WHOOPI GOLDBERG CRITICIZES NBC'S CRAIG MELVIN FOR ASKING VP KAMALA HARRIS IF LIZ CHENEY WILL REPLACE

[George II]

On The View, Whoopi Goldberg blasted NBC anchor Craig Melvin for his questions toward Vice President Kamala Harris concerning the 2024 election.

~~~~~~~~~~

The question came after a New York Times op-ed explored the question of whether Biden will run for reelection with Liz Cheney (R-WY), who lost her leadership of the House due to her feud with former President Donald Trump and her support of the Jan 6th Commission.

~~~~~~~~~~

On the daily talk show, Goldberg criticized Melvin, calling his questions “insulting.”

“Not only is it insulting but, you know, it’s just crazy.” Goldberg said. “This idea that we have no say over what’s happening like it’s already done and we shouldn’t give a poop.”

1. Craig's a Company Man...n/t

7. He and the company need to be challenged.

2. These "who's going to run" marginations are racist, sexist or both. M$M needs to be confronted with

... it ASAP cause their racist ass keeps doing it.

3. That's a weird question!

Why would Biden get rid of Harris and choose someone from the other party to run with him? The question must have been intended to rile Harris and get her to say something off the cuff. No serious reporter could ever think that would happen, right?

4. Yuck. Was he serious?

SMH.

5. Whoopie is correct

It was insulting, but Kamala should have known better than to do an interview with that 'company man' lightweight

[gulliver]

6. Nope. It's a stupid and crazy thing to ask, but it's fair game to ask Harris that

Insulting? Sure. Leaders are insulted all the time. How they take the insult is one way you test their leadership.

8. This is based on

a Tom Friedman oped for the NYT (paywall) but ny post attacked it

9. I agree with Whoopi. That was a tabloid question.

It lowered the integrity of the interviewer.

[Tickle]

10. I don't think there was

anything wrong with asking that question. Her answer of come on grow up (she didn’t use my words) was a good answer. Only an idiot would think that would happen so shut up the idiots

11. Andrew Yang posted a tweet with the suggestion and was...

righteously dragged for it.

12. Craig Melvin is always trying for a gotcha moment. Then NBC plays it for days. Enough.

When he interviewed Janes Patterson and Bill Clinton he went right for a Monica Lewinsky question. It had nothing to do with the book and he pretty much ignore JP. Can’t stand him.

13. So who is behind this story? Who is floating it?
