Whoopi Goldberg on Wednesday declared that she was “really pissed” off after Karoline Leavitt dismissed “wokeness” during her first briefing as President Donald Trump’s White House press secretary. Leavitt — while remarking on the Trump administration’s since-rescinded federal funding freeze memo — said the “pause” would mean no more funding for “transgenderism and wokeness across our federal bureaucracy and agencies.

Whoopi Goldberg tore into Karoline Leavitt over a comment she made denigrating "wokeness" — which Goldberg says is what gave Leavitt her job at that podium.

The View' host Whoopi Goldberg on Wednesday said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt "really pissed" her off when she said there would be no wokeness in the briefing room. However, co-host Joy Behar said Leavitt only has the job because President Trump views her as a "10.

The “Hot Topic” at hand was ostensibly about the fact that Karoline Leavitt said the White House was committed to welcoming bloggers and influencers who cover news into the briefing room, but Goldberg wanted to talk about another part of her debut statements.

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed on Wednesday that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt may not have her job if not for "wokeness."

Karoline Leavitt, President Trump's White House press secretary, made her briefing room debut today. NBC News correspondents Julia Ainsley, Sahil Kapur, Ken Dilanian and The Atlantic staff writer Ashley Parker join Chris Jansing to discuss.
