Watch: Whoopi Goldberg Forced to Issue On-Air Apology After Spreading False Claim About President Trump

Left-wing television host Whoopi Goldberg was forced to walk back yet another false claim about President Donald J. Trump after asserting—incorrectly—that he failed to respond to the deadly Brown University shooting.

Goldberg’s claim collapsed almost immediately under basic facts.

President Trump publicly expressed condolences less than two hours after the tragic campus shooting that left two students dead and nine others injured.

During Monday’s episode of The View, Goldberg launched an angry tirade against the president, alleging that he had remained silent following the Dec. 13 Brown University shooting and the Dec. 14 mass attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.

Her outburst came as she reacted to a Truth Social post President Trump issued Sunday after the shocking murder of filmmaker Rob Reiner, who was allegedly stabbed to death by his son, Nick Reiner. Goldberg took issue with the president’s criticism of Reiner’s long history of anti-Trump rhetoric, accusing Trump of focusing on political grievances instead of national and international tragedies.

Goldberg dramatically accused the president of moral failure.

“Have you no shame? No shame at all? Can you get any lower? I don’t think so,” Goldberg screeched. “And what do you have to say about what’s happened around the world? Where is our voice as Americans? Somebody’s gotta speak up for us.”

“Our hearts are breaking through all of this. Through Rob, through what happened at Bondi Beach, what happened at Brown,” she continued.

“And you don’t find the time to say, ‘As Americans, we hate what’s happening.’ You ain’t my president, man.”

The problem for Goldberg was simple: President Trump had already spoken.

During a White House event on Sunday, the president directly addressed both shootings, offering condolences to the victims and their families.

“I want to just pay my respects to the people — unfortunately, two are no longer with us — at Brown University. Nine injured, and two are looking down on us right now from Heaven,” the president said.

“And, likewise, in Australia, as you know, there was a terrible attack … And I just want to pay my respects to everybody.”

Only minutes after The View returned from a commercial break, Goldberg quietly issued a reluctant correction—without retracting the broader political hostility that fueled her original comments.

“I’m going to make a correction here. As it turns out, yesterday, apparently, You-Know-Who put his condolences out to the people who are looking down at us from Heaven and the folks at Brown,” Goldberg said. “So my bad.”

“You did say something — not what I would have liked to have heard from you — but you did do it. So there you go,” she added.

Goldberg’s episode is the latest example of how partisan media figures routinely spread misinformation about President Trump, only to retreat once confronted with undeniable facts. The casual nature of her correction—after leveling serious accusations—underscores the credibility crisis plaguing legacy media and celebrity pundits aligned with the political left.

This is hardly an isolated incident. Goldberg has repeatedly misrepresented Trump’s words and actions over the years, often driven by personal animus rather than evidence. What continues to change, however, is the public’s awareness.

More Americans are recognizing the pattern: sensational accusations first, quiet corrections later—if they come at all. The era of unquestioned media authority is fading, and moments like this further expose the hollow outrage and selective standards that define much of today’s establishment commentary.
