Whoopi Goldberg always has the most distasteful takes, but I think she’s really outdone herself this time…
During The View, Whoopi Goldberg pushed a strange narrative I’ve seen lots of leftists doing recently — that Elon Musk is the so-called ‘real’ President or Vice President.
“Who is in charge?” Whoopi asked, “Because I’ve been saying it for a while. I’ve been saying it – I think Elon Musk believes he’s president. I do.”
She then went on to suggest something really sick and despicable.
After Joy Behar ridiculously suggested that Elon Musk and JD Vance are conspiring against President Trump to take the presidency, Whoopi ‘jokingly’ warned Trump to “stay away from the stairways.”
After realizing the implications of her little ‘joke,’ Whoopi then quickly tried to do damage control with some explanation about how she was not referring to ass*ssinating the president, but how her cat waits for her on the staircase.
Or something…
Watch for yourself here, so you can get all the context:
Whoopi Goldberg just joked about Musk and Vance ass*ss*nating President Trump by making him fall down the stairs.
ABC needs to fire Whoopi.

Whoopi Goldberg asks “Who is in charge” when referring to Elon Musk’s relationship with President-elect Trump.
Friends, make no mistake this is a coordinated attempt by the left and media to pit Elon and Trump against one another. It’s the classic divide and conquer. They’re… pic.twitter.com/kQHqPgsu0D

The New York Post reported:
“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg made a joke about Elon Musk and JD Vance killing Donald Trump on Thursday’s episode of the daytime talkshow, one which left her scrambling to clean up.
Goldberg, 69, made the quip during a conversation about the way Musk, 53, has inserted himself into the debate about the bipartisan spending bill that lawmakers on Capitol Hill are hoping to pass and in turn avoid a government shutdown.
“Who is in charge?” asked Goldberg, a vocal critic of President-elect Trump, 78. “Because I’ve been saying it for a while. I’ve been saying it – I think Elon Musk believes he’s president. I do.”
“I’ve called him vice president. I’ve called him president. Because I don’t know what JD is doing,” she added, referring to the VP-elect, 40. “I don’t remember the last time we even talked about JD.”
“The View” co-host Joy Behar, 82, then chimed in, saying of Vance, “He’s planning the presidency when they get rid of Trump.”
Looking surprised, Goldberg then asked Behar, “You think it’s ‘Musk-Vance’?” alluding to a theoretical presidential ticket with Musk at the top.
“Possible,” Behar replied.
ADVERTISEMENT“Mmmmm,” Goldberg mused to a silent studio audience before joking, “Hey, you know who [Trump] – stay away from the stairways.”
“Because, you know, people put their leg out to trip you going down the stairs. Watch out,” she added to laughs and claps.
Potentially worried about the joke being misconstrued — and receiving a call from the Secret Service — Goldberg attempted to walk back the joke after a commercial break.
“I need to clean something up,” she began. “My cat lays in wait for me on my stairs all the time. That’s what I was referring to.”
Whoopi really should be more careful with what she’s saying right now.
I don’t think the executives at ABC will be too pleased if they’re hit with another multi-million dollar lawsuit after being forced to pay out the pricey settlement that George Stephanopoulos just cost them…
Whoopi better tread lightly with those ‘jokes’ — one wrong step and she’ll be writing Trump a $15M check and following Georgie boy out the ABC exit door. Careful, Whoopi… those stairs can be real slippery. 😂

Plus, this ‘Elon Musk is the real president’ schtick is getting really old.
Everyone can see right through the desperate, liberal tactic to drive division between the President Trump, Elon Musk, JD Vance and their followers in order to prevent them from getting things done…
And, it’s not going to work.
This is a streamlined tactic. They’re trying to create division between Musk/Trump by working against their egos.
Other outlets are saying the exact same thing. Liberals are easy to read.

Nice try, @TheView but The People are United against a corrupt system while you are defending & supporting the continuance of oppression of The People.
We’re ALL in charge; every single citizen who voted for Trump, & that includes @elonmusk— Pistolannie (@Pistolannie31) December 19, 2024
