Yesterday on “The View,” cohost Whoopi Goldberg said that “Tucker Carlson took a page from George Orwell’s ‘1984’” in showing previously unreleased footage from the January 6 riots at the Capitol:

And today, in what scientists call “a delightfully ironic but not-at-all surprising twist,” Whoopi argued that the First Amendment isn’t absolute and that lying “should be against the law”:
Whoopi Goldberg suggests that the government should shut down Fox News and prosecute everyone there for "recruiting" domestic terrorists.
And she also claims the First Amendment has limits: "[It] doesn't allow you to willingly lie."

Whoopi thinks we need to get the Justice Department involved in cleaning up the public discourse:
Whoopi "hopes the DOJ" does something to Fox News. Sunny "hopes Merrick Garland is listening" to The View was legal advice.
The cast falsely claims ABC and Disney hold them to a high standard and would correct lies.

“The View” routinely lies about all sorts of stuff. Whoopi alone has been an active and willing participant in the spread of tons of misinformation and disinformation. Just look at the misinformation and disinformation she spread about the First Amendment today!
"It doesn't allow you to willingly lie." Yes, it does. It literally does.
All the evidence you need that Progressives are authoritarian is in their desire to police intentions. This is the path to Thoughtcrime. https://t.co/R8FhJbz2Rc— Abigail Burns (@RealAbigailB) March 8, 2023
Lol, it absolutely permits you to willingly lie. It's the only reason she still has a show. https://t.co/XcsGduCWBF

Right? How many times have we busted “The View” for pushing lies, just in the past few months alone? And we’ve never called for them to be shut down. Last time we checked, dishonesty wasn’t against the law. Neither was stupidity, fortunately for “The View.”
Every person on @TheView lies regularly. https://t.co/UviwFLOOCe

They should change the name of the show to 'The Projection' https://t.co/HQGRBZnnz7

No kidding.
If the government is permitted to shut down TV shows for lying, I have an ironic twist for Whoopi. https://t.co/rnb1z5QfU0

Be careful what you wish for, Whoopi.
