‘The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Relates To ‘The Bachelorette’ Star Jenn Tran When It Comes To Having Many Men Fawn Over Her: “25 Is Nothing!”
Rudy Giuliani wasn’t Whoopi Goldberg‘s mayor — and if you ask her, he certainly wasn’t America’s either. Goldberg couldn’t resist correcting the record on today’s episode of The View after her co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin praised the disgraced politician. Goldberg stepped right in in to shut down Griffin’s claims that Giuliani was once universally loved and respected.
During a conversation about the $10 million lawsuit against Giuliani, in which he is being accused of sexual assault and harassment, the panel ripped the attorney for his disturbing behavior, which allegedly included racist comments and sexual coercion.
“This makes me sad because there was a time that Rudy Giuliani was America’s mayor,” Griffin said after discussing the details of the lawsuit, which was filed yesterday by Noelle Dunphy, a woman who previously worked as as an off-the-books employee for Giuliani.
Griffin was about to say more on the matter, but before she could continue, Goldberg interjected, protesting, “Not here in New York — he was never America’s mayor! We tried to warn everybody that he was not America’s Mayor.”
Griffin replied, “On the Republican side, at least. I felt like he tried to unite the city and the country after 9/11 … He was somebody who at one point was very esteemed.”
Giuliani served as Mayor of New York City from 1994 through 2001, and did receive the nickname of “America’s Mayor” for his response to the 9/11 attacks. In an interview with Newsmax last fall, he called Sept. 11, 2001 “the worst day of my life and in some ways, you know, the greatest day of my life, in terms of my city, my country, my family,” per Insider.
Griffin noted that Giuliani’s public perception has certainly shifted since then.
“Things have dipped in the last few decades,” she said, while Sara Haines piled on, noting, “they crashed and burned, girl.”
Joy Behar, of course, took her analysis a few steps further, calling Giuliani “so repulsive,” “dangerous” and “awful.”
The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
