Whoopi Goldberg Thinks Trump Is Just Like Raul Castro

Whoopi Goldberg compared President Donald Trump to Cuba President Raul Castro when it comes to being able to speak out against the government and holding “free and fair elections.”

During a panel discussion on “The View” Monday the co-hosts were talking about Trump’s recent move to roll back Obama-era policies when it comes to Cuba because of its well-documented human rights violations. (RELATED: Fight Breaks Out On ‘The View’ Over Why Hillary Lost)

“He [Trump] didn’t really do that much…he didn’t undo what Obama did a hundred percent,” Joy Behar insisted. “But he did just enough to say to his base, ‘You see, I undid what Obama did.’ That seems to be what his…”

“No, he did a lot,” Jedediah Bila responded. “What was happening is American citizens were going over there and funding these establishments, thinking they are promoting democracy and promoting ideas that are good for the Cuba people, but actually all of that money was going to the Cuban military. And that’s what Trump is saying. What the Obama administration did, it did not help the Cuban people.”

Sunny Hostin jumped in and said she was “not going to compare the United States to Cuba,” but felt that Cuban officials were correct in their assessment about the problems of racial discrimination and police brutality in the U.S.

“Cuba’s harboring a convicted cop killer,” Bila snapped back. “No, Cuba does not have a point. This show…you see the block we just did on Donald Trump, let’s try to take this show over to Cuba and let’s criticize Raul Castro. That would not happen.”

“You can barely do it here,” Goldberg interjected. “Let’s talk about that. You know, we’re not there yet.”

“We are doing it here everyday,” Bila responded. “But on this issue, he’s setting conditions. He’s saying, release your political prisoners, have free and fair elections…”

“You first Mr. T, ” Goldberg responded as she refuses to say Trump’s name.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
