Goldberg and the hosts of The View aren’t the sharpest minds. They prove that almost daily.
And The View’s Whoopi Goldberg completely lost it on set during an unhinged rant.
The Supreme Court just delivered a clear message to Louisiana and the rest of America: stop drawing congressional districts based on race. In a 6-3 ruling, the justices struck down the state’s second majority-Black district, calling out the blatant racial gerrymandering that twisted maps into unnatural shapes to guarantee certain outcomes.
This decision puts an end to one of the most obvious power plays in recent redistricting fights. Louisiana lawmakers had carved out a sprawling district that snaked across more than 200 miles, connecting distant communities for no reason other than skin color. The Court rightly said enough is enough. Equal protection under the law means treating citizens as individuals, not as members of racial voting blocs.
On ABC’s “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg wasted no time spinning the ruling into a grand conspiracy. She claimed the decision “is meant to discourage you from voting. This is meant to make you feel like you don’t have a voice. You do have a voice. Do not forget that.”
Goldberg insisted the Court had declared race no longer matters in America, yet warned that dark forces were still at work. She tied the Louisiana map to everything from Project 2025 to future restrictions on women voters, painting a picture of systematic efforts to silence certain groups.
Her message was clear: this ruling targets people of color first, but others will feel the heat soon enough.
She went further, invoking the bloody history of the civil rights era. “We put the Voting Rights Act together because there was an issue. They were literally shooting people. They were running them down with dogs to keep them from voting. OK, let’s start with that. So when they say that problem is gone, it’s not gone because you’re still doing it. You’re still doing it.”
It’s a dramatic leap from dogs and fire hoses in the 1960s to today’s arguments over compact districts and color-blind redistricting.
Most Americans watching the news know the days of violent poll suppression ended decades ago. What remains are debates over fair maps, voter ID, and making sure every legal vote counts equally.
Goldberg expressed confusion about why anyone would oppose race-based districts:
“What I don’t understand is what is everybody so afraid of? Because I always thought I was raised to believe that you and I don’t have to agree. That’s all right. But now suddenly your argument doesn’t hold water so you’re cheating. See that? We’re a two party system. We’re not just Democrats, we’re not just Republicans, we’re a two party system.”
This framing flips reality on its head. The real cheating has often come from politicians who treat racial groups as guaranteed vote banks.
Packing or cracking voters by skin color doesn’t strengthen democracy; it weakens it by turning elections into racial headcounts rather than contests of ideas and policies.
Ordinary working people in every corner of the country want representatives who fight for secure borders, good jobs, safe streets, and affordable energy.
They don’t want politicians obsessed with engineering racial balance in every congressional seat. The Supreme Court’s decision pushes back against that divisive approach.
