Whoopi Goldberg’s “unhinged” claim about what former President Donald Trump aims to do to interracial couples left many wondering if his running mate was aware of it.

In a preview of the potential meltdown should the GOP leader prove victorious on Nov. 5, the co-host of ABC’s “The View” took Trump Derangement Syndrome to new heights Monday. Following the president’s crowd-pleasing Madison Square Garden rally, Goldberg contended that not only was he going to split up families, but that he was going to somehow assign new spouses.
“Find a different way to come after people because of their heritage, which they are born into. It’s not a choice. You are who you are,” she said after the program had opened with griping over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s set at the rally.
“Listen, what we heard at that rally should be enough to shake folks awake. ‘Cause he’s talking about you,” Goldberg continued with her remarks turning to Trump.
Hopscotching through grievances, the co-host then appeared to turn to proposed mass deportations without any clarifying remarks and asserted, “He’s not gonna, you know, say, ‘Oh, you’re with a white guy. I’m gonna keep you from being deported.’ No, he’s gonna deport you and put the man with someone else. The man is out there.”
The fearmongering presented no qualification as to whether or not she was including naturalized citizens or even native-born Americans while she ignored that white people could be immigrants as well.
Rather than push back on the claims, the co-hosts moved on with Alyssa Farah Griffin airing her own grievances about how the president had represented her when she was a member of his administration.
While Goldberg’s fellow talking heads were content with letting the wild accusation go unchecked, social media was not nearly so accommodating as many brought up that Trump’s own running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, was in an interracial marriage with his California-native wife, Usha Vance.
Wouldn’t that make meetings with Vance awkward?

In addition to Vance’s marriage, the fact remained that Trump himself was married to legal immigrant Melania Trump. To further call out the absurdity of the talking head’s claims that deportation under a Trump-Vance administration would involve splitting up interracial marriages, others on social media shared stories of couples that were supporting the president’s third White House bid.
Catalina Lauf, a former Republican congressional nominee in Illinois, shared pictures of her parents as she wrote on X, “Hey Whoopi, this interracial couple (my parents), proudly voted for @realDonaldTrump early this week. My mom, who came to this Country legally from Central America, supports Trump deporting all the criminals invading our border. My white father does, too. Sorry!”

Meanwhile, others, including SpaceX CEO and ardent Trump supporter Elon Musk, called out the co-host as being “unhinged.”
Does she even believe this garbage that she spews? she’s nuts

Why is Whoopi Goldberg so unhinged? Either they have some real horrible crap on her or she’s just literally insane.

Clearly they have something on her! She seems terrified and completely unhinged.
