Whoopi Goldberg: ‘Beyond Shameful’ GOP Threatening to Withhold Aid for CA Fires
Breitbart ^ | 01/14/2025 | Pam Key

Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts that Republicans like Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) saying there could be strings attached to aid for the California wildfires was “beyond shameful.”
Goldberg said, “As wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles, burning homes and costing billions in damages, some are calling for award shows like The Oscars to be postponed or canceled while others want them turned into telethons to raise funds for the victims. Right now, The Oscars aren’t until March. What I’m concerned about is this: Republicans like Mike Johnson threatening to put conditions on the aid to L.A.”
She continued, “You know, this is the thing: a burnt house doesn’t care who you voted for. When you’ve lost everything, that’s not what is on your mind, OK? And for you to threaten and forget all the people you think live out there with all the money, it’s all the folks who work in the banks, who do hair, who write the tickets that need to be, all those people, they also lost their homes. So you’re basically saying you want to attach strings to that. I hope the state of California says, listen, if this is how you’re going to deal with our money because, again, Mike Johnson and all of you nice Republicans, none of this is coming out of your pocket. This is money we have paid collectively to make sure that when things like this happen, we have what we need.”

We’re not holding back. We will just treat them like Biden treated Helene victims, that’s all.

F' u Whoopi. I've been paying taxes to California for decades and we don't have what we need, but your illegal alien friends and drug addict criminals sure get what they need with my tax dollars. What is with your L.A. mayor sending surplus fire equipment to Ukraine, and denying us from using it?

While California prepares to openly oppose Trump’s presidency, it dares the president to punish its defiance. What gives California the right to defy the federal government? The idea of immigration sanctuary should never have been permitted.

I don’t want them to do that. I would want air conditioned in the Legislature passing laws barring zoning changes, suspending environmental laws, and expediting building permits it and related procedures, else we’re just dumping money into the same sick system that got us here in the first place
