The ABC News Show ‘The view’ is an abomination for American television.
During the broadcast today, Co-Host Whoopi Goldberg suggested that black people who live in the United States are just as suppressed as people who live in Iran, where women have to submit to clothing codes and gay is punished by death.
Her comments came during a loud and incredibly stupid discussion about the American foreign policy with regard to what is currently unfolding in Iran.
It is really amazing that this show is still in the air.

Farah Griffin: It’s not even the same! At the moment I couldn’t get a foot with this outfit in Iran.
Goldberg: Oh, no! That is not what you mean to say. It’s the same.
Farah Griffin: No, it isn’t. The year 2025 in the United States is not like – if I stepped with this outfit in Tehran at the moment.
[Crosstalk, Haines trying to bring up Mahsa Amini]
Farah Griffin: I can’t show my hair. I can’t wear a skirt. I can’t have my arms.
[Crosstalk]
Hosted: And it’s up to us to judge?
Farah Griffin: I literally said it is up to the Iranian people.
Haines: Yes, it’s up to them.
Goldberg: And that’s why I say it’s the same! Killing someone for their difference is not good who does it! It’s not good!
[Applause]
So that’s why I said you didn’t say what you heard – what I heard was not what you meant.
Farah Griffin: Okay. I think it is very different to live in the United States in 2025 than in Iran.
Goldberg: Not if you are black!
Hosted: Not for everyone!
Goldberg: Not if you are black!
Farah Griffin: Guys, don’t compare us with Tehran. Nobody is allowed to go to Tehran at this table.
