During a heated discussion on The View, Whoopi Goldberg didn’t hold back when addressing Donald Trump’s recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Describing the encounter as “one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen” and “chilling,” she expressed her disappointment in what she sees as a shift in U.S. foreign policy.
Goldberg suggested that Trump’s reluctance to firmly stand behind Ukraine was a stark departure from the country’s traditional stance against aggression.
“I do stand with you, Zelensky, because you’ve been fighting, your country has been fighting,” she declared on air.
Her co-hosts echoed similar sentiments, arguing that the meeting seemed “staged” and highlighting concerns about Trump’s lack of support for Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia.
Alex Jones Lashes Out: “Obviously Drunken, Probably on Benzos”
Not one to sit on the sidelines, Alex Jones took to social media to unleash a scathing critique of Goldberg’s remarks. Known for his controversial takes, Jones didn’t just disagree—he went straight for Goldberg personally, questioning her credibility and even making wild accusations about her state during the show.
“You’re about to see an obviously drunken, probably on benzos Whoopi Goldberg, slur through her words, doesn’t know Zelensky’s name, make up a bunch of crazy history,” Jones ranted.
He went on to challenge her understanding of global affairs, arguing that NATO’s expansion, not Trump’s actions, had led to escalating tensions with Russia.
“No, the American people voted to stop the nuclear war,” Jones continued. “It has been NATO invading up to Russia’s borders that triggered this, but she is so stupid.”
Social Media Caught in the Crossfire
As expected, the internet took sides immediately. Supporters of Goldberg praised her for standing with Ukraine, while Trump loyalists and Jones’ followers dismissed her comments as uninformed political theater.
Twitter, Reddit, and political forums were flooded with debates, with some arguing that Goldberg’s perspective aligns with protecting democracy, while others accused her of misrepresenting the situation for dramatic effect.
Meanwhile, some users pushed for a more civil discussion, urging both sides to focus on policy over personal attacks.
“We should be talking about the actual implications of U.S. foreign policy instead of calling each other names,” one Twitter user pointed out.
A Never-Ending Political Divide
The clash between Whoopi Goldberg and Alex Jones is just another chapter in the never-ending saga of America’s deep political divide. With Trump’s potential return to the White House looming over the 2024 elections and the ongoing war in Ukraine continuing to spark debate, conversations like this will only get more intense.
But as the dust settles, one thing remains clear—politics, especially when it involves Trump, Ukraine, and outspoken Hollywood figures, will always be a battleground. Whether you side with Goldberg or Jones, the debate is far from over.
