Whoopi Goldberg Clocks JD Vance Over His ‘Disconnected’ Taylor Swift Take

Whoopi Goldberg knocked Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Thursday for being one of “many snowflakes” upset by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.

“The View” co-host noted that Republicans aren’t pleased with the pop star, who backed Harris and signed her social media post as “Childless Cat Lady” following Tuesday’s debate, before tossing to a clip of Donald Trump’s running mate giving his two cents on Swift.

“We admire Taylor Swift’s music but I don’t think most Americans — whether they like her music, or [are] fans of hers or not — are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans,” said Vance in the Fox News clip from Wednesday.

He continued, “When grocery prices go up 20%, it hurts most Americans. It doesn’t hurt Taylor Swift. When housing prices become unaffordable, it doesn’t affect Taylor Swift or any other billionaire.”

Goldberg, in response to the clip, declared that Vance doesn’t know “what affects her” and doesn’t know about “her money.”

“How are you talking about — shut up, JD,” said Goldberg, who later corrected herself and told Vance to “stop talking.”

She added, “The reason I apologized is because I hate when people tell me, pundits tell me to shut up so it’s not a nice thing to say. So I do take it back. But the implication is… hush.”

“The View” co-host noted that the support from Swift, who has over 284 million followers and seemingly sparked a surge in visits to a U.S. government voter information page, is “really freaking” Republicans out.

The comments from Goldberg arrived after Swift continued to call on fans to register to vote as she accepted the Video of the Year honor at the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday.
