Veteran actress Whoopi Goldberg is making plans to leave the U.S. in case Donald Trump is elected as president on November. The 60-year old comedian openly expressed her sentiments over Trump's blaming immigrants for U.S. problems.
Fox News reported that on the Wednesday episode of "The View," Goldberg, a co-host of the show said, "I've always been an American, and this has always been my country, and we've always been able to have discussions."
Goldberg further elaborated on her statement saying, "And suddenly now it's turning into, you know, 'not them, not them.' And you know, we have a lot of friends whose parents saw this already." To this she added, "They don't want to relive this. They don't want to relive this. So I need all the candidates to get it together. Get back to American values."
According to Goldberg, she does not think that Trump's views reflect what America is all about. People must stop blaming others for the problems that hound U.S. For Goldberg, these troubles must not be attributed to immigrants.
Breitbart has reported on the sentiments of another co-host, Joy Behar, where she said, "That's scapegoating. It's as old as the hills. What do you think World War II is all about?" Behar believes that what transpired in World War II where Jews were blamed is happening all over again. This time around it is the Muslims and the Mexicans.
In the later part of the show, Behar said that she believes that Americans will come to their senses at the end of the day. Trump has actually alienated the Hispanics, and that "he can't win without 40 percent of the Hispanic vote."
As for Goldberg, she said she can afford to go. While she still isn't sure where she will head to, all she knows is that a Trump presidency is a signal for her to leave America.
