Whoopi Goldberg finally addressed the Jimmy Kimmel fiasco this morning on The View.
Whoopi opened the show saying this: “No one silences us…we’re still here…we’re still broadcasting.”
But in the end The View didn’t really tackle the Kimmel situation with ABC. They side stepped it very carefully with nary a mention of the talk show host’s suspension.
Whoopi said the lack of comment last Thursday was because they were waiting for Kimmel to say something. “Did y’all think we weren’t going to address this?”
Notably, Joy Behar is not on today’s show. No explanation.
Whoopi says to Donald Trump: “You don’t understand how the First Amendment works.”
It looks like the gloves are off. The View used clips of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and other politicians decrying censorship.
This may be Disney clearing the path for Kimmel to return. It certainly shows a little backbone on the part of the network.
A full transcript and video will be available later.
In the second segment, the group discusses the FCC with almost no talk of Kimmel.
keep refreshing….
