Former first lady Melania Trump scared up a good dose of media attention this week with her new memoir, a coffee-table book in which she apparently voices her pro-abortion bonafide.
Her departure from the traditional Republican stance on abortion sparked a diatribe from “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who lectured Christians about how, from her perspective, they ought to see the issue.
After a lengthy back-and-forth between the show’s panelists — which devolved into nothing more than co-host Sunny Hostin launching a string of inflammatory and unsubstantiated allegations about the personal lives and private thoughts of former President Donald Trump and his wife — Goldberg regained the floor and turned the conversation away from baseless claims that even co-host Joy Behar questioned toward “all of those Christians and Catholics out there” who oppose abortion.
“I’d like to remind all those Christians and Catholics out there that it is a much bigger conversation than just abortion,” the 68-year-old Goldberg said, going on to seemingly suggest pro-lifers are not concerned about the safety and wellbeing of mothers. “If you are concerned about what this does to a human being in their life, is this the way Jesus wants you to be? Is this the way Jesus wants you to act?”
She continued, “Doesn’t Jesus want you to be able to say to somebody, ‘Come over here, I know you must be goin’ through somethin’ tough,’ opposed to what we’re seeing? This is insane.”
During the segment, Hostin asserted Melania Trump “hates” her husband and “wants to take him out,” presumably referring to the race for the presidency, though she didn’t make that entirely clear.
“She does not want to be the first lady anymore,” Hostin claimed of Melania Trump. “She destroyed the Rose Garden. Who hates Christmas? Melania Trump hates Christmas. She doesn’t want to decorate for Christmas, she doesn’t want anything to do with it. She doesn’t want to sleep in the same room with him. She can’t tolerate him.”
Goldberg quickly inserted the word “allegedly” to Hostin’s list of allegations, prompting even Behar to ask, “How do you know all this?” That led Goldberg to, once again, repeat the word, “allegedly.”
