The View Hosts, Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin, wasted no time clapping back at Donald Trump after the former president jabbed them for welcoming Vice President Kamala Harris as a guest on its Tuesday episode.
The former president called “The View” co-hosts “really dumb people” at a rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday.
He specifically went after Goldberg, recounting how he once hired the “demented” EGOT winner to perform at a comedy event at one of his casinos, calling her act “filthy dirty” and having a “foul mouth.”
“She was so filthy, dirty, disgusting, half the place left. I said I’d never hire her again,” he said of Whoopi Goldberg. “She was so dirty. Every word was filthy, dirty. What a loser she is.”
Donal Trump also called Sunny Hostin, who is a Black Latina, “dumber than Kamala,” saying, “That is one dumb woman. Sorry. I’m sorry, women, she’s a dummy.”
On Thursday’s (October 10) episode of the ABC talk show, Goldberg and Hostin expertly responded to the former president’s verbal attacks.
“So we walked out to ‘Dirty’ by Christina Aguilera because it’s one of the words that you-know-who used when he was talking about me in particular,” Goldberg introduced the show.
I was filthy, and stand on that fact,” Goldberg said proudly to audience applause.
“I have always been filthy, and you knew that when you hired me,” she retorted. “I headlined, babe, at your casino, which I might’ve continued to play had you not run it into the ground. How dumb are you? You hired me four times.
“You know how dirty I wasn’t? I never grabbed anybody by their genitalia,” she also said, referencing the “Access Hollywood” video in which Trump boasted about grabbing women sexually without consent.
Sunny Hostin jumped in with a “personal legal note.”
“I have a personal legal note,” said Hostin. “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.”
She continued, “I was also recognized with a special achievement 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 have had a history of prosecuting sex offenders, so thank you for keeping people like us in business.”
