Whoopi Goldberg Calls Bill Maher 'flippant' over his anti-mask remarks

The scathing remarks of HBO's Bill Maher on his late night show on Friday didn't go well with The View's Whoopi Goldberg and she openly lashed out at his anti-mask rant. Well, this was not the first time for Maher to flex his pro-right-wing remarks in the form of comedy and had several times faced the heat of netizens.

Maher on his HBO show on Friday had said, "I don't want to live in your paranoid world anymore, you know, you go out it's silly now. You know you have your mask, you have to have a card, you have the booster, they scan your head like you're a cashier and I'm a bunch of bananas. I'm not bananas, you are."

Bill Maher takes a dig at Biden voters, says 'we can't blame everything' on Donald Trump anymore.

Owing to his absurd remarks, on Monday's 'The View', Goldberg called his remarks "not really funny to people who have lost their kids" or "family members or dear friends to this." She called his attitude 'flippant' and continued saying "listen, nobody on the planet really wants to go through this, this is not something we're doing because it's, you know, sexually gratifying. This is what we're doing to protect our families, and you don't have to do it, but stay away from everybody. Because if you're the one who's not paying attention, and your confidence needs, you don't want to then stay out of the public man."

Maher, too, criticized the notion of vaccine passports, temperature checks, and mask-wearing throughout his show. The 66-year-old also said he doesn’t plan on getting a vaccine booster. The unhinged DC crowd cheered to his fanatics but a rational part of netizens criticized his statements and anti-vaccine rants.

Meanwhile, The View's co-host Sara Hines commented that Goldberg didn’t “understand the post-mask part” of Maher’s rant, suggesting that when it comes to flying and large indoor activities, mask-wearing may be the norm for many people going forward. “I think some of the things we’ve learned in this pandemic will stay the same,” she said. “I may never go on a subway anymore without a mask. I may never go indoors to big crowds and feel comfortable without a mask. And that’s up to me to do that.”
