I understand he had a break at that point. Even his mother acknowledged he went off. You can\u2019t selectively decide who gets consequences and who doesn\u2019t. I think at that point, he should have been removed, and he should have been taken out. I\u2019m not saying arrested, just removed from the building, removed from the auditorium, spoken to.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Goldberg, \u201cThe reason no one got up to go comfort Chris is because they weren\u2019t going to let anybody else on the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cI\u2019m going to tell you the rest of it. Let me finish with this part. They weren\u2019t going to let anybody go back. There were people there for Chris. Everybody is aware. The reason people got up and went over to him is because I think a lot of people thought, Oh my God, is he having a break? And so do we need to get him out? What do we need to do? And the reason they didn\u2019t go and take him out is because that would have been another 15 \u2014 20 minute explanation of why we\u2019re taking the Black man out five seconds before they\u2019re about to decide whether he\u2019s won an Oscar or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg added, \u201cSo that\u2019s, and I\u2019m going to say I believe Will Packer made the right decision. He said, let\u2019s get through the rest of this so we can deal with it wholeheartedly. So that\u2019s what went on. This is not the first time craziness has happened on stage, but this is the first time we\u2019ve seen anybody assault anybody on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View\u201d that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did not want to explain \u201ctaking a black man out.\u201d Therefore,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1407801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1407801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1407801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1407801\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1407801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1407801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1407801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
