Whoopi Goldberg Unleashes Fiery Rant Against Supreme Court Gerrymandering Ruling [WATCH]

Whoopi Goldberg erupted on her ABC talk show The View Thursday morning, directing her outrage squarely at the Supreme Court.

At 70, Goldberg condemned the Court’s decision to strike down Louisiana’s second majority-black congressional district, asserting that the move was designed to discourage people of color from voting.

She told viewers, “This decision, we knew this was coming because they’ve been chipping away at this for a long time.”

Goldberg continued by referencing broader issues she believes are connected to the ruling. “They the court said, you know, there’s no problem with race anymore and yet we’re fighting every day talking about Project 2025,” she said.

Expanding her remarks, she claimed the ruling would have wider effects beyond race.

“It’s going to start happening to women as well, because all these changes in voting where they’re saying you can’t use your married name, you got to go get your birth certificate,” she warned, arguing that the decision would impact many groups.

Goldberg encouraged viewers not to lose hope, saying, “This is meant to discourage you from voting. This is meant to make you feel like you don’t have a voice. You do have a voice. Do not forget that.”

The longtime host did not stop there and went on to double down. “We put the Voting Rights Act together because there was an issue. They were literally shooting people,” she said. “They were running them down with dogs to keep them from voting. OK, let’s start with that.”

She argued that dismissing racial issues in voting ignores reality. “So when they say that problem is gone, it’s not gone because you’re still doing it. You’re still doing it,” Goldberg declared.

Goldberg expressed frustration over what she sees as a lack of honest debate in the country. “And what I don’t understand is what is everybody so afraid of? Because I always thought I was raised to believe that you and I don’t have to agree,” she said.

She ended her remarks with an appeal to democratic values. “That’s all right. But now suddenly your argument doesn’t hold water so you’re cheating. See that? We’re a two party system. We’re not just Democrats, we’re not just Republicans, we’re a two party system.”

The Supreme Court ruling that sparked her reaction was issued the day before in the case Louisiana v. Callais. It was decided 6-3 along ideological lines.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the conservative majority that Louisiana’s map amounted to an “unconstitutional racial gerrymander.” In dissent, Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson disagreed, with Kagan writing that the decision had rendered an important provision of the Voting Rights Act “all but a dead letter.”

The ruling drew responses across the political spectrum. Former President Barack Obama criticized it, stating that it shows “how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy.”

Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s White House celebrated the outcome. Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, “This is a complete and total victory for American voters. The color of one’s skin should not dictate which congressional district you belong in.”

Despite Goldberg’s anger, the ruling remains in effect. The commentary closed with the perspective that Goldberg and others “can whine about the Supreme Court’s decision all that they want to, but it’s not going to change it.” According to that view, the Court represents what most Americans chose through their votes, and critics “are just going to need to deal with that.”
