'I didn't say it!' Whoopi Goldberg in full denial as phones blow up about on-air curse

Whoopi Goldberg said she caught herself before dropping a swear word live during "The View" on Thursday.

The co-hosts were discussing their upcoming interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), an extreme conservative who has shocked by recently landing on the left side of issues like food security and affordable healthcare.

They showed a clip of another conservative, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) echoing Democratic sentiment that "no child should go to bed hungry."

"People in Washington are starting to say, 'My constituents,'" said Goldberg about lawmakers. "They're starting to remember why they're there. Because you don't get there without people putting you there and remembering that those same people can pull you out of there."

"I don't know how many things we agree on, but I know the one thing that she and I and all of us at this table agree on is this should not be affecting the American people. These are decisions that you don't have the right to .... up," Goldberg said, mouthing a word that can't be broadcast while partially covering her mouth.

After the commercial break, Goldberg immediately addressed the non-comment after a major response online and phone.

"Just so we're all clear, our people just got a call saying, 'Whoopi just said a bad word! Do you have a comment?' I didn't say the bad word. I did not say it," Goldberg said, coming back from a commercial.

"She just thought it," Joy Behar quipped.

"Oh, yes, I did," Goldberg admitted. "I know you're waiting for something to happen. Could you just watch the show? I'd appreciate if you'd just watch the show and then you'll know what really went on and do play it back the 50 times that you're going to do. Let's be realistic."

"The complaint came from a viewer?" Behar asked.

"No, from our fans who sit and wait for something to report on the. So I just have to clean that up for them," Goldberg said.
