'Where the hell were y’all': Whoopi unleashes profanity on GOP complaining about Ukraine after votes against funding

A shouting match broke out on "The View" Thursday when Whoopi Goldberg attacked Republicans for refusing to fight for Ukraine when Donald Trump held up aid in 2019.

"Where the hell were y'all," said Goldberg after showing a clip of Republicans posturing and praising Ukraine as even GOP voters' public opinion turns against Russia. She showed a clip of GOP members like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) all trashing Biden for his response to the crisis.

Arizona group wants the HRC to stop funding Kyrsten Sinema over filibuster of the Equality Act

It was just last month that the women's group EMILY's List pulled their support of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) after she and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) killed the Build Back Better bill. According to Politico, that might extend to the Human Rights Campaign next.

The bill would have been deficit-neutral, and funded free community college, help develop training programs for workers to get higher-skilled jobs and focused on affordable elder care. Another part of the bill would have extended the children's tax credit for 10 years and funded pre-K education, subsidized child care and contributed to help establish paid family leave and medical leave.
