Dear Judge Jeanine Please Don’t Blame Us - Whoopi Goldberg Is a Stage Name

Judge Jeanine Pirro appeared on The View Thursday to “sell” her new book “Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy,” and host Whoopi Goldberg whose birth name is Caryn Johnson went crazy (but more about the stage name later).  No really! Whoppi screamed at the Judge on-air, tossed her off the show, and then cursed the judge like an angry sailor.

Judge I need to fill in the people who didn’t watch The View since you lived through it, you can skip to the part that reads “Which brings me to the stage name.”

Whoopi started with an anti-Trump opening statement. But the meltdown began with Ana Navarro asking a question

You just said you’re not an ideologue. Let me ask you a question. Do you think Donald Trump embraces and embodies conservative ideology? He used to have a different position on pro-choice. He is imposing tariffs. He’s against globalism. Do you think he’s an ideologue that is faithful to conservative policies?

After denying that she was there to talk about what type of conservative Trump was, Whoopi demanded, “You have to answer the question!” Pirro explained how better off the country was with Trump as president.

“You want to talk about Donald Trump? You tell me what metric in the country is worse off? Unemployment is lower than it’s been for 50 years. Minorities. Hispanics. African Americans,” she started to list off as the table erupted. Whoopi shook her head and told her to “Stop, stop.”

“Hate crimes are what’s up!” Navarro quipped as Hostin tried to claim that Obama was the one responsible for the country’s current economy. Pirro rebutted that claim.

“The GDP under Obama was barely 1. We’re going up to 4,” she shot back. Meghan McCain urged the importance for the hosts to understand why Trump was still garnering high support among Republicans.

“I also think it’s important as we said. 89% of the Republicans support him. He still has a huge popularity in the country. If Democrats don’t get their you know what together, he’ll certainly be re-elected,” she warned.

That’s when the Judge pushed Whoopi’s button and the host lost it. The Judge told Whoopi “You’re suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

“Listen, I don’t have Trump Derangement. Let me tell you what I have. I’m tired of people starting a conversation with Mexicans are liars and rapists.”

“Listen, I’m 62 years old. There have been a lot of people in office that I didn’t agree with. But I have never, ever seen anything like this. I have never seen anybody whip up such hate. I have never seen anybody be so dismissive.

“What I suffer from is the inability to figure out how to fix this, That’s my issue.”

The Judge fought back,

Your opening statement, how horrible it is that Donald Trump is talking about all of these people, you know what’s horrible? When people who shouldn’t be here end up murdering the children of American citizens.”

Whoopi exploded, throwing Pirro off the show.

“What is horrible is when the President of the United States whips up people to beat the hell out of people! Say goodbye! I’m done!”

But Whoopi wasn’t done.  Later in the day Judge Pirro was on the Sean Hannity show and explained:

“When I went off the stage, Sean, I was walking downstairs, and I said something like, ‘Whoopi, I’ve fought for victims all my life,’” Pirro said. “And she said ‘F you’ in my face, literally spitting at me. ‘F you, get the F out of this building!’”

Whoopi Goldberg is not an idiot, she knows that Judge Jeanine is a strong supporter of President Trump. I am sure she was briefed on Pirro’s book “Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy.” The very theme of the book is “Trump derangement syndrome.” If she didn’t want Jeanine Pirro to come on the show, she should have insisted that the producers don’t book her. Instead, she allowed the Fox host to come on the show. She riled up the Judge with her opening statement. The Pirro “fought back” but by trying to convince Whoopi, not screaming and cussing. Whoppi on the other hand, Whoopi who has been on The View for almost two decades and should have known better was totally unprofessional.
