Whoopi Goldberg and her fellow hosts on The View started off the Thursday, September 11, episode addressing the death of Charlie Kirk.
Kirk, 31, was shot and killed while he was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, September 10, and Goldberg, 69, called his death “beyond devastating.”
“Isn’t a fundamental part of being an American that we are able to express our opinions to each other without fear? Without this kind of horror happening?” Goldberg asked on the ABC talk show. “It seems to be something we are seeing more and more of, and it’s not even left or right. It’s just people being taken out because of their beliefs and their thoughts.”
Her co-host Sunny Hostin added that it was “antithetical to who we are as Americans.”
“I can’t believe that someone would kill another person because they were speaking their beliefs,” Hostin, 56, continued. “This is antithetical to who we are as Americans. The first amendment is the first amendment for a reason. We should be able to voice whatever opinions we have.”
Before moving on, Goldberg said, “All the things we’ve seen — the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the aggressiveness when they went after Paul Pelosi, the couple in Minnesota — this is not the way we do it. We say this every time, but, somehow, it’s not resonating, and I hope that young Republicans never forget that they have a voice. They have a voice. We all have voices. We should never ever be afraid. It’s beyond, beyond.” Goldberg also noted that Kirk’s shooter was still at large at the time of broadcast.
Utah Valley University was the first stop on Kirk’s American Comeback Tour. He was addressing the crowd when he was jolted backward as he was shot. Kirk was transported to the hospital and underwent surgery but doctors were unable to save him. He’s survived by his wife, Erika Frantzve, and two children.
