Goldberg joined her cohosts on Monday?s broadcast of ABC?s ?The View,?
where they discussed the fatal confrontation between anti-ICE activist
Renee Good and the ICE agent who shot and killed her when she
accelerated toward him, striking him with her vehicle. Goldberg?s
overall assessment of the situation was that ICE agents were more
violent than the people they were apprehending in major cities like >Minneapolis.

WATCH:

After calling all ICE agents ?violent criminals? before the
commercial break, Whoopi comes back and claims that?s not
what she did and whines about people calling her out:

?Welcome back. Before we go on, I ? before folks gather around
and say, ?oh, she?s accusing all of the?

Goldberg began by complaining that the Department of Homeland Security
had promised to pick up the worst of the worst and the most ?violent >criminals? ? and reports detailing who ICE agents have arrested since
the surge in Minneapolis began indicate they have followed through on
that promise.

But Goldberg disagreed with DHS and said that, as far as she was
concerned, it appeared that the ?violent criminals? were inside ICE.

?This is the thing, you said you were going after the bad guys. That?s
what you said, the violent criminals. And what does it turn out? The
violent criminals seem to be in the agency,? she said.

The show cut to a commercial break then, and by the time they returned
to air, she was already trying to un-ring the bell.

?Welcome back. Before we go on, I ? before folks gather around and say,
?oh, she?s accusing all of the folks at ICE of being criminals,? that
is not what I?m doing. And just so I?m clear, it feels sometimes that
there is no one watching the henhouse. Okay? So before y?all start
blowing it into all kinds of other stuff, just know that it?s nuance >speaking,? she said.

Network to Whoopi, "Good job pushing the envelope, that is what we pay
you to do. But you pushed too far again. Don?t apologize, but fix it now
or else. Got it?"
Network has to tug on pug leash again.

So if I call her somebody who used to be an extremely funny lady that
has become exceptionally problematic by constantly preaching to her
choir and deserves to have her career "terminated with extreme
prejudice" I'm using 'nuance'?

OK I can handle that...
