Bill O’Reilly Pisses Off The View’s Whoopi Goldberg & Joy Baher VIDEO
If you missed The View today, you missed some major fireworks! But don’t worry, I have the video here for you to watch!
Bill O’Reilly was a special guest star on the talk show on Thursday and during a conversation about the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero things got so heated that Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off the set!
“The mosque down here on 9/11. That’s inappropriate,” O’Reilly said. “Sure, they have a right to do it,” he continued. “But it’s inappropriate because a lot of the 9/11 families who I know, say, ‘Look, we don’t want that.'”
“Listen to me because you’ll learn,” he exclaimed, shocking the audience, adding that he believes President Obama’s numbers are falling because of his unwillingness to comment on “the wisdom of” building the community center.
Goldberg challenged him: “You’re saying that Americans are not smart enough to recognize that while it is part of our Constitution to say freedom of religion and freedom to worship and there were 70 families who are Muslim who also died in that building. So you’re saying that his saying that they have the right to do it and not saying anymore is why his approval ratings have gone down?”
The exchange got more heated as time went on and the blowout came after O’Reilly said “Muslims killed us on 9/11.” Goldberg and Behar attempted to specify that it was an extremist sect within Islam and not the religion itself that attacked the U.S. When O’Reilly continued to argue his point, the enraged hosts walked off the set.
