On Wednesday, “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg compared Republican nominee Donald Trump to an insect and had President Joe Biden role-play killing the insect on a table.
Goldberg complained that Trump continues to exist “like a bug” in the current political environment, while Biden slammed the table as if he had killed the bug. Despite a deadly assassination attempt on September 15 in West Palm Beach, Florida, some in the liberal media and Biden's administration continue to claim that if elected president, Trump would end American democracy and endanger women.
“I always thought I’d probably do it for four years and then figure out where to go with Kamala. [Trump] “He just wouldn't be there, he was like a bug, he was there the whole time, he was just like a bug. Boooooo,” Goldberg told Biden, who then slammed the table. “That's what needed to be done, and you did it. I just want to say thank you, and I want to thank you for everything that you've done while I was alive.”

Following the second assassination attempt on the former president, the media continues to warn that Trump is a “threat to democracy.” Written In a series of posts on X in April, he said “democracy is on the ballot” ahead of the 2024 election and that Biden must keep “America a democratic and free country” while Trump wants to “turn Americans into slaves against their masters.”

“[Trump] “The Secret Service has been inciting violence, ordering people to punch bystanders, threatening to shoot bystanders and immigrants since 2016. I don't recall Obama blaming protesters when the White House was shot in 2011,” Goldberg said. “You have to take a good look at yourself in the mirror. One of the reasons we're all still alive is because the Secret Service did their job. So stop blaming others until you see the words coming out of your own mouth.”
Trump Condemned In a Sept. 16 interview with Fox News, he spoke about the Biden administration's “rhetoric” regarding the latest assassination attempt.
