Whoopi Goldberg, host of ABC's The View, slammed Will & Grace actors Debra Messing and Eric McCormack after they demanded a list of attendees to a Hollywood fundraiser for President Trump be made public.
"Listen, the last time people did this. People ended up killing themselves. This is not a good idea," Goldberg said as she compared the actors' insistence for a public list of Trump donors to McCarthyism. "We had something called a blacklist, and a lot of really good people were accused of stuff. Nobody cared whether it was true or not. They were accused. And they lost their right to work."
"In this country, people can vote for who they want to. That is one of the great rights of this country. You don’t have to like it, but we don’t go after people because we don’t like who they voted for. We don’t go after them that way. We can talk about issues and stuff, but we don’t print out lists. I’m sure you guys misspoke when you said that because it sounded like a good idea. Think about it. Read about it. Remember what the blacklist actually meant to people and don’t encourage anyone, anyone, to do it."

ReplyDeleteShow the list! We should all want transparency on who is giving big dollars to political candidates. And we all have the choice whether we want to see our consumer dollars flow into the pockets of corporations/celebrities who back candidates we either like or don't like.
ReplyDeleteDon't have much respect or like for Whoppi but in this case she did the right thing.Actors in general in recent years have gone over the line in the pursuit of vote for their chosen candidate, because they have a following and some people idolize them ,they over use it.
ReplyDeleteActors and actresses should have an FBI book put on them they are communist socialist TRAITORS.
ReplyDeleteBy Thursday the Hollywood elite will be calling for Whoopi to apologize and be removed as host.
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought when I first read about the "List". Liberals do everything they can to kill free speech. Deborah Messing - F You. How about that speech honey.
