Whoopi Goldberg came unglued on her ABC talk show The View once again this week. This time, she unraveled as she ranted against Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Goldberg Comes Attacks ICE
Goldberg lost it during a discussion about the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Each of them were fatally shot by ICE agents during heated confrontations this month.
Co-host Sunny Hostin expressed her hopes that their “tragic” deaths may be the catalyst for “change in Minnesota.” That’s when Goldberg let loose and let her feelings on this be known.
“Look, I have been bitching about this for months—for months—that if we don’t start paying attention, nothing is going to change,” Goldberg began. “And we kept saying, ‘Where is the line in the sand?’”
Goldberg went on to describe Petti and Good as people who they “tried to disparage, and couldn’t.”
“And people are starting to say, ‘Well wait a minute, you said this was for people who were bad. We were going to get people who were bad and we were putting them out f the country,’” she continued. “Instead, we’re finding that you’re putting out children, you’re putting out families.”
Goldberg then said that attendance at immigration check-ins signifies “you’re following the rules.”
“So now you’re telling me I can’t do that, which makes me criminal suddenly. So what is it? What is it?” she added. “Y’all need to get out of Minneapolis. You gotta get out of there, because I said it the other day and I said it again, you’re not helping.”
Goldberg Doubles Down
Not stopping there, Goldberg proceeded to call on both ICE and the Trump administration to “stop not being truthful.” According to her, “everyone now doesn’t trust you, and everyone’s phone is out, and we are seeing things we should not be seeing.”
“Little kids should not have to see people getting shot on the streets of this country,” Goldberg concluded. “This is not some backwater. This is America. So if you keep talking about, ‘Oh, we have to take our country back.’ Yeah, the people, for midterms, are going to take their country back, because they’re tired of this.”

Goldberg’s Previous Comments
Goldberg previously lashed out over Pretti’s death earlier in the week.
“They murdered a man. He is standing, he has his phone and he has a bottle of water. And they shot him ten times. What the —,” Goldberg, 70, said as she became visibly emotionial. “I don’t know what you’re investigating, if you’re not investigating the straight up murder — the straight up murder. This is the second one, the second murder of an American citizen.”
“If you don’t see it, it’s willful,” she continued. “It’s because you’re not looking. You can’t sit by this.”
Not stopping there, Goldberg proceeded to call out Kristi Noem. Indeed, Noem is the current secretary of homeland security and the Border Patrol Commander.
“Kristi Noem, you can’t justify this. Mr. Bovino, you can’t justify this,” Goldberg said. “You can’t justify either one, and we all see it and we see you for what you are. You all have blood on your hands.”

Goldberg can rant and rave all that she wants to, but she won’t be changing anyone’s minds anytime soon. In the end, the only people who are listening to Goldberg’s political opinions are people who were already always going to vote left anyway. Sorry, Whoopi, but you’re wasting your breath.
Good riddance, Whoopi Goldberg!
