Whoopi Airs Fever Dream On Live TV, Says Musk And Vance Could Be Plotting Hostile Takeover

[Ubiquitous]

“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg — with an assist from cohost Joy Behar —
suggested that entrepreneur Elon Musk and Vice President-elect JD Vance were
plotting a hostile takeover to gain control of the White House.

During Thursday’s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show, Goldberg wondered
about the amount of influence Musk was having on policy as Trump’s
inauguration approaches.

Noting that she was not the only person questioning “who is in charge,” she
added, “I’ve been saying it for a while. I’ve been saying that Elon Musk
believes he’s president. I do.”

“Well, you’ve been calling him vice president,” Behar interjected.

“I called him vice president, I called him president, because I don’t know
what JD is doing,” Goldberg continued. “I hardly ever — I don’t — I don’t
remember the last time we even talked about JD.”

“He’s planning the presidency when they get rid of Trump,” Behar said.

“So you think it’s Musk — Musk-Vance?” Goldberg asked.

“It’s possible,” Behar replied.

Goldberg then turned to the camera, addressing Trump directly despite the
fact that she still refuses to say his name aloud: “Hey, You-Know-Who, stay
away from the stairways.”

comments about Trump by claiming she was thinking about her cat: "My
cat lays in wait for me on my stairs all the time and that's what I
was referring [to]."

By the time the show came back from commercial break, Goldberg had apparently
thought better of suggesting that someone might try to kill Trump and take
control of the presidency.

“Okay, I need to clean something up,” she said. “Because my cat lays in wait
for me on my stairs all the time and that’s what I was referring — I was
thinking of that, I wasn’t trying to indicate that they were actually
standing there with their legs out, hoping he would trip.”

“No one wants anything done to the president,” cohost Sunny Hostin added.

“It was light-hearted and it’s the holidays, come on,” she complained. “My
goodness!”

“We did not mean that anybody should hurt the president,” Hostin said again.

Critics quickly pointed out the fact that “The View” falls under ABC’s “news”
division — and that the network just agreed on Saturday to shell out millions
over “This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos’ on-air false claims that
President-elect Donald Trump had been found “liable for rape” in the E. Jean
Carroll case.

“Fresh off a $15 million defamation settlement, ABC allows The View to
fantasize about assassination plots against President-elect Trump,” Chad
Gilmartin posted.

JD Vance would be able, if President Trump were unable to perform
the duties of President. Musk can only hope to be some sort of
advisor.

Here is when Musk can have some degree of power. He can lobby to
have certain actions taken. As anyone can. But here's the difference:
Musk will have greater access to the President than the average
person.

There is nothing to support such a position. It's reasonable to
believe he will have some degree of influence. But that isn't even the
same area code as being President.

So learning the Constitution wasn't a part of their education?
Musk can never hold either office. He can't be President as he wasn't
born an American citizen. And anyone who cannot be President cannot be
Vice President.
This is typically taught in sixth grade.

She wasn't talking about her cat. It's far more plausible she was
trying to be "edgy" with a lame joke. She failed.

It's clear she wasn't actually suggesting anyone should try to
harm anyone.

But it's clear Whoopi's statement wasn't intended as a news bite.
It's obvious she was trying to make a joke. And, as is more than norm
with her than not, it failed.
She has always done well enough as an actress. But she was never
very good at stand-up.
