Whoopi Goldberg ‘Shocked’ To Report That Texas Flooding Is NOT Trump’s Fault
By Virginia Kruta
“It’s important, I think, for everyone to understand — and I’m shocked that this is coming out of my mouth.”
“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg was shocked to admit that President Donald Trump is not at fault for the massive flash floods that have devastated central Texas, killing more than 100 people when the Guadalupe River rose some 26 feet in about 45 minutes.
Goldberg, who still refuses to speak Trump’s name aloud on the ABC midday talk show, actually stepped in to stop cohost Joy Behar when she pointed the finger at the president during Tuesday’s broadcast.
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin addressed those who were attempting to politicize the flooding, claiming that President Donald Trump’s efforts to streamline the federal government — mainly through the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — had had a negative impact on the National Weather Service’s ability to accurately predict the floods and warn residents in time.
“I think after action reports are really important but politicizing and pointing fingers is not the answer,” Griffin said.
“Yeah, but Trump does it all the time. He immediately — he immediately starts the blame game,” Behar objected. “So maybe Ms. Leavitt should talk to her boss.”
