Whoopi Launches Tirade Against Karoline Leavitt After First White House Briefing

�The View� host Whoopi Goldberg ripped into White House Press Secretary
Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday, scolding her for being critical of Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies and suggested that without �wokeness,�
she might not have a job in President Donald Trump�s administration.

�I would like � this young lady who�s � this is her first job, I would like
her to do a little homework, because she said something yesterday that really
pissed me off,� Goldberg began. �And that was, she said, �There will be no
wokeness here.'�

�Let me explain something to you because without that wokeness, you might not
have that job,� Goldberg continued. �Because women were not invited to that
table. Women were not invited to many tables in this nation. The reason we
fought and busted our behinds to make sure that you didn�t have to worry
about this.�

Goldberg continued down that path, continuing to claim that Leavitt, 27,
would not have her job without �wokeness.�

�The wokeness was put in place for a reason!� she said. �Please, please stop
using that phrase to talk about it because you don�t understand what you�re
saying!�

Goldberg then pivoted to make the exact argument that President Trump and
others within his administration have been making for doing away with DEI
initiatives and moving instead towards merit-based systems.

�I will say this: I feel a lot better when I know there are standards people
have to meet,� she said, and her cohosts agreed with her. �And so, you can
bring in whoever you want, the truth will � the proof will be in the pudding.
We can stand and say this is terrible, but so we�re going to wait and see
what happens.�

Goldberg went on to suggest that the White House press pool in a Trump White
House � despite the fact that it was not the case during his first
administration � was likely to become �state-run� media.
