Whoopi Goldberg Goes Off On Fellow ‘The View’ Host Over ‘Hollywood Elite’ Term but Displays Elitism as She Does It – Opinion

Actress and “The View” host Whoopi Golderg really doesn’t like the term “Hollywood Elite” but she sure does like to embody it.

During Thursday’s episode of “The View,” Goldberg got into an argument with co-host Tara Setmayer as the latter expressed her disgust over the actors and actresses who gave Will Smith a standing ovation after he physically assaulted Chris Rock over a small joke about his wife Jada Pinkette-Smith.

Setmayer accurately described one reason Hollywood is considered a pariah state. It’s because celebrities are seen on the stage preaching to others and then engaging in the most sinister behavior. Smith was an example of such a shining moment.

It was during this rant that Setmayer used the term “Hollywood elite,” which proceeded to set Goldberg off.

“I’m sorry, as one of those people I got to stop you,” said Goldberg.

Golberg proceeded to make excuses for her fellow celebrities, attempting to pass off that they only gave Smith a standing ovation because they were caught up in the moment and didn’t have time to process what they were doing before they did it. It was an excuse that Setmayer wasn’t buying.

Goldberg got to her real point, however, and that was stopping the usage of the term “Hollywood elite.”

“I just want to stop with this ‘elite’ stuff because, you know, a lot of us work for a living. We work. We collect a check. We have families. Everyone tries to do the same things, and we try to do it the right way. And it really pisses me off when people start to talk about people who work in Hollywood, not just actors, but all the other folks,” Goldberg said.

“So, please, when you’re talking about actors, be specific. If you’re pissed off about somebody or how they act, don’t put it on all of us because that’s like saying all Black people like chicken,” she added.

Behar attempted to join Whoopi’s side in agreement, but Setmayer made it clear that to “average Americans” this is a perfect example of their arguments for Hollywood’s elitism.

Setmayer was right.

Celebrities live in a bubble that is very tight. This results in bizarre opinions and stances that are very far from reality, or at least from average Americans. It seems that people preach to us how terrible our voting and thoughts are. We’re constantly looked down on by these people despite the fact that they have no moral high ground to stand on. They tell us we’re irresponsible with the climate while flying around in private jets. They tell us we shouldn’t be able to own our guns while hiring privately armed security for themselves.

Hollywood is full of sexual assaults, pedophilia and radical leftism. Goldberg, for instance, is one such example of elitism as just this last January, Goldberg claimed that the Holocaust wasn’t about race as and effectively labeled it white on white violence. Goldberg was apparently furious at the punishment, and threatened to leave the program.

Stephen Colbert declared that paying extra to get gas is worth the sacrifice for a good conscience. A shallow and disconnected take to have considering Colbert, a man worth $75 million, won’t feel the same sting at the pump that someone who works two jobs to keep a roof over their kid’s heads would. It’s worse that Colbert only spoke this kind of detached elitist talk to defend the Biden government that created America’s energy crisis.

Angry over Joe Manchin holding up Democrat legislation, Bette Midler painted West Virginians as “poor” and “illiterate.” She then issued a quick apology that few people actually believed.

Celebrities wore Brady Campaign gun control bracelets in 2016 to try to persuade Americans to support Democrat-backed antigun legislation. This occurred while they were attending the Oscars with more armed security.

Goldberg described herself as one of those celebrities and she’s correct. She’s just as elitist as everyone else in her industry, and even by making excuses for their behavior, she’s demonstrating just how out of touch she is.
