Whoopi Goldberg Gets Heckled Live On Air During Taping Of ‘The View’
The tide is turning against the partisan, insufferable know-nothing hosts of The View, as a courageous audience member blasted Whoopi Goldberg at the beginning of taping for their Wednesday show.
It apparently got the attention of Whoopi and her co-hosts, who immediately had to address the situation before resuming their normal banter.
“We’re happy to see ya’ll. Cool, well, go on and have a seat,” Goldberg stated before turning her attention to the heckler.
“Did you just call me an old broad? Yeah?” she then said. The camera panned to a woman sitting near the front of the stage.
“She said, ‘You old broad,’ and I was like, hey, it’s Wednesday, and I am an old broad, and happy about it,” she remarked, attempting to downplay the insult. Co-host Sonny Hostin chimed in by saying that the term “old broad” was preferable to any alternative slurs.
Indeed, there is no shortage of online commentators that would have used far more descriptive language to heckle the racist and anti-Semitic host.
“The alternative is not attractive to any of us,” Goldberg replied. “We all want to be old broads and old dudes, you know?” It is doubtful anyone wants to be old, let alone an old broad, so clearly Whoopi was just filling air time.
The hilarious heckling was captured on film and can be seen below.
