“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg tried to spin Joe Biden’s classified documents scandal by speculating he declassified all the documents when he was vice president.
Goldberg’s unhinged attempt at painting Biden in a good light despite the unfolding scandal is more evidence of how the media should not be trusted.
As Newsbusters reported:
With a fifth batch of classified documents being found in President Biden’s Delaware residence by the FBI, with some dating back to his time as a U.S. senator, ABC’s Whoopi Goldberg was exceptionally desperate in trying to protect the President from himself. She kicked off Monday’s edition of The View by asserting that Biden had declassified all the documents at his house, something not even the White House has claimed, and wanted everyone to calm down.
“Presidents and vice presidents can declassify these. Not with their brains,” she declared, mocking former President Trump, and making the same argument on Biden’s behalf.
“You have to go — there is something that you go through before it’s declassified.”
The outlet continued:
Without evidence of Biden’s supposed declassification of the documents in question, Goldberg argued that former President Obama gave Biden the authority to declassify. She also whined about people getting bent out of shape about Biden possessing classified documents when he wasn’t allowed to…
Whoopi’s argument is basically, if Biden did it, it’s ok, and whatever Trump does is bad.
Watch
Whoopi suggests Biden declassified all the documents at his house, so people need to calm down.

Whoopi also got some pushback after Whoopi Goldberg tried to spin classified document scandal.
Alyssa Farah Griffin points out the hypocrisy in Whoopi's argument:

"It has to be true for Trump and for Biden. So for President Biden to be able to declassify something, there has to be evidence he did in fact declassify it."
And they point out Biden hasn't even claimed that. pic.twitter.com/v439fJqUJL
Whoopi didn’t like that at all:
Whoopi snaps at Alyssa for saying "he had these [documents] wrongly in the first place."

"We don't know he had them [wrongly]," she proclaimed despite all the controversy, FBI searches, and stonewalling from the administration. pic.twitter.com/4y5u1GFGYa

No way is this headline true because nobody who watches The View has an IQ point to begin with.
