Whoopi Goldberg Says SI Bakery Refused Her Service Due to Liberal Views [View all]

Source: La Voce di New York

Whoopi Goldberg alleged a Staten Island bakery denied her service because they disagreed with her left-leaning political views during an episode of “The View” this week, while the owner of the business later asserted it was due to mechanical issues.

As Goldberg and her co-hosts celebrated her 69th birthday during Wednesday’s episode with desserts from the bakery, she shared with the audience that her order had almost fallen through because of their objection to her liberal stances.

“They said that their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff, but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them,” said Goldberg. She continued that her order was rejected because “they did not like my politics.”

Remaining outspoken in her political views, Goldberg has not spoken the name of Donald Trump on air since he was elected.

Living in Staten Island, this story is all over the news here. Holtermann’s statement:

“I said to Whoopi, ‘I can’t do it right now’,” Holtermann told the outlet. “We have so many things going on with my boiler.” She added, “I didn’t want to make a commitment that I can’t carry through.”

Holtermann confirmed that she ultimately was able to make the 50 treats Goldberg ordered, which were picked up early Wednesday morning for “The View’s” taping.
