Whoopi Goldberg Goes Ballistic on DeSantis Over New Florida Curriculum.

ABC’s “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg appeared to imply that Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is attempting to get rid of black people.

The co-hosts charged DeSantis with attacking black people and disregarding their voting rights and history. Their comments are in response to the Florida Department of Education adopting a course on slavery and African American history.

“Listen. We’ve built the White House, we have — listen. I’m tired of explaining it. I’m tired of explaining it. You know, and just so we’re clear, we’re not going anywhere. We’ve been here, Mr. DeSantis. Many of us have been here for generations. Can you say the same? No, I don’t think he can,” Goldberg declared emotionally.

Below is a transcript of the exchange:

HOSTIN: “… black people because we built this joint for free. (Applause) That’s what this is about.” [crosstalk]

Goldberg: “Also don’t — don’t forget — don’t forget that this is —“

HOSTIN: “We’ve built the White House.”

Goldberg: “— this is what — this is — we — listen. We’ve built the White House.”
GRIFFIN: “Twice.”

HOSTIN: “Yeah, twice. We’ve built it twice.”

Goldberg: “We have John — listen, we’ve been here — I’m tired of explaining it.”

Goldberg: “I’m tired of explaining it.” (Applause)

BEHAR: “Yeah.”

Goldberg: “You know. And just so we’re clear, we’re not going anywhere. We’ve been here, Mr. DeSantis. Many of us have been here for generations. Can you say the same?”

BEHAR: “I don’t think he can.”

Goldberg: “No, I don’t think he can.” [crosstalk]

HOSTIN: “No, he can’t actually.”

GRIFFIN: “By the way, he’s — not that this is what matters — he’s undercut his best argument was electability against Trump. I’m the more electable candidate. In the past few weeks alone in addition to this fiasco, around AP black history, he’s also had to let a staffer go for sharing an outright Nazi meme. He’s put out that insane anti-LGBTQ Pride Month video that he’d never I don’t believe denounced, and every day there’s just a new report of like chaos within his campaign. He keeps — and I once — you guys know this. I once liked DeSantis. I was like, ‘Oh, he seems interesting.’ He’s revealing himself and shrinking the pool of potential voters for himself. It is a bad strategy. I think this is a lane actually. I think Tim Scott or Nikki Haley will overcome him as the number two in the race.”

BEHAR: “But he has overseen gerrymandering in Florida to weaken the black vote also.”
