Whoopi Goldberg has thoughts about FBI Director Kash Patel.
“You put your dog in charge of the FBI, and they do a better job.”
This from a woman whose primary qualification is pretending to be a nun in movies from the 1990s. But sure, let’s hear her expert analysis on federal law enforcement leadership.
What’s actually revealing isn’t Whoopi’s insult. It’s what she and her co-hosts accidentally admitted while trying to attack Trump’s FBI pick.
The “Leaked Report” That Tells a Different Story
Co-host Sunny Hostin breathlessly cited a 115-page report leaked to the New York Post claiming Patel is “in over his head” and leading “a chronically underperforming agency that is now paralyzed by fear and plummeting morale.”
Let’s think about this for a moment.
Who wrote that report? FBI insiders. The same insiders who spent years weaponizing the agency against Trump. The same people who fabricated the Russia collusion hoax. The same officials who suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story. The same leadership that raided Mar-a-Lago.
Those people are experiencing “plummeting morale” because Kash Patel is holding them accountable?
Good. That’s the point.
“Paralyzed by Fear” — Of What, Exactly?
Think about that phrase: “paralyzed by fear.”
The FBI spent four years terrorizing Trump supporters. They sent SWAT teams to arrest elderly pro-life activists. They infiltrated parent groups concerned about school boards. They classified traditional Catholics as potential terrorists.
Now FBI agents are experiencing fear? Because their new director might hold them accountable for misconduct?
Welcome to how the rest of America has felt dealing with your agency for years.
The “No Senior Law Enforcement Experience” Lie
Hostin claimed Patel has “no senior law enforcement experience” to lead the FBI.
This is simply false.
Patel served as Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council. He was Deputy Assistant to the President. He worked as a terrorism prosecutor in the Justice Department’s National Security Division. He served on the House Intelligence Committee where he helped expose the Russia hoax.
He has extensive experience in counterterrorism, national security, and federal law enforcement operations. He just doesn’t have experience covering up FBI misconduct — which is apparently the “experience” that matters to The View.
What “Senior Experience” Actually Produced
Let’s look at what “senior law enforcement experience” gave us with previous FBI leadership.
James Comey: Leaked classified memos to the press, bungled the Clinton email investigation, and helped launch the Russia hoax.
Andrew McCabe: Fired for lying to investigators, referred for criminal prosecution (though never charged), and helped orchestrate surveillance of the Trump campaign.
Christopher Wray: Slow-walked document production to Congress, resisted oversight at every turn, and presided over the Mar-a-Lago raid.
That’s the “experience” Hostin wants. That’s the leadership model The View prefers. Credentialed insiders who protect the institution at the expense of the public it’s supposed to serve.
Whoopi’s Accidental Truth Bomb
Here’s the line that reveals everything:
“None of the people in charge know what the hell they’re doing. None of them know.”
She meant it as criticism of Trump’s appointees. But she accidentally described the entire federal bureaucracy under previous administrations.
For decades, credentialed “experts” have run these agencies into the ground. They’ve weaponized law enforcement. They’ve politicized intelligence. They’ve failed at their core missions while expanding their power.
Trump’s response? Put people in charge who will actually fix things rather than perpetuate the dysfunction.
That’s what terrifies The View. Not incompetence — accountability.
“We Can Vote People In and Out”
Whoopi closed with this:
“I just want to make sure that we know that we can vote people in and out. This is a thing.”
Yes, Whoopi. It is a thing. Americans voted. They chose Trump. Twice, actually — once in 2024 after watching exactly how the FBI behaved during his first term.
They voted knowing Kash Patel would likely lead the FBI. They voted knowing he would clean house. They voted because he would clean house.
Democracy worked. The View just doesn’t like the result.
The Real Reason They’re Panicking
Kash Patel represents something the permanent Washington establishment fears more than anything: genuine reform.
He knows where the bodies are buried. He exposed FBI misconduct during his time on the House Intelligence Committee. He has a list of people who need to be held accountable.
The “115-page report” from disgruntled insiders isn’t journalism. It’s self-preservation. People who abused their power are terrified that their new boss actually intends to do something about it.
Their morale is “plummeting” because they can’t operate with impunity anymore. Their agency is “paralyzed” because the old rules no longer apply.
That’s not a crisis. That’s the cure.
Whoopi Should Stick to Movies
Here’s a woman who defended Roman Polanski by claiming his rape of a 13-year-old “wasn’t rape-rape.”
Here’s a woman who thought the Holocaust wasn’t about race.
Here’s a woman whose qualifications for analyzing federal law enforcement consist entirely of playing pretend on camera.
And she’s lecturing America about who should run the FBI.
A dog would do a better job than her previous favorites — the ones who spied on a presidential campaign, lied to courts, and turned the FBI into the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party.
Kash Patel is cleaning up their mess. That’s why they’re howling.
