Whoopi Goldberg ‘The View’ Debut; Comic Defends Michael Vick Dogfighting
Whoopi Goldberg made her debut today as the new co-host of “The View.” She took the opportunity to defend disgraced Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick, who is facing a bid behind bars on dogfighting charges.
“You know from his background this is not an unusual thing for where he comes from,” said Goldberg.
“There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of our country.”
Co-host Joy Behar seemed shocked at Goldberg’s statements.”How about dog torture and dog murdering,” Joy Behar asked.
“Unfortunately it’s part of the thing,” Goldberg replied.
“You’re a dog lover. For a lot of people dogs are sport,” she added.
It seemed like a light went off in his head when he realized that this was something the entire country really didn’t appreciated, didn’t like,” Goldberg said, referring to Vick’s guilty plea.
“This is part of his cultural upbringing,” said Goldberg.
