By The FirstComedian Whoopi Goldberg veered into a public meltdown on The View Wednesday afternoon where she claimed Donald Trump would “disappear gay people” if elected.
“Beware the media,” she warned. “That voting bloc has lots of issues that they want addressed, they do, and they have every right to demand that from whoever the candidate is gonna be.”
“But I will say this until it’s time to go vote, beware the media telling us what we’re doing. Only you know what you’re doing,” Goldberg continued. “You know what’s upsetting you, and you will discuss it when you go and make your vote. Now, there are lots of things that we all wish that the candidates would talk about, whether it’s on the left or on the right. We wish they would talk about what mattered to us.”
“I’m here to say, it is ours to lose. This is what it’s all about. Either you want it to work forward-thinking, you want everybody to have the ability to say how they feel, what they want, to move forward, or you don’t. Or do you want somebody who says, ‘I’m going to be, on day one, I’m going to be a dictator.’ Who says it to you, tells you, ‘I’m going to put you people away. I’m going to take all the journalists, I’m going to take all the gay folks, and I’ll move you all around and disappear you.’”
