Whoopi Goldberg brought the noise to former republican Presidential candidate, turned Trump supporter, Dr. Ben Carson, during his recent visit to “The View.”
Dr. Carson- a smart man who was the first doctor to successfully separate conjoined twins; a man whose beloved mother was very poor, could not read well, and was a cleaning lady for a Caucasian family- has somehow found a way to justify to himself why Donald Trump- a man who has made both racist and sexist comments- is the best Presidential candidate there is.
Needless to say, Whoopi and the other hosts on “The View” thought he’d lost his everlovin’ mind (like they used to say back in the day) and she had no problem voicing her frustration during their convo’ with Carson. Check out some of the conversation below and you can watch the full interview on page 2 of this article:
You have aligned yourself with the man who has bashed women, made countless racist remarks – you’re Ben Carson, why would you align yourself with that?’ asked Whoopi Goldberg.
‘Well, you know, you have to look at the good and the bad. There is no perfect person,’ said Carson. But you look at when Donald Trump first went down to the Palm Beach area, a lot of the [golf] clubs down there would not accept Jews and Blacks. He insisted on Jews and blacks and helped to break that open. So, has he said some things that I wouldn’t say or that you wouldn’t say? Of course,’Carson said.
Whoopi couldn’t believe what she was hearing and looked extremely shocked by Carson’s response. Is Carson he really saying that we should vote for Trump because he decided to make money off of wealthy African Americans who could afford to join his country clubs?!! Wait…there’s more…
Guest host, Attorney Sunny Hostin, chimed in and said this about Trump to Carson:
‘He was also sued by the Justice Department in the 70s for not allowing black tenants into his properties and he settled with the Justice Department. Even though he did not admit any wrongdoing, it’s very clear to us in the law that means that there was something amiss. The notion that he is a fan of the African-American community is maybe off base.’
Carson responded by saying:
“I have met a lot of his employees and a lot are African American and they have nothing but good things to say.’
He also went on to say that he really likes Trump because Trump isn’t “beholden” to the current political machine in D.C. that he claims is ruining the country and that’s when Whoopi just lost it:
“You can say that until the cows come home, sir. I’m sorry, he’s a racist and he’s not good for the country. You’re Ben Carson! You’re so much better than this!”
Then the topic then shifted to Trump’s offensive tweet that took jabs at his republican opponent, Ted Cruz’s, wife and still, Carson appeared to be in denial about Trump.
“If he had spoken to your wife the way he had spoken to some of these women, would you take that, sir?” asked Whoopi.
Carson then said “Let me tell you something. When you’re very nice, when you’re very respectful, you talk about the real issues and not get into all of these issues, where does it get you? It gets you where it got me. Nowhere.”
Whoopi looked as if she wanted to jump out of her chair at such a crazy reply by Carson:
“Is that what this is about? It can’t be about that,” said Whoopi.
Carson replied “Here’s my point. He and some of the other politicians, they do what people want. They say what people want to hear. What I have to do is look at who is most likely to oppose the ruling class that is ruining our country.”
“That’s how Hitler got in, sir…that’s how Hitler got in,” Whoopi replied.
While Carson was getting grilled on “The View” and Trump was getting called out left and right, Trump took it upon himself to tweet while all of this was happening and had some not so nice things to say about “The View” hosts…he went for the jugular! Turn the page to see what Trump said:
