Whoopi Goldberg had a full meltdown on “The View” this week over Donald Trump claiming that President Joe Biden “is the destroyer” of democracy during a rally on Saturday.
Goldberg Sounds Off About Trump
“Joe Biden is not the defender of American democracy – Joe Biden is the destroyer of American democracy,” Trump said during a campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, according to USA Today.
This didn’t sit well with Goldberg, who fired back at Trump on “The View” on Monday morning.
“See, if that were actually true, you would not be doing what you were doing because he would’ve put your ass in jail,” she said. “If he was destroying democracy, he would have been — see, this is the thing you don’t get, man. When people destroy democracy, your rights don’t matter. That’s how you know that’s not what he’s doing.”
Goldberg has long been fantasizing about Trump being sent to prison. Earlier this year, she called for an amendment to the Constitution that would prevent Trump from running for president from behind bars.
“What’s really starting to freak me out is the idea that we’re not even discussing changing the Constitution to make it say you cannot be in jail and be the president,” she said, according to The Wrap. “Because, my fear — I’m a big fan of amendments, because I feel like, unless we start to plug these holes, this is gonna keep biting us in the behind.”
“The amendment will change how we deal with people who come up like this,” she continued. “That’s what I want.”
Back in October, Goldberg claimed that she would not be allowed to speak about people the way that Trump does.
“I have a big question about all of this because something’s been bothering me,” Goldberg said, according to Mediaite. “Why can he continue to threaten judges, threaten AGs, and threaten just people? Now, I understand that some folks say it’s freedom of speech, but if I did that, they would not consider it freedom of speech.”
“So why does he get to continue to threaten? And it’s threats like he did with January 6th. He basically said, ‘Come after her,’” she added. “He didn’t say exactly those words, but I don’t know how else you can take those words. But why is he continuously allowed to do that when none of us would be able to do it?”

Joy Behar Wants Trump To Be ‘Locked Up Already’
Goldberg isn’t the only co-host on “The View” who wants Trump to be put in jail. Earlier this year, Joy Behar said on “The View” that Trump should be “locked up already.”
“He’s a grifter. He’s a grifter,” she said of Trump, according to Daily Mail. “Lock him up already. Lock him up.”
“Nixon was caught on tape and that was the end of his career as president,” she continued. “This guy is caught on tape talking about grabbing women’s genitalia – he didn’t learn from that or from Nixon and now he’s continuing to tape himself. That is really the definition of stupidity.”
