At a recent rally, former President Trump criticized comedian and ABC moderator Whoopi Goldberg for how “filthy, dirty, [and] disgusting” her act was when he hired her to do a show at his casino many, many years ago. Despite being an EGOT winner, Goldberg’s apparently fragile ego needed to be avenged as she kicked off Thursday’s episode by having a meltdown and lashing out at her favorite hate object.

Goldberg started the show by diving right into her personal grievance with the former President, playing this edited soundbite:

Now, I've hired Whoopi to work for me as a comedian before this stuff and -- a long time ago. and I went, and, you know, I'm not particularly shy about what I hear. Her mouth was so foul. [Transition] She was so filthy, dirty, disgusting. Half the place left. I said I'd never hire her again.

“As it turns out I was filthy. I was filthy, and stand on that fact,” she proudly proclaimed. “I have always been filthy. And you knew that when you hired me. A headline, babe, at your casino which I might have continued to play had you not run it into the ground,” she sneered.

The snowflake really started to melt when she began to shriek about Trump being “dumb” for hiring her at all:

But, you know, listen, how dumb are you? You hired me four times. You go to William Morris and get the things because I know y'all going to be looking for it, so talk to William Morris. You hired me four time and you didn't know what you were getting? How dumb are you?

Goldberg got backup from Sunny Hostin who had a “personal legal note” where she thanked Trump for being their hate object and being the crutch for their show:

Donald Trump, I want to thank you for personally telling so many lies and committing so many alleged crimes and providing us with material on a daily basis. You help us do our jobs, and I'm so appreciative. Because of people like you, a former prosecutor and legal expert can become a fixture on a show like this. And again, I'm so grateful.

Hostin went on to make jokes about the Department of Justice’s apparent vendetta against him, and seemingly admitted her former employer has had it out for him “for decades”:

I admit I may not have spent as much time in a courtroom as you have. I was also recognized with a special achievement award by the Department of Justice. You remember the department of justice, right? It's the agency that's been pursuing you for decades. And like madam Vice President Kamala Harris, I've had a history of prosecuting sex offenders.

Her comments concluded with an allusion to Trump being too scared to appear on The View. “And as for dumb questions, you're always welcome to come here and answer some. If sitting so close to a prosecutor won't make you nervous,” she chided.

As NewsBusters previously reported back in April, the show’s executive producer made it clear they weren’t interest in having him on the show and essentially banned him.

But why would Trump even want to appear on The View? They cared so little for his life that they refused to dial back their hate even after the second attempt on his life. The ABC cast has also made it no secret that they’re in the tank for the Harris given their recent gushfest interviews with her and President Biden. And let’s not forget their incendiary rhetoric and repeated dehumanization of him and his running mate Senator J.D. Vance.
