Candace Owens featured Riley Gaines on her show, and it proved to be a compelling watch. As Owens tapes her show concurrently with “The View,” she and Gaines decided to call in and speak with Whoopi Goldberg.
Anticipating a refusal, Owens remarked, “She dislikes everything; I doubt she’ll even take our call.” Owens was correct, as Whoopi chose not to engage with the two young stars directly but conveyed a message through her producers. She stated, “There’s no place for extremists on The View, and there never will be.”
The irony was unmistakable, given Whoopi’s own perceived extremism. In response, Owens humorously displayed a large “laugh-react” sign and, along with Riley, spent three minutes poking fun at Whoopi’s hair. The episode is scheduled to air in the fall.
Whoopi declined to discuss the incident with the correspondent, opting instead to send another cease and desist letter, urging them to cease using her in these stories. In her plea, she wrote, “Please. I’m begging you. Just find someone else. Anyone else. I’m tired of facing termination or cancellation every other day. Move on to anyone else. Literally. Take Joy, for Christ’s sake. Nobody will miss her.”
Despite this suggestion, Joy is not as popular as Whoopi, and remarks about her dreads alone occupy a significant portion of the internet’s memory, constituting 14 percent.
