Whoopi Goldberg is raising eyebrows again on “The View” — this time for her remarks inspired by the criminal case against former President Donald Trump.
The co-hosts of the long-running daytime talk show discussed Trump’s indictment on Tuesday, hours before he was arraigned in Manhattan.
Trump, 76, pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Goldberg, 67, began the conversation by asking her colleagues: “How are you feeling a couple of historic day? You already know, it’s sad, but I’m glad something’s happening.”
“It’s not sad. What’s sad?” Joy Behar, 80, quickly spat back.
“Well, I’m sad that, in that [it is] an American president,” Goldberg reasoned.
“However the undeniable fact that he’s being called in for questioning etcetera, and he’s being indicted because he’s committed certain crimes shouldn’t be sad, that’s American justice,” Behar continued.
“It’s the primary time in any of our lifetimes, and I don’t think any of us could have ever really imagined this,” Goldberg added, to which Sunny Hostin, 54, responded, “I imagined it.”
“With him, no … with other presidents,” Goldberg clarified.
The Post has contacted reps for “The View” for comment.
Goldberg has made several gaffes on the show.
On March 15, the newly glasses-free Goldberg issued an apology for using a racial slur on the show during a discussion about Trump and Stormy Daniels, referencing “individuals who still imagine that he got gy—d in some way within the election.”
“You already know, once you’re a certain age you utilize the words that you already know from once you were a child otherwise you remember saying, and that’s what I did today — and I shouldn’t have,” Goldberg said in a video tweeted by the show’s official account.
“I must have considered it a bit of longer before I said it, and I didn’t. I must have said ‘cheated,’ and I used one other word, and I’m really, really sorry,” she added.
“Gypsy” is usually used to explain the Romani people, while the word Goldberg said is thought to hold negative connotations for being defrauded, swindled and cheated.
In December, Goldberg apologized for stating the Holocaust was “not about race” — a claim she previously made and apologized for.
