
Gingrich claimed that he was surprised Trump had any support with the public after the “endless barrage” of negative media attention that Trump has faced since he announced he was running for president. He even cited a recent Harvard study which found 93% negative media coverage, but that didn’t stop hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg from rudely scoffing and laughing after he stated this fact.
GINGRICH: I think it's amazing, if you look at the -- for example, CNN's 93% negative coverage according to Harvard, 93% negative, I think it's a miracle that Trump has any approval.
[scoffing at table]
JOY BEHAR: Oh, my God.
GINGRICH: Constant unending barrage --
[WHOOPI RAISES HER HAND]
BEHAR: I have a question, too.
After disruption ensued at the table, Whoopi raised her hand and claimed that before Trump was elected, the media actually loved him. After Gingrich denied that the media’s coverage was all positive, Whoopi made up a ridiculous claim that “98 percent” of Trump’s coverage had been positive:
Whoopi Claims Trump Had Enormously High Positive Media Coverage
WHOOPI: So, do you mean, because I recall and maybe I'm crazy, but I recall from the time the gentleman came down the escalator until the time he won, he was 24/7 on every television on every network forcing-- making one of the head of the networks saying, ‘yeah, it wasn't good for America but it was great for us.’ It was all positive until people started asking questions. Now --
GINGRICH: It wasn't all positive!
SUNNY HOSTIN: It was live coverage of Donald Trump was saying.
WHOOPI: I'm sorry, I --
GINGRICH: It was all noisy but it wasn't all positive.
WHOOPI: No, no. 98% of it was positive, Newt.
BILA: No, I disagree with that...
[to Bila] I know you disagree with it but I don't care. I know what I saw. [throws hands up in the air]
Right before this exchange, Whoopi began grilling Gingrich in a ludicrous fashion to try to call him out in a gotcha moment. Despite not being anywhere new to the political scene, Whoopi somehow felt Gingrich deserved the crazy person litmus test. After Gingrich blamed Clinton’s email investigation as a reason to why she was not president, Whoopi outright denied that Comey found any wrongdoing in Clinton’s email investigation. Clearly not understanding what Gingrich said, she called him out for “doublespeak” before grilling him as if she was a hard-hitting reporter, asking:
Do you believe that Obama wiretapped Trump?
Where was President Obama born?
LOL! Well yeah. They were 98% positive he had no chance in hell of WINNING.
The only thing Whoopi Cushion has ever had a relationship with is....no....I can’t say it. Too disgusting to even joke about.
WHY would Gingrich go on THAT show???????
Stupid!
Ted Danson (Sam the bartender on 'Cheers')
Ted and Whoopi had a hot romance going for a while and Ted even left his wife to boogie-woogie with Whoopi.
"Whoopi hates Mary and the reason is simple — she married Ted Danson and Whoopi didn't," an insider told the ENQUIRER. Ted, 65, dated 57-year-old Whoopi for a year in the early '90s after they met on the set of their movie "Made in America." When they began their affair, the "Cheers" star was married to his wife Casey, but Ted was so in love with the comedian that he left his family home and moved into a hotel with her. They made plans to wed as soon as he could get a divorce, but under pressure from his parents, he dumped Whoopi, say sources, shattering her heart.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG Remains Heartbroken Over TED DANSON

and she blames it on MARY STEENBURGEN, say sources.
That’s even more disgusting.
I thought Jedediah Bila was okay when she was on FOX NEWS but now she is just another cackling hen on The View.
He’s obviously not afraid of them and can handle them.
She was.
Whoopi Goldberg and the View are in mourning that the shooter wasn’t able to shoot more Republicans in the park this morning. They’re working with Michael Moore to get bail for the shooter - they want him to have a second chance.
Yes, this violence belongs at the foot of liberal elite haters...
She must be happy today. I’m sure she doesn’t consider this attack to be attempted “assassination-assassination.”
My thoughts exactly
A good question that applies to many reps on our side, but the Newt can hang and skewer the best of them. He is far more intelligent and articulate then the combined skills of all on The View.
