“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg was partially bleeped out during her criticism of President Trump attending the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
The panel commended Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for not criticizing Trump on foreign soil during an interview with MSNBC in France. They noted Trump had jabbed at 2020 candidate Joe Biden while he was in Japan.
“He’s out of control. He called Bette Midler, while at a state visit in England, he called her a washed-up psycho and a sick scammer,” Ana Navarro said.
“This is after she apologized. Everybody has done this, has retweeted something they thought was true, and then you realize it’s not, and then you say, ‘Hey, this wasn’t true, I cleaned it up.’ And he still called her a psycho,” Goldberg said.
“But it’s a little rich to watch him in Normandy, too, I have to say,” Joy Behar quipped.
Goldberg then said a few words that required her to be bleeped.
“I don’t even want to talk about what he did — I don’t want to talk about him there because it just —– out of me. I just don’t. All those people who went and gave their lives, they didn’t ask — they didn’t have bone spurs,” she said. “They went. People went — people went to fight the ugly that was happening. They went and did it. That’s all I’m going to say.”
Trump received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War, four of which were for education and another for bone spurs.
Speaking with Piers Morgan in the United Kingdom, Trump explained his feelings toward the conflict: “I thought it was a terrible war. I thought it was very far away, and at that time nobody ever heard of the country. So many people dying, what is happening over there? So I was never a fan.”
