Whoopi Goldberg gets a big KUDOS from Ted Cruz over her smackdown of Debra Messing and Eric McCormack

by The Right Scoop

Yesterday Whoopi Goldberg went after Debra Messing and Eric McCormack after they called for a blacklist of Trump donors that will attend a fundraiser in Beverly Hills:

Here’s what she said, according to the DC Examiner:

“Listen, the last time people did this. People ended up killing themselves. This is not a good idea,” Goldberg said as she compared the actors’ insistence for a public list of Trump donors to McCarthyism. “We had something called a blacklist, and a lot of really good people were accused of stuff. Nobody cared whether it was true or not. They were accused. And they lost their right to work.”

“In this country, people can vote for who they want to. That is one of the great rights of this country. You don’t have to like it, but we don’t go after people because we don’t like who they voted for. We don’t go after them that way. We can talk about issues and stuff, but we don’t print out lists. I’m sure you guys misspoke when you said that because it sounded like a good idea. Think about it. Read about it. Remember what the blacklist actually meant to people and don’t encourage anyone, anyone, to do it.”

Earlier today we told you how Messing and McCormack backtracked and I suspect Whoopi’s monologue here had a lot to do with it.

While Cruz wasn’t really buying what Messing and McCormack were selling today, he did give a big shout out to Whoopi for standing up for free speech:

He even threw one Susan Sarandon’s way for backing Whoopi up:

We’re gonna go ahead and make this an open thread for ya. Enjoy!
