Whoopi Goldberg blames the winds for deadly LA fires: Its nobodys fault

Whoopi Goldberg wants people to stop “pointing fingers” and assigning blame for the deadly LA fires.On Monday’s episode of “The View,” the Oscar-winner, 69, said that last week’s hurricane-force winds that blew throughout Southern California are responsible for sparking the flames that have wreaked havoc across Los Angeles County.“There was a fire catastrophe in California.

It had to do with winds,” she told the studio audience.“The winds move things and sparks move things.”“It doesn’t matter how much water you have if 900,000 buildings go up at the same time.”Goldberg continued, “Having lived in California, having lost every house save for one that we ever lived in, I take great offense at pointing fingers.”“You should be pointing fingers about, how can we help?” she added.

“It’s too soon to be saying, ‘Oh it’s [California Governor] Gavin [Newsom]’s fault.’ It’s nobody’s fault.”“It’s like us taking seriously that there are magic lasers in the sky that direct the weather.That doesn’t work, that doesn’t happen.”Seeking to underscore the “natural” in “natural disaster,” Goldberg said, “We don’t control Mother Nature.

Mother Nature doesn’t give a damn what we want.”“Mother Nature does what she does and if you’re in the way, this is what happens, and California is chock full of people.”The comedian expanded her thoughts on the LA fires during Monday’s episode of “The View: Behind the Table.”“There’s a lot happening.And please don’t blame the people for this.

This is Mother Nature, and nobody was prepared for it,” she implored while chatting with podcast co-host and “The View” executive producer Brian Teta.“And you couldn’t have been prepared for it because what mind could ever think that 75 hundred-thousand buildings were going to burn at the same time?”“My whole neighborhood is gone,” she confessed.“The Palisades is gone.

It’s insane.It’s insane.
