Yahoo Lifestyle Whoopi Goldberg Gets Brutal After Donald Trump Calls Her ‘Filthy’
Whoopi Goldberg sure didn’t pull any punches when she attacked Donald Trump on Thursday’s broadcast of “The View.”
To be fair, Trump started things on Wednesday, first by referring to the hosts of “The View” as “degenerates” and “dumb women” on his Truth Social platform.
Later in the day, he lashed out at the EGOT winner during a rally in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Trump was apparently unhappy the show interviewed his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, earlier in the week. As a result, he referred to the ABC talk show as “that stupid ‘View’ where you have these really dumb people.”
He then singled out Goldberg to the crowd and said he lamented hiring her for an event because “her mouth was so foul” and “every word out of her mouth was like the F-word.”
On Thursday, Goldberg returned the favor during the opening minutes of the show, first by admitting that, yes, she was “filthy,” before hitting Trump where it hurts: criticizing his business acumen.
“I have always been filthy,” Goldberg said. “And you knew that when you hired me. I headline babe at your casino, which I might have continued to play had you not run it into the ground.”
Goldberg then bluntly asked the former president, “How dumb are you?” She then she went on to say:
“You hired me four times. You go to William Morris and get the things, because I know you all are going to be looking for it. But talk to William Morris.
“You hired me four times and you didn’t know what you were getting. How dumb are you?”
You can see Goldberg’s gripe around the 2:25 mark in the video below.
