Quote:Whoopi Goldberg, who once called communism a “great concept” that “makes perfect sense,” came unglued during a recent episode of ABC’s “The View.”
Goldberg attacked HBO host Bill Maher for mocking what he called the “mask-paranoid world.”
“This is not something we’re doing because it’s sexually gratifying,” she snapped at him. “That’s not really funny to people who’ve lost their kids to this vaccine or people who have lost family members.
Liberal co-host Sara Haines went even further, admitting that she “may never ride a subway again without a mask.”
During the segment, Maher said, “I don’t want to live in your paranoid world anymore, your mask-paranoid world.”
“You know, you go out, it’s silly now. You mask; you have to have a card; you have to have a booster; they scan your head like you’re a cashier and I’m a bunch of bananas. I’m not bananas; you are,” Maher said.
Goldberg continued her rant by saying, “Listen, nobody on the planet really wants to go through this… This is what we’re doing to protect our families.”
“And you don’t have to do it, but stay away from everybody, because if you are the one who’s not paying attention and you’re coughing and sneezing, then stay out of the public, man. Nobody wants this. I don’t want it,” she continued.
“And I think he’s forgetting people are still at risk who cannot get vaccinated, little kids under the age of five or people with health conditions. How dare you be so flippant, man?” she said.
Haines said, “There’s a new normal. In the beginning, at post 9/11, people didn’t want to fly, and the security measures felt like, ‘Uhhh … how do we do this?’ And now it’s the norm.”
“I think some of the things we’ve learned in this pandemic are going to stay the same. I may never ride a subway again without a mask,” she said.
“I may never go indoors to big crowds and ever feel comfortable without a mask. And that’s up to me to do that,” she said.
“What I think is changing, though, are some of the things that are happening in treating this virus as it is right now, as we did in 2020 and 2021, because this Omicron variant, one interesting statistic is: if you’re vaccinated and boosted, the deaths are now equal to the people dying of the flu each year,” Haines said.
“So people who are vaccinated and boosted and are being prudent, we need to learn how to coexist with this lesser variant. Highly transmissible but much less severe.”
