Whoopi Goldberg’s latest outburst on The View is peak Hollywood hypocrisy, lashing out at Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—both staunch 2A defenders—for supposedly having blood on their hands. This tirade came amid heated discussions on border security, where Goldberg accused them of enabling violence by not clamping down harder on illegal immigration. Never mind that Noem, a concealed carry permit holder and South Dakota’s pro-gun governor, has been on the front lines fighting cartel incursions that flood our streets with fentanyl and trafficked guns smuggled past porous borders. It’s rich coming from Whoopi, whose celebrity bubble shields her from the real-world consequences of open borders, like the murders of innocents by illegal aliens wielding firearms that bypass ATF regulations through cartel pipelines.
Dig deeper, and this rhetoric exposes the left’s twisted gun control playbook: demonize pro-2A leaders like Noem, who armed her state’s teachers against school shooters, while ignoring how 90% of crime guns traced to Mexican cartels originate from lax U.S. enforcement on straw purchases and smuggling—facts straight from ATF reports. Goldberg’s blood libel isn’t just unhinged; it’s a dog whistle to erode Second Amendment protections under the guise of safety. Noem and Bovino represent the armed guardians at the border, where AR-15s and standard-capacity mags are literal lifesavers against narco-terrorists armed to the teeth. By smearing them, Whoopi bolsters the narrative that pushes red-flag laws and assault weapon bans, which disarm law-abiding Americans while cartels laugh all the way to the Rio Grande.
For the 2A community, this is a rallying cry: every hyperbolic attack from elite talking heads like Goldberg underscores why we fight. It spotlights the nexus of borders and guns—secure the frontier, and you choke off illegal arms flows that fuel urban bloodshed. Noem’s unapologetic carry and Bovino’s tactical know-how embody the armed citizen ethos that keeps America free. Tune out the View’s venom; arm up, vote accordingly, and back leaders who prioritize liberty over celebrity sob stories. The blood on anyone’s hands belongs to open-border enablers, not our Second Amendment sentinels.
