When “The View” producers extended the invitation to Riley Gaines to set the record straight, they likely anticipated that Whoopi Goldberg would seize the opportunity for a lively exchange. However, they were mistaken. Ms. Gaines appeared on the show remotely to share her experience of competing against a biological male twice her size. Before she could utter three words, Whoopi interjected, accusing her of being a bigot seeking fame by aligning with Lia Thomas. Despite appearing initially timid, Gaines swiftly transformed into the assertive competitor we all recognize, confronting Whoopi directly. “You don’t genuinely care about women,” she declared firmly, “you have no comprehension of what it’s like to face something like this.” Goldberg was rendered speechless. After a moment of stunned silence, she finally offered an apology. “I’m sorry,” she conceded.
In response, she retorted, “I’m sorry…what? Did you just try to explain to a black woman from New York how tough your life is, dear? You tied for 5th place. You aiming to be the next Tomi Lahren? Sweetheart, your eyes are too close together, hun.” Gaines swiftly countered without hesitation, “Oh yeah?” she exclaimed, “Well, you don’t even care about women!” It marked a triumphant moment for her, undoubtedly. Bless you, Riley Gaines, and bless America.
