Is This Whoopi Goldberg’s Dumbest Rant Ever?

by

Whoopi Goldberg is the unofficial leader of TV’s dumbest show.

The award-winning individual oversees “The View,” a talk show that combines hostility, falsehoods, and wild speculations about conspiracies, under the banner of women’s empowerment.

And Goldberg is often the worst offender.

This week, the “Color Purple” star found herself competing with her co-hosts in a contest over who could reach the lowest point of intellectual depth. Goldberg, who once proposed that President Donald Trump would break up interracial families, ventured even further into extreme territory when discussing news from Iran.

In a controversial turn of events, the authoritarian nation is facing an assault from Israel, sparking intense debate across various platforms such as talk shows, podcasts, and social media.

Enter “The View.”

In a segment posted by user Collin Rugg, Goldberg found herself engaged in a discussion with Sarah Haines and Alyssah Farah Griffin. Throughout the video, the comedian skillfully maneuvered her words, drawing comparisons between America and Iran that left even her fellow hosts taken aback.

Farah Griffin remarked, “It’s important to recall that Iran reportedly executes individuals for their sexual orientation by throwing them off buildings, highlighting their brutal treatment.

Goldberg strongly disagreed with the regime’s harsh stand on homosexuality, considering it as an insignificant issue.

Goldberg exclaimed, “Let’s avoid doing such things! You see, historically, our actions have included the cruel act of tying LGBTQ+ individuals to cars here in this nation.

She could be alluding to the 1998 incident involving Matthew Shepard’s death, a sorrowful event whose complexities deepened as further details unfolded.

It’s clear that an isolated incident of murder doesn’t equate to a cultural standard, and unfortunately, discussing these topics isn’t one of Goldberg’s strengths. She went on to mention the unfortunate period of U.S.-based lynchings, a dark chapter in American history, though they are no longer frequent news items or happening regularly.

Two straw men arguments in mere seconds. It’s vintage Whoopi. But she wasn’t done.

In an effort to maintain rationality during their discussion, Farah Griffin pointed out that it wouldn’t be feasible for her to dress as she does on American television shows while living under the strict regime of Iran, which is known for its repression.

“I can’t have my hair showing. I can’t wear a skirt,” Farah Griffin said.

Goldberg wasn’t moved, pushing forward with her equivalency argument.

Goldberg asserted that taking a life because of someone’s unique qualities is wrong, regardless of who carries it out. This statement seems self-evident, yet it may have served as a pause in the conversation. Despite this apparent delay, the crowd still showed their approval.

Farah Griffin tried to steer the conversation back to sanity anew.

She suggested that living in the United States in 2025 contrasts significantly with life in Iran.

“Not if you’re black,” Goldberg countered.

The situation seems to call to mind John Mellencamp likening the struggles faced by African Americans in 2024 to those endured during the era of slavery, when compared to their experiences, as he said to Bill Maher.

In a recent statement, Goldberg expressed, “I’d like to share some insights about this nation. This is indeed an exceptional country, but…” Before criticizing it for its high crime rate, he posed these questions: “Every day, we find ourselves anxious. Could our children be in danger? Might they get shot just for playing in someone else’s neighborhood?

As a passionate advocate for women’s rights, I steered our discussion towards the heartrending situation faced by Iranian women. Given our show’s commitment to feminism, this approach felt fitting and appropriate.

No luck.

Farah Griffin attempted a final time to bring clarity to TV’s dumbest show.

She pointed out that everyone recognizes the genuine issues our nation faces, yet she felt it was crucial to keep in mind that there are other places facing even more challenging circumstances than ours.

Goldberg countered by saying not everyone shares that viewpoint, and he pointed out an important historical fact: it wasn’t until 1965 that black people were given the right to vote, which seems like a rather misleading interpretation of our past events.

Farah Griffin contended that Iran doesn’t hold genuine or impartial elections, likening it to a completely different world.

“There’s no way I can make you understand,” Goldberg said.

After years in Hollywood, she clearly presented a valid argument. It can be quite challenging for anyone to comprehend her thoughts each day.
