Whoopi Goldberg, one of the hosts of ABC’s extremist, left-wing daytime talk show “The View,” was forced to apologize — sort of — for a joke she made on Thursday hinting that U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham is a homosexual.
During the broadcast, episode guest White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spoke about the left’s worries that Republicans are moving to “ban abortion” across the country in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Jean-Pierre mentioned South Carolina’s Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who she said supports a national abortion ban, according to Mediaite.
But the Biden press secretary also brought in several other hot-button liberal issues with her closing comments when she said, “And also, Senator Graham had said maybe about a month ago, early August, that he believes when it comes to marriage, when it comes to abortion, it’s for states to decide. So, Senator Graham, what changed?”
To Jean-Pierre’s question of “what changed?” Whoopi had an answer, albeit a more satirical one.
“Well, maybe he’s getting married,” she suggested, as the crowd laughed. “Do it quick, because I know people are fooling around with our marriage rights. Whoever, wherever you stand, you know,” Goldberg quipped, just before the show went to a commercial.
Goldberg, of course, was hinting at several issues without stating them straight out.
For one, many on the left have claimed that Republicans are moving to repeal any laws that allow gay marriage. No actual moves have been made on any national ban on gay marriage, but it is an issue that the left has been pushing ahead of the midterm elections.
But, more importantly, Goldberg was also hinting that Sen. Graham is gay because he is well-known as a lifelong bachelor. Her joke was that if homosexuals hurry up and get married, their unions will be in under the line before Republicans ostensibly start working to end gay marriage.
