Whoopi Goldberg slams Trump: ‘We’re in the 50s with this clown’
Whoopi Goldberg is not here for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's calls for voter intimidation.
Whoopi Goldberg is not here for Donald Trump’s calls for voter intimidation.
On Saturday during a stop in Pennsylvania, the Republican presidential candidate told his supporters to “watch your polling booths” for voting fraud, saying, “Certain areas. I hear too many bad stories, and we can’t lose an election because of you know what I’m talking about.”
But Goldberg saw the calls as what they were: a call for “certain areas” to be watched could be a call to come to predominately black neighborhoods.
“I thought voter intimidation was gone, but I keep forgetting we’re in 1950 with this clown,” she said before reminding her viewers that the Ku Klux Klan, which has a long history of trying to suppress minority voters through intimidation tactics, has expressed its support for Trump.
She went on to say that she was worried about how this call to “watch” for voter fraud would affect minority and poor communities before she called Trump out, saying, “That is not how we do stuff here. I know you’re friends with Putin, but you can’t use his tactics here, my friend.”
