Whoopi Goldberg isnt letting Joe Rogan s version of events get in the way of the truth.

The View co-host is addressing several falsehoods that Rogan made during a Friday podcast interview with Donald Trump , starting with her supposedly favorable treatment of Trump when he was running for president and sat down on her show around 2015 or 2016.

Theres a lot of fake news coming up so were going to clear some of it up, Goldberg said Monday on The View after playing a clip of Rogan recalling the wrong time period. It was actually, in that clip, is 2011 four years before he announced he was running.

Thats the first thing they got wrong, she added before producing even more receipts.

Goldberg debunked another curiously imagined claim that was brought up during the Joe Rogan Experience episode. Rogan said Goldberg gave Trump a big hug and a kiss when he walked out, and that Goldberg as well as her fellow co-host Joy Behar and then-co-host Barbara Walters all loved you at the time.

The View played footage from the actual appearance, in which Goldberg stares at the camera, not smiling, while Walters introduces Trump. Walters does refer to Trump as my friend, similar to Rogans description, and also calls him a real estate mogul and a television star. Then she asks, But does he really want to add president of the United States to his rsum? ... Lets find out.

Did I look warm and fuzzy? Was that a warm and fuzzy welcome for him? Goldberg said Monday, as the show zoomed in on her face from the clip. But because I respect Barbara, you know, and she said, Be polite to the guests no matter what, and for the most part, I got through it, I did it.

But heres where they really messed up, Goldberg continued, sharing a clip of Rogan saying the shows hosts painted Trump in such a favorable light.

Honey, Joe, Goldberg said. I think you missed this part.

The View then played starkly contradictory evidence from Trumps interview on the show in which Goldberg denounces Trump to his face about his racist birtherism campaign against then-President Barack Obama .

I think thats the biggest pile of dog mess Ive heard in ages. Its because hes Black, she says in the clip. Was any white president asked to be shown the birth certificate? When you become a president of the United States of America, you know that hes American. Im sorry, thats BS.

While Rogan certainly kicked off his show with Trump by bringing up skewed memories of Goldbergs interactions, later in the interview the podcast host did press Trump about his false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen a moment shared on social media by Vice President Kamala Harris campaign.

In the podcast, Trump also called Chinese President Xi Jinping a brilliant guy for ruling with an iron fist and once again questioned the integrity of the upcoming U.S. election in a near-confirmation that the GOP nominee would deem civil unrest acceptable if he loses.
