I wonder what it is that the folks behind “The View” think about the content they are putting out with that show because it’s often such a festival of inaccuracy and delusion. If you’re looking for the person who says the craziest thing in a particular week, it’s often a close call between the ladies on “The View” and Joe Biden.

I wrote about Whoopi Goldberg’s defense of Joe Biden in the classified document scandal last week. Her remarks were quite something. But Whoopi certainly was going for the crown for this week with what she said on Monday.

“Seems things don’t seem to make sense to people unless it’s somebody they can feel or they can recognize,” Whoopi exclaimed. “But how many times do we have to – Do you we need to see white people also get beaten before anybody will do anything?” Whoopi then tried to recover and say she was “not suggesting that. So, don’t write us and tell me what a racist I am.”

How many ways is that problematic? So is she suggesting that people who are not black can’t feel for anyone who is? That surely wouldn’t explain why so many people were repulsed by the beating of Tyre Nichols that they saw on the video. It’s a bit vile that Whoopi is suggesting that people don’t care based on race.

But then she exposes some further issues when she says do we “need to see white people also get beaten?” She hurriedly pulls that back saying she wasn’t suggesting it, even as she suggested it. But beyond that, yes, white people have been beaten by the police as well, Whoopi. Do you not know that, or did you not care because it wasn’t someone you can “feel” or “recognize”? She’s making it all about race when, again, as we saw in the Tyre Nichols case, it didn’t appear that race had anything to do with it.

As Newsbusters notes, Whoopi seems to have missed things like the “beating death of homeless Kelly Thomas (who cried for his mother while officers beat him to a literal bloody pulp) and the police shooting death of Daniel Shaver (who was shot while begging for his life and crawling on the floor, which he was ordered to do by an officer).” But that doesn’t necessarily get the media attention.

In the case of Tyre Nichols, the police have been fired and are charged with murder, so it sounds like the proper action is being taken.

Goldberg then went on to attack the “other side” and the police as thinking of “murder” first.

Whoopi says police departments need to get a "sense of humanity."

“Is it just because folks have dehumanized us and made us like some kind of monsters? I listen to the other side on television and they talk about us like we have no humanity. So, I don’t know what it’s going to take,” she declared. I’m not sure who she’s trying to take a shot at there, with the “other side” but if you’re missing that people other than black people have been beaten, maybe you want to evaluate who’s missing things here?

“I like that there’s some thought process that actually might get us one step beyond the idea of murder being the first idea in people’s minds,” Whoopi also said, seemingly accusing police of thinking of murder as a first course of action. That’s a shameful attack on the police, most of whom are doing their best to do a job that is becoming increasingly tough in progressive cities.

I think we can always do things that could help make policing better. But what we’ve seen from folks on the other “side” of the aisle is a big move to be anti-police, to defund the police. What has that done? That’s made things worse, especially for black people. Through efforts to defund and attacks on police departments, we’ve seen experienced officers fleeing the force and retiring in progressive cities. We’ve seen the doing away with anti-crime forces. We’ve seen the BLM/Antifa rioting claim the lives of people including black people like eight-year-old Secoriea Turner and retired police captain David Dorn.

Yet what did “The View” suggest? Sunny Hostin was hot for more defunding of the police, saying money needed to be diverted away to “homelessness, need to be put into mental health, needs to be put into those — poverty.” Most of the progressive cities already spend a ton of money on those issues — without ever making them better. So all it would do is hurt the ability of the police to protect people and adequately train their officers.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense. But that’s “The View.”
