The former actress is one of several leftist women who complain and bicker. It\u2019s what ABC calls morning TV. Recently, she tried to take a shot at our former vice president, Mike Pence. She quoted one of his jokes, to shame the man. She wasn\u2019t expecting this reaction from her audience.<\/p>\n<p>From The Western Journal:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>When the audience of the show \u201cThe View\u201d showed mild amusement Tuesday at a recounting of a joke told by former Vice President Mike Pence, co-host Goldberg had to stop the fun with a sour scolding. She tried to browbeat the audience by saying the joke was not funny, implying it was a dud because Republicans said it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1635660802974777345&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwashingtonews.today%2Findex.php%2F2023%2F03%2F18%2Fwhoopi-goldberg-blindsided-by-her-audience-they-just-laughed-at-the-wrong-joke%2F&amp;sessionId=bce5e3bebccc80ade67f7c837274195388e2e2f7&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=aaf4084522e3a%3A1674595607486&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1635660802974777345\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Wow. It seems that the old comedienne has lost her funny bone. She tried to defend the disgraced head of the Department of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. The man was MIA during a serious crisis. It was one of many times he was not at work when the country was in free fall.<\/p>\n<p>His excuse? The gay man was on \u201cmaternity leave.\u201d Uh\u2026 how does that work?<\/p>\n<p>Mike Pence reportedly joked that Buttigieg is the only person in history to go on maternity leave\u2026 and everyone else gets postpartum depression. Dang, Pence has got some good writers! Whoopi quoted the joke, in an attempt to slander the former vice president.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, she got a laugh\u2026 for the first time in thirty years! She was shocked that her audience would laugh\u00a0<em>at a joke<\/em>\u00a0and actually scolded them. Hey Whoopi! Have you forgotten how humor works? We have to be able to laugh at ourselves. Didn\u2019t you teach us that?<\/p>\n<p>But this is what the radical left has become. Grumpy, miserable nannies who scold us for having fun. Even a former entertainer can\u2019t appreciate a well-timed joke, because she is so entrenched in her leftist politics.<\/p>\n<p>Listen, Pete Buttigieg has failed at his job. But even if he was good at it, he\u2019s just as ripe for comedy as anyone else. Whoopi would have had no problem making fun of Trump, Pence, or DeSantis, right?
