Whoopi Goldberg defends Janet Jackson for saying Kamala Harris is not black

“The View” got nasty.During Monday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg defended Janet Jackson’s false comments about Vice President Kamala Karris.

 In an interview with The Guardian published on Saturday, Jackson, 58, falsely said about Vice President Harris, “She’s not Black.That’s what I heard.

That she’s Indian.[Harris’] father’s white.

That’s what I was told.I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days.

I was told that they discovered her father was white.”Goldberg asked critics to give the “Nasty” singer “a little grace.” But, not all of her fellow “The View” panelists agreed. Sunny Hostin said she “doesn’t want to give it this much air.” Alyssa Farah Griffin said about Jackson, “My guess is she’s not looking at great sources of media.” Co-host Ana Navarro commented that Jackson was “spreading misinformation” and that the pop star “has a phone,” meaning she can look up accurate information. “I think Janet Jackson, like every other American — whether you’re a celebrity or not — has a right to endorse, support or not support whomever they want,” Navarro added.“She’s got every right to not like Kamala Harris if she doesn’t want to.

What she did was spread misinformation, and I think it’s very irresponsible when you have a platform the way Janet Jackson does to use that platform carelessly.”But, Goldberg cut in to disagree.“Hold on, hold on, yeah she’s got a phone – Janet Jackson is not a political animal.

She’s a musician, her life is doing this, and she’s mourning her brother,” said Goldberg, referring to Tito Jackson’s recent death at age 70 of an apparent heart attack. Goldberg added, “Sometimes I’ve said stuff and I was wrong, but people want you to say something right away.But when people are coming at you saying, ‘hey, you’re dumb, you don’t know…’ you know, you don’t want to answer people and it is a pain in the butt...
