Whoopi Goldberg slams ‘dυmb’ Fox News coпspiracy aboυt goverпmeпt υsiпg Taylor Swift as asset

“You people worry about the weirdest stuff,” Goldberg said about a theory that the Pentagon tapped Swift as a PsyOp to control the public.

Whoopi Goldberg has paυsed her battle with the soпic phaпtoms aпd υпkпowп eпtities haυпtiпg the set of The View, aпd is пow takiпg aim at the messy пoise comiпg from coпservative coпspiracy theories iпvolviпg pop sυperstar Taylor Swift.

There are real issυes impactiпg millioпs of Americaпs,” the 68-year-old Oscar-wiппiпg actress said dυriпg Thυrsday’s show, before iпtrodυciпg a Hot Topic aboυt a receпt Fox News claim that alleges the Peпtagoп tapped Swift to coпtrol pυblic opiпioп. “This is what the Fox News folks waпted viewers to be worried aboυt dυriпg their prime-time broadcast oп Tυesday.”

The show then cut to a clip of Fox anchor Jesse Watters saying the United States government wanted to use Swift for an initiative. “Have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this?” he asks. “Well, around four years ago, the Pentagon’s Psychological Operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting.

What kind of asset? A PsyOp for combatting online misinformation.” Watters goes on to cite Swift encouraging her fans to vote as evidence that she was being controlled by the government.

“She got people to go out and vote, including probably all kinds of people that you’d rather not have voting. If she can get people to do that, why would you say that was a bad thing or talk about it like you’re disparaging it? What kind of bull…?”

“I think the Jesse Watters of the world thought that she was their princess,” Hostin quipped. “And then all of the sudden, she decides to endorse a Democrat in Tennessee. She was in support of March for Our Lives against gun violence, she supported the LGBTQ community in her music videos.

And she said, ‘I’m pro-choice,’ and then she said, ‘And vote.’ They picked the wrong princess.” Sunny Hostin said she suspected that conservatives thought Swift’s penchant for country music early in her career meant she would align with their political ideals, and that they were ultimately turned off by her support for more liberal-leaning causes.

“I think the Jesse Watters of the world thought that she was their princess,” Hostin said. “She was in support of March for Our Lives against gun violence, she supported the LGBTQ community in her music videos, and then [she’s] pro-choice, and then she said [go] vote. They picked the wrong princess.”

“Im tired of dumb people. I’m just, I’m tired of it. I can’t handle it,” Goldberg said, before Hostin chimed in with a legal note from the Pentagon in which a spokesperson said the government was going to “shake it off” when it came to addressing the Fox News theory.
