Co-host of “The View” Whoopi Goldberg is taking aim at Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) over her outburst during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union.
During a segment on Wednesday, Goldberg referenced Boebert’s viral moment as she said, “This is Lauren. Now, you know, don’t talk about the military unless you really want to talk about the military. You can’t do what they do. That’s why we revere them because they do the stuff we can’t do.”
“And the minute you poop on them. You poop on them like the last guy did, talking about those Gold Star families, talking about Mr. McCain as not being a hero. Who the hell do you think you are, little girl? Who do you think you are?” She continued.
Finally, Goldberg said, “You don’t have to like this president to be respectful of him talking about the military and his son who died. You don’t have to like him. But you must be respectful. You gotta be.”

Biden made a reference to deceased U.S. service members in flag-draped coffins during his remarks which led Boebert to puncture the solemn mood in the House chamber as she shouted, “You put them in. Thirteen of them.”
In a tweet Tuesday night, the Colorado Congresswoman explained, “When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn’t stay silent. I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there.”
“Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better,” she added.

Boebert’s comments referred to the 13 U.S. service members who died in Kabul, Afghanistan, in Aug. 2021 when a suicide bomber detonated explosives. At least 170 civilians were killed as well.
The attack came amid the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Republicans have used the suicide bombing to attack Biden and call for his resignation or impeachment.
