Whoopi Goldberg Rips Up On-Air Legal Note After Trump Autopen Quip on The View

Sunny Hostin urged a clarification during a discussion of Trump’s 60 Minutes interview, prompting Goldberg to argue her line was clearly a joke.

Overview

  • Goldberg joked that Trump used an autopen to sign the pardon for Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao during The View’s Hot Topics segment.
  • Hostin passed a note asking for a disclaimer that it is unknown whether an autopen was used for the pardon.
  • Goldberg read the note aloud, insisted “it was a joke,” and said the job is harder because “no one understands nuance.”
  • She tore up the note on camera as Alyssa Farah Griffin chimed in, “I love when Sunny passes notes.”
  • The exchange came as the panel discussed Trump’s interview, including his saying he didn’t know Zhao and their broader debate over ICE raids.
