Whoopi Goldberg Says She’ll ‘Punch Somebody’ if Republicans Offer ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ After Uvalde Shooting

“📺The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg is warning Republican lawmakers against sending “thoughts and prayers” in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting.

Goldberg asked on Wednesday, “What are we doing? Why are we always at square one with this?“

”And I swear to God if I hear another Republican senator talk about their heart being broken, I’m going to go punch somebody. I can’t take any thoughts and prayers,” she continued.

Goldberg added, “If your thoughts and prayers were with everybody, you would have done something by now. It’s not like everybody’s not trying to make something happen. What the hell is going on?”

Co-host Joy Behar chimed in as she said, “I want them to stop gaslighting me, also.”

“Stop saying it’s not guns that kill people, it’s people that kill people. It’s guns that kill people, okay? Stop saying the opposite,” she continued.

Behar went on:

“Stop saying that mental illness is behind this. There’s mental illness in every country in the world, and they don’t have this problem. So stop gaslighting me on that one, and stop saying that you can have a good guy stop a bad guy with a gun.”

She added, “We have seen in both of these shootings in the past three weeks that a good guy tried and could not do it. So stop gaslighting us.”
