Goldberg Claims Trump Comments About Vetting Bahama Hurricane Victims Are Racist

Tuesday on The View, the hosts spun a comment President Trump made about criminals entering the U.S., as another example of how Trump hated black people. While answering a reporter’s question about hurricane refugees from the Bahamas, Trump warned we had to be careful about letting in “very bad people” such as “drug dealers” and “gang members” into the country. View co-host Whoopi Goldberg complained that this was clearly a racist statement about everyone who lived in the Bahamas.

After playing the clip of Trump’s remarks, where he said, “I don't want to allow people that weren't supposed to be in the Bahamas to come into the United States, including some very bad people and some very bad gang members and some very, very bad drug dealers,” Whoopi declared the following:

“How do you not look at this man and say this is a racial problem? How do you not?” She added that she didn’t like to constantly bring up race but it was right there.
