On the train wreck TV show known as ‘The View’ this week, host Whoopi Goldberg twisted herself into knots, trying to spin the classified documents scandal unfolding around Joe Biden.
Everything is different when Democrats do it.
NewsBusters reports:
Whoopi Claims Biden Declassified All the Documents in His House
With a fifth batch of classified documents being found in President Biden’s Delaware residence by the FBI, with some dating back to his time as a U.S. senator, ABC’s Whoopi Goldberg was exceptionally desperate in trying to protect the President from himself. She kicked off Monday’s edition of The View by asserting that Biden had declassified all the documents at his house, something not even the White House has claimed, and wanted everyone to calm down.
“Presidents and vice presidents can declassify these. Not with their brains,” she declared, mocking former President Trump, despite her making the same argument on Biden’s behalf. “You have to go — there is something that you go through before it’s declassified.”
Without evidence of Biden’s supposed declassification of the documents in question, Goldberg argued that former President Obama gave Biden the authority to declassify. She also whined about people getting bent out of shape about Biden possessing classified documents when he wasn’t allowed to…
Whoopi’s argument basically boils down to, if Biden did it, it’s OK, but Trump is still bad. It makes no sense and follows no logic. Watch below:
Whoopi suggests Biden declassified all the documents at his house, so people need to calm down.
“If you say, ‘a classified document,’ everybody goes, ‘Oh my God! How dare he keep that?!’”

Amazingly, Whoopi got some pushback:
Alyssa Farah Griffin points out the hypocrisy in Whoopi’s argument:
“It has to be true for Trump and for Biden. So for President Biden to be able to declassify something, there has to be evidence he did in fact declassify it.”
And they point out Biden hasn’t even claimed that. pic.twitter.com/v439fJqUJL— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 23, 2023
Whoopi didn’t like that.
Whoopi snaps at Alyssa for saying “he had these [documents] wrongly in the first place.”
“We don’t know he had them [wrongly],” she proclaimed despite all the controversy, FBI searches, and stonewalling from the administration. pic.twitter.com/4y5u1GFGYa— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 23, 2023
It’s stunning to watch liberals in media try to excuse Biden for this while continuing to pile on Trump.
