President Trump should probably start considering another defamation suit against ABC News. During The View on Wednesday, ABC moderator Whoopi Goldberg and ABC co-host Sunny Hostin accused Trump and Elon Musk of “crimes against humanity” because of cuts to USAID and supposedly causing 1.5 million kids to starve. Goldberg also went so far as to call both men “bastards” for taking away a “human right.”
Seemingly mocking Trump supporters for caring about the crimes of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his friends, Goldberg suggested she was about to catch them being hypocrites over Trump and Musk supposedly killing children with their callousness:
GOLDBERG: The demand for answers on Epstein was supposed to be in the name of protecting children.
SARA HAINES: Right.
GOLDBERG: Okay. So, this investigation from The Atlantic should enrage them as well. They are reporting that the administration is set to incinerate 500 metric tons of food that was supposed to be sent overseas. That’s enough to feed 1.5 million starving children.
“Now, you should ask yourself why? Was cruelty the point? Was Elon just trying to, you know, skinny up the government or were they just being bastards?” Goldberg sneered
The explanation given by mental titan Joy Behar was that, “They’re just being mean. They’re mean.”
“They have to destroy this food because they’ve gutted U.S. aid and so they have no system of disseminating food to children,” Hostin chided. She went on to suggest, without evidence, “It feels criminal. This feels criminal. It’s like a crime against humanity.”
Goldberg agreed that it was “criminal” and declared that if another country had been “wasteful like this,” then they would feel America’s wrath:
GOLDBERG: It’s criminal. It’s mean. And I do say, if this had happened in some other country, America would have been all over that country.
BEHAR: Or if it happened under Biden.
GOLDBERG: Or if it happened any other — any other country doing wasteful like this when it could be put to better use, we’d be all over it.
Hostin responded by accusing Trump and Musk, without evidence, of stripping away “human right[s]” from those kids:
HOSTIN: Food is a human right. Healthcare is a human right.
GOLDBERG: HUMAN right.
HOSTIN: Shelter, human right.
Healthcare was not a human right since it was a service of someone else’s labor. Said one has a right to someone else’s labor was slavery; which made sense for Hostin since she’s descended from staunch slaver owners.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: The demand for answers on Epstein was supposed to be in the name of protecting children.
SARA HAINES: Right.
GOLDBERG: Okay. So, this investigation from The Atlantic should enrage them as well. They are reporting that the administration is set to incinerate 500 metric tons of food that was supposed to be sent overseas. That’s enough to feed 1.5 million starving children.
Now, you should ask yourself why? Was cruelty the point? Was Elon just trying to, you know, skinny up the government or were they just being bastards?
JOY BEHAR: They’re just being mean. They’re mean.
SUNNY HOSTIN: They have to destroy this food because they’ve gutted U.S. aid and so they have no system of disseminating food to children. I don’t think that this is something that voters voted for.
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: And if you care about the debt, cutting USAID did absolutely nothing to address our debt and deficit.
GOLDBERG: Yeah.

GOLDBERG: They could have done something. Getting rid of food —
HOSTIN: Just burning it.
GOLDBERG: Just destroying it. For no good reason other than you’re a bonehead. This is —
HOSTIN: It feels criminal. This feels criminal. It’s like a crime against humanity.
GOLDBERG: It’s criminal. It’s mean. And I do say, if this had happened in some other country, America would have been all over that country.
BEHAR: Or if it happened under Biden.
GOLDBERG: Or if it happened any other — any other country doing wasteful like this when it could be put to better use, we’d be all over it.
HOSTIN: Food is a human right. Healthcare is a human right.
GOLDBERG: HUMAN right.
HOSTIN: Shelter, human right.
GOLDBERG: So, guys, if Epstein is bothering you, I hope this is going to piss you off as well. We’ll be right back.
