In a desperate effort to scare people into voting for Vice President Kamala Harris before the election, Whoopi Goldberg used her platform on ABC’s The View to falsely claims President Trump was going to break up interracial marriages and redistribute the white spouse. But during Thursday’s edition of the show, fake Republican co-host Ana Navarro falsely claimed that Trump had already made part of Goldberg’s unhinged prediction a reality.
Amid their hyperventilating about Trump doing away with racist DEI programs in the federal government, Navarro warned that “he also revoked an order, the equal opportunity order signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965.”
According to her, this meant, “He's not taking us back four years. He's taking us back to 1965 before it was legal for there to be interracial marriage.”
“That’s true,” fill-in moderator Joy Behar agreed. “That's right. That’s why it’s so broad,” Sunny Hostin also chimed in.
Navarro proceed to bloviate about how this would give “a green light” for racists, homophobes, and misogynists to discriminate in hiring:
And, look, I would love to think – and I hope that we get there one day – I would love to think that there is no racism by the people who do hirings in the government and in corporations in America, but that is not the case. I would love to think that there is no homophobia but that is not the case.
And I think by getting rid of this and doing it in such a bold way on day one, what he is doing is giving a green light to people who are racist, to people who are homophobic, to people who are anti-women and think they should be in the kitchen and telling them there is no consequence to your racism.
There were none of The View's infamous legal notes to correct what she said.
Ahead of Navarro’s asinine comments Hostin released her own hot air about how Trump had launched a “war on women” and “war on people of color.”
“I think this is a really important issue, especially because when we're talking about DEI,” she proclaimed. “And this will specifically harm women, right? And it will specifically harm African Americans and Latinos, so we're not just talking about black jobs.”
Calling it “a second nadir,” Hostin claimed that Trump was doing the “same thing” and Democratic President Woodrow Wilson did. “[H]e re-segregated the federal government leading to a plunge in income for not only black workers but also for women,” she said.
She went on to claim that Trump was waging “war” on groups of Americans:
And so, what we're seeing is an attack not on necessarily DEI or wokeness, we're seeing an attack on the very fabric of our company, which is opportunity for all including women. And women, what Whoopi has said often, women were really the most -- they gained the most advantages from affirmative action. And so, this is a war on women. I think it's a war on people of color. And what we are going to see is a lot of pain, but especially to those communities that need those jobs.
Keeping the insanity train rolling, Behar also suggested Trump was carrying out Nazi-style purges.

SUNNY HOSTIN: I think this is a really important issue, especially because when we're talking about DEI, we're not talking about a DEI office, we're talking about equal opportunity and inclusion across all offices for all people, so that it is more reflective of what America looks like. And this will specifically harm women, right? And it will specifically harm African Americans and Latinos, so we're not just talking about black jobs.
JOY BEHAR: How about Asians?
HOSTIN: I will affect Asians as well.
And so, I think this is really counter to his campaign promises to protect black jobs, because in the federal government, overwhelmingly, black professionals work there. We're talking about over 16 percent, more than the black population.
And so I think what we're facing here is sort of a second nadir, because Woodrow Wilson, you know, back in the day did the same thing, he re-segregated the federal government leading to a plunge in income for not only black workers but also for women.
And so, what we're seeing is an attack not on necessarily DEI or wokeness, we're seeing an attack on the very fabric of our company, which is opportunity for all including women. And women, what Whoopi has said often, women were really the most -- they gained the most advantages from affirmative action. And so, this is a war on women. I think it's a war on people of color. And what we are going to see is a lot of pain, but especially to those communities that need those jobs.
ANA NAVARRO: Also one community that you didn't mention is the LGBTQ+.
HOSTIN: Absolutely.
NAVARRO: One of the things he did, not only did he revoke a bunch of Biden executive orders including one that calls for the negotiation of lower drug prices for people on Medicaid and Medicare. That's going to be very painful for Americans, but he also revoked an order, the equal opportunity order signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965, so not only are we now going back --
BEHAR: He can sue Lyndon Johnson maybe.
NAVARRO: He's not taking us back four years. He's taking us back to 1965 before it was legal for there to be interracial marriage.
HOSTIN: That's right.
BEHAR: That’s true.
HOSTIN: That’s why it’s so broad.
NAVARRO: And, look, I would love to think – and I hope that we get there one day – I would love to think that there is no racism by the people who do hirings in the government and in corporations in America, but that is not the case. I would love to think that there is no homophobia but that is not the case.
And I think by getting rid of this and doing it in such a bold way on day one, what he is doing is giving a green light to people who are racist, to people who are homophobic, to people who are anti-women and think they should be in the kitchen and telling them there is no consequence to your racism.
