Whoopi Goldberg Spots How This Trump Comment Says 'A Lot' About His Character

"Thats not the message you want to send women right now," said "The View" host of the former president's remarks.

Whoopi Goldberg slammed Donald Trump on Thursday over his vow to protect women whether the women like it or not at a campaign rally in Wisconsin earlier this week.

The View host, who introduced the Hot Topics segment on the remarks, said political theater like Trumps garbage truck stunt  is taking the focus off whats at stake in the election before turning to a clip of the former presidents comments.

When you say, Whether you like it or not, tells women a lot about who you are and why theyre gonna stay away from you, Goldberg said.

See, because with you, clearly, no doesnt mean no. Whether you like it or not means Im gonna do it whether you want it or not. Thats not the message you want to send women right now.

Her co-host, Joy Behar , went on to share a technical question about Trump.

Can you protect women and assault them at the same time? Behar said.

Sunny Hostin , who criticized Trump over his unbelievable gaslighting, noted that Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation last year. Earlier this year, he was found guilty on 34 felony charges of falsifying business documents to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

And so when you think about that, thats the guy thats gonna protect women? Thats the guy thats gonna protect womens rights? Hostin said.

I mean, does he think that women are so unsophisticated that we dont know what hes saying.

Behar replied that Trump thinks women are stupid and he treats them with no respect.

He thinks we dont understand our own rights and hes gonna lose on Tuesday, she said.

Goldberg, after the hosts turned to the issue of abortion, reminded viewers of whats at stake in this years election.

Because its not gonna be just us. Every woman needs the ability to go get herself taken care of. You men, we need you to stand up and say, Listen, its none of your business, its my family and I. You cant do this to my wife or my partner or my lover, Goldberg said.

Women, were stickin together on this. If youre a one-issue voter, you need to include this in your head because this affects you, this affects you and your children directly. Do not fall for the old okey-doke.
