Racist Whoopi Rant: ‘Common Sense’ to Fear Truck ‘Full of White Guys’

Last week, an illegal Mexican immigrant was shot by an ICE agent while reportedly attempting to run over agents with his vehicle. Since the incident, the media has been working to twist the narrative, favoring the illegal alien, Lorenzo Salgado, and attacking ICE instead. This Monday, The View took this slanted coverage a step further with ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg making a racially charged comment about it being “common sense” for him to fear “a truck full of white guys.”Of course, they pushed the narrative that Salgado was supposedly being chased by a vehicle but conveniently omit the claims he attempted to use his own vehicle as a weapon against ICE. It was then that Goldberg brought her racism into it:SARA HAINES: They're being chased by a vehicle, I can only speak as a woman, I'm not stopping. I'm going to keep going. Because that is about safety and self-preservation.WHOOPI GOLDBERG: And forgive me, it is also chock-full of white guys. And you don't know what’s going- it's a truck- it's like- common sense tells you not to do that! Speaking on ICE involved shootings, ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg says it's "common sense" to fear and run from "a truck full of white guys." pic.twitter.com/fbOHoe7Lbs— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 13, 2026 The racism in Goldberg’s statement is readily apparent. If you were to replace “white guys” with any other racial group, people would be hounding Goldberg for an apology and maybe even a retraction. Unfortunately, because she’s targeting white people, nobody bats an eye.This isn’t the first time The View has spewed flagrant racism either. As just a handful of examples, The View has defended discriminatory practices against white people. They’ve accused Latinos of "misogyny and sexism.” They’ve painted Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a race traitor, and attacked conservative black people for similar reasons. Racism certainly isn’t out of line for The View, just as long as it supports their arguments.As if Goldberg’s blatant racism wasn’t enough, the segment then descends into overt electioneering. After a short segment lamenting Trump’s administration and praising anyone who opposes him, Goldberg told viewers to “make the change” against President Trump:So, you know, when you start, you know, folks are tweeting stuff and writing all of this stuff, you better start thinking about who all of us are. Because if we don't- if we don't get this under control, this is what we're going to be living with for the next little while, and I don't want it. I don't think you want it. I don't think you want it. Gotta make the change. More direct electioneering from ABC News (a direct violation of their broadcast license), Goldberg urges people to elect candidates who oppose President Trump.She claims Trump is against "other's right to exist" and suggests he likes killings in the street. pic.twitter.com/kGfMfEEUIR— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 13, 2026 As with the previous racist remarks, this isn’t The View’s first time telling its viewers to vote a certain way. Far from it! The situation has gotten so bad that the Media Research Center petitioned the FCC to shut down the renewal of ABC’s broadcasting license, and to strip The View of their status as a purported “bona fide news program.” The transcript is below.

The family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is demanding answers after the Mexican national was shot and killed with a confrontation with ICE agents in Texas last week. Take a look:[Cuts to video]RONALDO SALGADO: We crossed every "T," dotted every "I," filled out every document, went to every appointment. It is a basic human right to be able to have a long life, regardless of legal status. I just want all Americans to know that my dad was a hard-working man, a family man, who wanted nothing more than to put food on the table and to watch his sons achieve the American dream.[Cuts back to live]GOLDBERG: And then this morning, we're learning about another fatal ICE-involved shooting in Maine. I mean, look, what is going on? Where is the accountability for all of this? I thought we explained we did not want this to continue to happen?SARA HAINES: No, and then we also wanted body cams. And according to the Texas law enforcement, they didn't have enough to put them on everyone. Then they shouldn't be going out on arrests. You can't have unmarked, unmanned cars chasing people. If you watch all the videos, there's no lights to indicate anything. They're being chased by a vehicle, I can only speak as a woman, I'm not stopping. I'm going to keep going. Because that is about safety and self-preservation.GOLDBERG: And forgive me, it is also chock-full of white guys. And you don't know what’s going- it's a truck- it's like- common sense tells you not to do that!(...)11:24:59GOLDBERG: We have to stay on these cases. We have to mention them, we have to make other people weary from us saying, we're sick of this, we're not putting up with this. November's elections are very important. Very important. And again, I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it again, because there are great Republicans who want to see change. They want to see change, because that's- this is not the country they wanted. This is not the country they voted for, it's not what they want. They're ready to vote with us, so that all of us are voting for each other's rights. We are voting for each other's right to exist, each other's right to have a good life, raise our kids, make our jobs function, and not pay a zillion dollars for gas and food. This is the stuff that is all of us. You know? So, you know, when you start, you know, folks are tweeting stuff and writing all of this stuff, you better start thinking about who all of us are. Because if we don't- if we don't get this under control, this is what we're going to be living with for the next little while, and I don't want it. I don't think you want it. I don't think you want it. Gotta make the change. We’ll be back.
