Whoopi Goldberg: Racists Like Elise Stefanik And Tucker Carlson Are Allowed To Hide Behind The First Amendment But "We Recognize The Code" -…

Newsbusters' Nicholas Fondacaro highlighted this moment where the ladies of ABC's 'The View' tell House Republican Conference leader Rep. Elise Stefanik to resign: "We're warning you because it's only going to get worse! Quit now!"

"Being black this long, Im aware! I know it's code! I know. We recognize it," Whoopi Goldberg said.

Whoopi Goldberg said: "It's been around for quite some time. It's now upfront. It's no longer me saying, 'hey, does that rub anybody else the wrong way?' It's real. White people see it, black people see it. You gotta fix it. We gotta go."

SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah. You know, I think to Ana's point, we need to point fingers, and we had Elise Stefanik whose spokesperson also said -- it was a senior adviser for Elise Stefanik -- I have a legal note. A senior adviser for Representative Elise Stefanik said in a statement that, despite sickening and false reporting, the Congresswoman has never advocated for any racist positions.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Ohh, not true!

BEHAR: Oh, please!

ANA NAVARRO: Its in writing! We have the receipts! You paid for them!

HOSTIN: Fox News as said that Tucker Carlson wasn't endorsing the white replacement theory, but instead making an argument about voting rights. That's my legal notes. But let me say this very quickly, what he did was he politicized race theory. He politicized it. So, he's saying that Democrats are replacing native-born Americans with immigrant voters.

GOLDBERG: A lot of the Democrats are American voters. What are you talking about, Tucker?

HOSTIN: Its replacement theory. It's code, and we hear him and we know it.

GOLDBERG: Being black this long, Im aware! I know it's code! I know. We recognize it!

HOSTIN: So, they should be allowed to hide behind that!

GOLDBERG: But they are. Because they're allowed to hide behind the First Amendment.

HOSTIN: But they shouldn't be allowed to hide their hateful, racist rhetoric, and to Ana's point, we need to be able to point it out.

SARA HAINES: But Sunny, theyre not hiding.

BEHAR: Lets not forget where this started. It started with birtherism. I mean, it's been in the country --

GOLDBERG: It's been here for many years.

BEHAR: But it got exacerbated with Trump starting with birtherism, and then that Charlottesville March. Jews will not replace us. You remember that? It all sort of came from then, and it's gotten worse and worse and worse.

GOLDBERG: It's been around for quite some time. It's now upfront. It's no longer me saying, hey, does that rub anybody else the wrong way? It's real.

HOSTIN: But you have people like Elise saying, but I'm not racist. I'm not pushing it.

BEHAR: She's a liar! She's a liar!
