| Whoopi Goldberg compares Texas Trump caravan 'a scene from Mississippi Burning' |
| 2020-11-03 |
| [MAIL] Whoopi Goldberg sparked outrage by comparing a convoy of Trump supporters accused of 'ambushing' a Biden campaign bus on a Texas highway to a scene from the movie Mississippi Burning. Goldberg and her co-hosts reacted to the Biden bus incident on Monday's episode of The View, broadcasting video which showed a number of MAGA flag-flying cars driving perilously close to the bus on Interstate 35 in Hays County last week. The Biden campaign accused the Trump caravan of trying to run the bus off the road, while President Trump publicly praised the participants and slammed the FBI for opening an investigation into the incident. Goldberg sided with the Biden camp, calling the incident: 'Probably one of the most dangerous things you can do.' 'Buses can't stop on a dime, and be happy that you drivers didn't get hit when you surrounded this bus,' she said. 'You could have caused all kinds of havoc. You could have gotten yourselves killed, because the buses can't slow down the way you need them to.' 'Thank God this person saw and slowed in order to let you do what you did, which looked a lot like a scene out of Mississippi Burning.' Mississippi Burning (1988) chronicled the FBI's investigation into the disappearance of three civil rights activists who were murdered by the Klu Klux Klan in 1964 in Philadelphia, Mississippi. |

| #23 I liked Jumpin' Jack Flash though Whoopi's antics make it hard to get the CD out and rewatch someone whose political antics I despise. |

| #20 Her stage name refers to whoopee cushions and the fact that she feels as if she ought to be of Jewish descent. Sounds like cultural appropriation... I'm bein' micro-aggressed |

| #16 The whole "Whoopi Goldberg compares" model has been showed to be, uh, a little flawed in the past. |

| #7 Oh, and when a Trump supporter was stalked and gunned down, did Whoopi compare that to Mississippi Burning? |

| #6 She's not wrong: a Democrat tried to run a Republican off the road to punish him for not toeing the Democrat line. |
