Whoopi Goldberg goes viral for 1-word response to Meghan McCain Rant

Sometimes you just can’t say anything.

After a lengthy tirade from “The View” co-host Meghan McCain on Tuesday, Whoopi Goldberg waited three full seconds to process and then managed to deliver a simple but considered answer: “OK.”

Sentiment resonated in viewers’ homes, and a clip of the moment quickly garnered over 1.6 million views when it shot Whoopi’s name on Twitter’s trending topics list.

McCain’s comments came during a discussion of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Sunday night interview with Oprah Winfrey, and British TV personality Piers Morgan, who stormed Good Morning Britain on Tuesday after being called into questioning Markle’s revelations about her mental health issues. . .

McCain took the conversation in a new direction. She talked about the American Revolution and how she loves visiting Mount Vernon in Virginia as “ the home of our Founding Fathers, ” explaining that she doesn’t want to defend the monarchy because she’s “ a red-blooded 100% American celebrating freedom anyway i can. She went on to discuss a generation gap in the UK between how young and older people see the monarchy and then “encourage all Americans to visit Mount Vernon and see why monarchies are stupid.”

“The American experiment is the way to go, and when we have two American women – Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey – who single-handedly finish what George Washington and our revolutionary counterparts did, then I’m all for it,” she concluded.

Goldberg offered an “OK” before going to a commercial and said, “I think we’ll talk more about this when we come back.”

While the show’s panel has been known to argue, in the past tense moments online have often surfaced between Goldberg and McCain.
