As a gen X I resent the fact that a comedy icon from my childhood has become a nasty ignorant old lady who openly supports a literal child rapist and shits on younger people for an insane economy that is not their fault.
Ikr? She used to be fucking brutal ripping into the kind of bullshit she now says seriously.
She was less of a jackass when she started on the view though. Everyone that hosts on that damn thing turns into a moron eventually. The ones that start as morons get worse, but still.
I was heartbroken when I learned that Guillermo Del Toro signed a petition to have Polanski pardoned. These Hollywood people live on another planet, one where being a child molester isn't a deal breaker for them. Another example being Victor Salva, who repeatedly raped a child but was still getting jobs long after his conviction
Yeah it's a pretty hideous barometer of people's moral compass.
That’s the thing. I wouldn’t be disappointed to hear Tucker Carlson saying something like that. I mean, it’d probably count as the nicest thing he’s said all season. Same with whatever that Fox version of the view is.
But Whoopi used to have heart.
