Staten Island bakery customers batter Whoopi Goldberg for dubious claim she wasn’t served over liberal views: ‘Bulls---’

New Yorkers aren’t letting Whoopi Goldberg’s sourpuss spoil their favorite spot for sweet treats, after she put a local bakery on blast on national TV, alleging they refused to serve her because of her lefty political beliefs.
“I think it’s ridiculous. Why would she come all the way to Staten Island for her cupcake? To make an issue? They’ve been here forever,” Deborah Bernaz, 68, said of the comic’s claims against the beloved 145-year old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with politics. They’re a little Staten Island bakery. I think it’s bulls–t what she’s saying. Leave politics out of the bakery,”
The actress and “The View” co-host went into full victim mode on Wednesday’s broadcast, grousing that Holtermann’s wouldn’t sell her the Charlotte Russe desserts she wanted to celebrate her 68th birthday on the show because of her “politics.”
“Now, I should tell you, Charlotte Russe has no political leanings, and the place that made these refused to make them for me,” Goldberg said, prompting aghast reactions from the audience and co-hosts.
“They said that their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff, but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them.”
“They did not like my politics,” she said without evidence.
But Holtermann’s loyal customers told The Post they weren’t buying her claims.
**SNIP**
“She can basically put a place out of business by saying those comments live like that. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Could almost call it misinformation coming from a TV show.
