The “Sister Act” star claimed Biden could use the opportunity to “throw every Republican in jail.”
Whoopi Goldberg had a meltdown over the Supreme Court’s decision to rule on Donald Trump’s immunity claims while co-hosting the latest episode of “The View.”
Goldberg went so far as to claim that if the Supreme Court rules in Trump’s favor, President Joe Biden could jail Republicans with impunity. (RELATED: McConnell Family Tragedy Under Criminal Investigation)
“Let’s look at a scenario where the Supreme Court says yes, he has all those rights,” Goldberg began on Friday’s show.
“He is immune from everything,” the co-host proclaimed. “You know what Joe Biden could do since he is presently president?”
“He could throw every Republican in jail,” she theorized, pausing for dramatic effect. “I mean, he could.” (RELATED: President Drops Ukraine Deployment Bombshell)
Mediaite’s Zachary Leeman explains:
The Supreme Court announced on Wednesday that they have agreed to hear oral arguments in the case regarding presidential immunity at the end of April. Critics have accused the court, which seats three Trump appointees, of providing Trump with a delay tactic to push off the Jan. 6 case.
Trump has argued he has blanket immunity in his various criminal cases and the Supreme Court will be determining how far that immunity actually goes.
Goldberg suggested on Thursday’s The View that Trump’s claims of immunity would give Biden a free pass to do anything, including jailing political rivals.
“Let’s look at a scenario where the Supreme Court says yes, he has all those rights. He is immune from everything. You know what Joe Biden could do since he is presently president? Wooooo!” Golberg said. “He could throw every Republican in jail. I mean, he could!”
Goldberg had to discourage some of the audience from applauding the idea.
