Reaction to Trump’s Remarks

In a fiery response that has garnered significant attention, Whoopi Goldberg, one of the beloved co-hosts of ABC's "The View," has fiercely addressed Donald Trump's recent derogatory comments made during one of his Pennsylvania rallies. Trump disparaged Goldberg, labeling her as “filthy, dirty, disgusting,” igniting a wave of reactions from both the studio audience and social media.

Goldberg's Comeback on 'The View'

On the episode aired on October 10, Goldberg didn't hold back as she and her fellow co-hosts tackled the former president's remarks head-on. At the show's opening, she humorously referenced Trump's insult, stating, "We walked out to ‘Dirty’ by Christina Aguilera because it’s one of the words that you-know-who used when he was talking about me."

Highlighting Trump's History with Goldberg

Goldberg continued, noting that Trump spent significant time at his recent rallies attacking her and the show's interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. She swiftly played a clip from the rally, where Trump fired off insults, claiming that Goldberg had once admired him before his political career took off.

Trump’s comments about his past experiences working with Goldberg were also highlighted. He recalled, "I said I’d never hire her again," following his condemnation of her on-stage persona. But Goldberg was quick to embrace her reputation, responding proudly, "I was filthy, and stand on that fact. I have always been filthy, and you knew that when you hired me."

Goldberg's Bold Assertion

In a bold assertion, she reminded Trump, “You hired me four times,” delivering a punchline that left the audience applauding. "How dumb are you?" she added jestingly.

Co-host Sunny Hostin's Remarks

In a notable moment during the segment, co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in with her own pointed commentary directed at Trump. “Thank you for telling so many lies, and committing so many alleged crimes," she said, implying that Trump’s controversies provide fertile ground for them to craft their discussions and show content.

Hostin, a former prosecutor, didn’t shy away from reminding Trump of his many legal challenges, joking, “I admit, I may have not spent as much time in a courtroom as you have.” She also referenced Goldberg's legal accomplishments, linking them to the impressive yet tumultuous history of the Justice Department's pursuits against Trump.

Closing Remarks and an Invitation

Closing her fiery remarks, Goldberg extended an invitation to Trump, suggesting, “You’re always welcome to come here and answer some [questions], if sitting so close to a prosecutor won’t make you nervous.” With a cheeky tone, she added, “I’ll even give you a free View mug, not to be confused though with a mugshot.”

Ongoing Tensions with Trump

This spirited exchange has not only highlighted the ongoing tension between Trump's camp and many in the entertainment industry, but it also underscores Goldberg's fearless attitude when addressing political figures and their remarks. As the political landscape continues to heat up, viewers are left anticipating how this saga will unfold in future shows. Stay tuned!
