Top-rated podcast host Joe Rogan reacted with disgust and concern to “The View” host Whoopi Goldberg’s “unhinged” rant about jailing Republicans.
Goldberg’s rant came after the Supreme Court agreed to take up former President Donald Trump’s presidential immunity case late last month. Trump’s legal team has argued that the court’s failure to rule on the case would encourage increased lawfare and fundamentally alter the function of the executive branch.
After the decision was announced, Goldberg shared her warped interpretation of what such a decision would entail. In her mind, a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court would give the president total immunity for any and all crimes. ““Now, I just, you know, let’s look at a scenario where the Supreme Court says, yes, he has all those rights, he is immune from everything. You know what Joe Biden could do since he is presently president?” Goldberg asked.
“He could throw every Republican in jail!” she added, drawing applause from the audience.
Rogan highlighted the clip as an example of rising leftist insanity during a recent interview with parental rights in education activist Christopher Rufo.
“Did you see what Whoopi Goldberg said? She said that Biden could arrest all the Republicans put them in jail,” Rogan said. “You just need to see how unhinged this kind of thinking is. ‘Well, you know what Joe Biden could do. Joe Biden could…’ you have to see it. Because it’s, it’s on TV. It’s on television.”
He then pointed out how wildly off-base Goldberg’s interpretation of a potential ruling was. “But the fact that she says that so confidently. Like if, if you’re willing to let Donald Trump use presidential immunity, that means Joe Biden could just go crazy and arrest all the Republicans. Because that’s what that means. Now that’s not what that means. Even a little bit. Like you just added a whole bunch of stuff to what that means,” Rogan added.
“I mean, in fairness, though, I mean, the view has to be you know, if you average out ‘The View’ hosts among the dumbest people on television,” Rufo replied.
