Whoopi Goes Full Hillary On Biden Cover-Up: What Difference, At This Point, Does It Make?

In a moment that recalled former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s frustrated exclamation during the Benghazi hearings, “The View” host Whoopi Goldberg lashed out at everyone who has been questioning former President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical fitness for the job he held until January 20.

“Why is this important to know now?” she demanded to know during Tuesday’s broadcast — the same day that “Original Sin,” the book from CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson on Biden’s obvious decline, hit bookstores everywhere.

Golberg began by attacking the authors’ reliance on “anonymous sources” to write the book — and wondered why those people, if they were willing to provide such damning information after the fact, had not been willing to speak up earlier.

“But my question is, why is this important to know now?” Goldberg asked — sounding much like Clinton, who during the Benghazi hearings had asked, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

“It just seems to me, you know, we got a lot of stuff to be concerned about at the moment,” she continued, suggesting that it no longer mattered that Biden’s decline was hidden from the American people even thought many of the people responsible for hiding it were still in positions of influence and power.

Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back on the rest of her cohosts, saying that if they wanted to claim they were supportive of a free press, they couldn’t attack the press when it reported things they didn’t like.

Cohost Sara Haines mentioned the recently-released audio from former Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Biden, acknowledging how damaging that was to Biden — but Goldberg pushed back and dismissed Biden’s failure to recall important events as him being just “a little stumble, a little rumbly.”
