Whoopi Goldberg Defends Tearing Down Statues of Abraham Lincoln

EXCERPT:

GOLDBERG: "Well, that statue was not good enough, because it showed a slave down at Lincoln's feet. And if we're tearing down statues that are really not in tune with where we are as a nation, or at least where we were a couple of months ago, yeah, you got to take it down. That's why they've removed stuff. That's why people are moving stuff around. And this idea of woke, I'm going to say it again, mostly of you all were asleep."
BEHAR: "Who are you speaking -- speaking to?"
GOLDBERG: "I'm talking to all those folks --
BEHAR: "Why did you say all."
GOLDBERG: "-- that use that word --"
BEHAR: "OK."
GOLDBERG: "-- 'woke,' all the time."
BEHAR: "All right. All right."
GOLDBERG: "You all were asleep.”
