With the polls in Georgia narrowing and Republicans surging nationwide, the cackling coven of ABC’s The View was terrified on Thursday that Republican candidate Herschel Walker would beat out Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock for his seat in Georgia. So, to do their part, the staunch racists in Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin had their knives out to assert that Walker was “willingly” “being used” as a token black man by racist Republicans.
What was the impetus for their triggered ranting this time? South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham (R) calling out how Walker sinks the liberal narrative that the GOP is racist:
They’re beating all of our guys up, but what is it about this guy? He changes the entire narrative of the left. We’re a party of racists, Sean. Me and you are racists. The Republican Party is racist. Well, what happens when the Republican Party elects and nominates Herschel Walker, an African American, black Heisman trophy winner, right? Olympian. It destroys the whole narrative.
“Does it though?” scoffed co-host Sara Haines, desperate to hold on to the BIG LIE. “Yeah, does it really?” Hostin agreed.
Goldberg sneered at the camera as she proceeded to twist Graham’s comments. “So here’s the thing you need to know, Lindsey. Just because we see a black person does not mean we do monkey see, monkey do,” she declared.
Her rage swelled as the masked liberal audience applauded. And despite being one of the most ignorant people on television, Goldberg accused Graham of sounding ignorant and falsely suggested Democrats don’t select people candidates based on skin color:
[Applause]
And I’m sure that you don’t know how insulting that is, but let us just say to you, don’t ever say that again because you look ignorant as hell. Don’t do that.
[Applause]
I mean, you know, it doesn’t work that way. It may work that way for you because we know what you are doing. Okay? We know what you are up to, but we don’t just go get people because they look the right way. We actually have to find the people that can actually do the damn job. That’s what we want.
[Applause]
The idea that Democrats don’t pick people based on race is ridiculous since Joe Biden admitted race was the major factor in picking Kamala Harris to be his running mate. He also made it very clear – to the excitement of The View – that he nominated Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson because of her skin color.
Hostin immediately followed up by falsely asserting that the only reason Walker enjoyed Republican support was because of his race and nothing else. “I think the sad thing about this is, you know, Herschel Walker is woefully underqualified for this job and the only reason he was chosen … is because Raphael Warnock, the senator in Georgia is black. And they wanted someone who was black to confront him, to oppose him,” she bloviated.
Goldberg then suggested that Republicans picked him in an attempt to trick black people, thinking “we can’t tell each other apart.” “Exactly,” Hostin agreed. She added that the GOP was “using” Walker and he was “willingly” letting it happen:
HOSTIN: And I think it’s sad that the GOP is using Herschel Walker in that way and he’s letting himself be used because I really do think he’s being used. And I think he probably has —
GOLDBERG: I think willingly.
HOSTIN: Willingly.
This is just the latest instance of racism being put on full display on The View. As NewsBusters has long documented, Hostin is one of the most racist figures on TV. She once attacked former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley for her skin tone and name, calling her a racial “chameleon.” And she calls black and Latino Republicans oxymorons and suggests they’re race traitors, using air quotes to describe their race.
To them, blacks are only allowed to be Democrats. Proving Graham correct.

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-SC): They’re beating all of our guys up, but what is it about this guy? He changes the entire narrative of the left. We’re a party of racists, Sean. Me and you are racists. The Republican Party is racist. Well, what happens when the Republican Party elects and nominates Herschel Walker, an African American, black Heisman trophy winner, right? Olympian.

HOSTIN: Well, I think that’s the sad thing about this. I think the sad thing about this is, you know, Herschel Walker is woefully underqualified for this job and the only reason he was chosen – and also supported by Trump – is because Raphael Warnock, the senator in Georgia is black.

GOLDBEGR: To fool them because we can’t tell each other apart.
