Whoopi Goldberg Suggests Super Bowl Fans Darken Skin, Use Latin Accent to Confuse ICE

The on-air riff followed Kristi Noem’s stated plan to send ICE to the Super Bowl.

Overview

  • The View discussed Noem’s pledge in the context of Bad Bunny’s upcoming halftime show during the program’s Hot Topics segment on ABC.
  • Goldberg told viewers to "get a little cocoa butter, sit in the sun" and to "give yourself a Latin accent" to challenge how authorities would identify people.
  • Joy Behar cited what she described as a recent Supreme Court decision that she said allows questioning based on appearance or accent.
  • Behar praised the suggestion and referenced a World War II story about citizens wearing Jewish stars, a popular anecdote that historians regard as a legend.
  • The exchange drew scattered applause in the studio and was quickly reported by TheWrap and Mediaite, with no official response reported from Noem, ICE, or legal authorities.
