(VIDEO) Whoopi Goldberg Says Black New York Knicks Players Should Go to White House and “Remind Those People” – Says Trump “Destroying All of Our Histories” * The Gateway Pundit * by Jordan Conradson

The hags on ABC’s The View lost it on Thursday over the NBA Champion Knicks accepting President Trump’s invitation to visit the White House after their first Championship win in 53 years.
The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the Finals, and owner James Dolan will take his team to the White House to celebrate.
But the ladies of The View were somewhat in turmoil, with co-host Sara Haines claiming it “puts the players in a precarious position.” She added, “I just think it’s not fair to take any of the flowers and the beauty of this moment and its unity, and try to then place it on the players.”
“I totally agree. I think it puts the players in such an uncomfortable position,” Alyssa Farrah-Griffin chimed in. “It was honestly the first thing I thought of once they won the championship. As a new Knicks fan, I’m like, ‘Oh no, they’re going to get invited to the White House, and there’s going to be this political discourse.”
Joy Behar then referenced last weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 fights, during which UFC fighter Josh Hokit gave a legendary post-fight Octagon interview when he declared, “Michelle Obama is a man!”
“Recently, they were at the White House trashing Michelle Obama. I mean, you know… The whole– the indignity of these poor guys having to go down there,” Behar said.
But Whoopi Goldberg disagreed, saying, “I want them to go,” because the roster is predominantly black.
“I want all those black men to stand in our house and remind all of those people, as we tried to remind the Vice President, Vice President, that when you try to destroy one part of history, you’re destroying all of our histories. And they, as champions, not only as amazing basketball players, but as people who were down and came back up, this is what this looks like,” Whoopi continued.
“This is what this looks like. So, I want them to go… I want them to go, if only so the kids know that nobody, nobody can keep you down if you are rising.”

This caused Sara Haines and Alyssa Farrah-Griffin to do a complete 180.
“We just had a UFC fighter who said a degrading slur about a former First Lady, and why don’t you show up and show them what real men look like? This team has exemplified that over and over,” Haines said, now virtue signaling and cheering the visit.
Farrah-Griffin added, “Exactly, and that was what I loved, like again, as a new fan with Jalen Brunson. This guy is just the epitome of class. He is just somebody that kids can look up to. He’s a great role model, and that’s such a strong juxtaposition, a man like him being at the White House compared to this UFC fight.”
Sunny Hostin, however, wasn’t convinced, telling her co-hosts, “I remain very conflicted over it, because I do think it puts a lot of pressure on these players and a lot of pressure on the captain of the team, Jalen Brunson. I think it puts a lot of pressure because Jose Alvarado, the Puerto Rican player, was already approached and asked, you know, will you go to the White House? And he said, ‘I will do what my team decides.’”
Reinforced, Whoopie said, “The team does not have to accept this president,” adding, “They are showing the world as a winning team, builds women, black men! I can’t stop saying, I can’t stop saying it!”
She continued, “It’s important, because of the way our history, and frankly, not just our history, but women’s history, and white men’s history. I know it sounds crazy, but all of our history is getting tattered and torn to shreds.”
WATCH:
Imagine what would happen if a White person, during Obama’s Presidency, said something similar about a predominantly white sports team, demanding that they stick it to “those people” and reclaim “our history.”
Earlier in the week, Whoopi and Sunny Hostin also attacked Vice President JD Vance as a racist and accused the Trump Administration of erasing black history from “public spaces.”
Previously, the race-baiting clowns on The View lost it over Josh Hokit’s remark about Michelle Obama at the White House, claiming it was a “slur” and that racism was “on full display at the White House.”
