On Monday’s episode of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg posed a placing query amid a bunch dialogue of President Donald Trump.
The panelists have been discussing Trump’s current “Meet the Press” interview, wherein he was requested about mass deportation and whether or not he has an obligation to uphold the Structure. Trump appeared unaware of his obligation to “uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution,” The Related Press reported.
After a clip of the interview performed, a visibly annoyed Goldberg reminded viewers of the presidential oath Trump has now taken twice — wherein he pledged to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
“So I don’t know why you don’t remember it, because we saw you say it,” she said, exasperated. “This isn’t AI you. That was you, two times.”
Goldberg didn’t mince phrases, including that Trump ought to “not be president” if he’s unaware of the duties of his position, and may cease behaving as if the American individuals have been “the idiots” on this narrative.
“You know the job — and yes, you know you’re violating your oath of office by doing that,” she continued.
She then requested a easy query for the desk: “Or am I crazy?”
Fellow host Sunny Hostin got here to Goldberg’s assist and shortly responded, “No, you’re not.”
Hostin, a former federal prosecutor, famous that even in her personal authorities position, she felt the load of her oath.
“I took the oath to uphold the Constitution … When you say those words, it feels heavy. It feels really,” she recalled.
Hostin added that after taking the oath, she felt like she wanted to reread the Structure she had studied in regulation college as a result of “it’s a very important thing.”
