Whoopi Goldberg publicly scolded Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert during Wednesday’s episode of "The View" because she claimed that it was disrespectful to heckle Biden about last year’s withdrawal from Afghanistan that left over a dozen US military members dead.
Leading into the rant, one of the hosts questioned whether it was Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene who made the remarks.
Then Whoopi began her rant:
"Don’t talk about the military unless you really want to talk about the military. You know, you can’t do what they do. That’s why we revere them, because they do the stuff we can’t do, and the minute you poop on them? You poop on them like the last guy did, talking about those gold star families? Talking about Mr. McCain as not being a hero? Who the hell do you think you are, lil’ girl? Who do you think you are?"
"You don’t have to like this President, to be respectful of him talking about the military, and his son who died. You don’t have to like him. But you must be respectful, you gotta be," she continued.
On Tuesday evening, Boebert took credit for the audible moment and explained why she did it.
When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn't stay silent. I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there.

Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better.
The Congresswoman was referring to the thirteen American soldiers who were killed in an ISIS bombing last August amidst a last-minute evacuation operation at the Kabul airport put on by the Biden administration.
The takeover of the country by the Taliban led to the collapse of the previous government and a mass evacuation effort.
Fathers of the slain soldiers later complained to Sean Hannity about the disrespect President Biden displayed by repeatedly checking his watch when the caskets of their dead children were brought back home.
At the start of last month, Goldberg received a two-week suspension from "The View" after making comments on-air about the Holocaust and race. It was a fiasco that almost made Whoopi quit the show entirely.
