Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was right when she called Donald Trump supporters “deplorables,” according to The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg.
Launching into an unhinged rant, Goldberg also defended Joe Biden’s comment that Trump supporters are “garbage,” declaring that they need to “stop clutching their pearls.”
“So you know they’re working very hard to spin this to some crazy end, but this is my problem, let me explain to y’all,” Whoopi said. “I don’t understand why all the pearl clutching over Biden’s statement. Why they all have a problem with what Biden said when what this other guy has said.”
The View’s hosts react to Biden’s “garbage” comment, with Whoopi Goldberg saying:

She continued, “Let’s see all the stuff he’s talked about what he’s called Democrats, evil, dangerous, marxists, communists, fascists, sick people, the enemy within and said all that just this week.”
She added, “So I don’t understand why you clutching your pearls. You’re trying to make something out of a tongue slip. Yeah, Hillary called these folks deplorable. yeah, okay.”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “There is a completely unfair standard with Donald Trump where people, I’m saying there is an unfair standard where his supporters have decided it’s baked in when he insults people but do take offense. Deplorables did matter, that comment from Hillary Clinton.”
Goldberg doubled down and defended Hillary, saying “But it turned out she was right.”
