“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg had to issue a clarification after joking that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is secretly gay.
On Thursday, the co-hosts brought up Graham’s national ban on Abortion after 15 weeks. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who made a guest appearance on the show, noted Graham had previously argued the issues of Abortion and marriage should be left up to the states.
“So Sen. Graham, what changed?” she asked.
Co-host Joy Behar chimed in, “I know. What changed?”
Goldberg quipped, “Well, maybe he’s getting married.”
“Do it quick because I know people are fooling around with our marriage rights. Whoever, wherever you stand,” she added.
Her comments refer to concerns that conservatives could push to restrict same-sex marriage.

Later in the show, Goldberg had to clarify her comments as she said, “Before I do this introduction, I need to make clear that I was doing what I do as a comic.”
