Whoopi Goldberg accused President Donald Trump of keeping his middle finger up at the Black community amid his false claims of a white genocide in South Africa.

On this morning’s episode of The View, the ladies dissected Trump’s contentious meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa, during which he confronted Ramaphosa about an alleged persecution of white farmers that has resulted in him fast-tracking the processing of white South Afrikaners to the United States.

“There’s no white genocide. There’s not a genocide happening. There is crime, as there is all over the world. But it’s not about killing off white people. This is just straight —,” Goldberg said as the audio cut out. However, she stopped herself before she could finish her sentence with the word “bullshit.”

“That was gas,” she joked when the sound returned.

Goldberg not only called out Trump’s conspiracies about a “white genocide” in South Africa, but she also put him on blast for going against the Constitution by accepting a luxury jet from Qatar.

“He’s not supposed to have it. I have the Constitution right here,” she said as she pulled out her copy of the Constitution. “You’re not supposed to have the plane!”

The longtime moderator also seemed to address an alleged request from ABC executives to “tone down” The View’s anti-Trump rhetoric by focusing less on political segments and more on pop culture coverage, which was first reported by The Daily Beast.

“People always want us to be respectful and talk about the stuff we talk about. We can do all of that,” she said. “But when you are blatantly giving the country the middle finger, that is blatant. You’re not supposed to do that! You’re not supposed to take the plane!”

Joy Behar then asked, “Don’t you think when he lets these white Africans in, that’s giving the middle finger to the Black community?” to which Goldberg replied, “No, I don’t. Let me tell you why. I don’t think so because that finger has never gone down.”
