Do we need to get him out? What do we need to do?\u2019 <strong>The reason they didn\u2019t go and take him out is because that would have been another 15, 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,<\/strong>\u201d she added.\u00a0[emphasis added]\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Goldberg then admitted that she believed Oscar producer Will Packer made the correct decision in allowing Smith to stay:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Goldberg said that Packer made \u201cthe right decision\u201d to let the show play out so that the situation could be dealt with later.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s all right there\u2026 And Whoopi is not some bystander. She sits on the Board of Governors, and she\u2019s telling everyone that Will Smith was allowed to remain in his seat after committing an assault because of his skin color.<\/p>\n<p>She also said that was the \u201cright decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Well, what a difference a few days makes\u2026 What\u2019s happening now is what I told you would happen Monday. The outrage has grown as people processed how indefensible, ugly, entitled, and outrageous Will Smith\u2019s assault was. And now, in the face of this growing outrage, especially against the Academy, Whoopi is changing her story.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what she <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2022\/03\/whoopi-goldberg-will-smith-oscar-slap-chris-rock-ejected-asked-to-leave-1234991745\/\">said<\/a> Thursday on <em>The View<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>After media reports came out today suggesting Oscar producers did not formally request that\u00a0Will Smith\u00a0leave the ceremony after slapping\u00a0Chris Rock, or at the least gave Smith mixed messages about the request, Academy\u2019s Board of Governors member\u00a0Whoopi Goldberg\u00a0insisted on today\u2019s\u00a0<em>The View<\/em>, \u201cHe actually was. He was asked to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n[\u2026]\n<p>When pressed by some of her\u00a0<em>View<\/em>\u00a0co-hosts as to why Smith was asked to leave rather than told to leave, she speculated about what that scenario would look like: \u201cThey come back from back from break, now if [Smith] is in some sort of state and he\u2019s struggling and you\u2019re trying to get him out the door and it\u2019s on camera.\u201d She added that Oscar producers and organizers even considered the possibility that Smith was having \u201ca manic moment, because that\u2019s not what he\u2019s known for, smacking people and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa\u2026 Which is it, Whoopi?<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Whoopi told us, \u201cThe reason they didn\u2019t\u201d remove Smith was skin color. Will Smith wasn\u2019t asked to leave because he\u2019s black.<\/p>\n<p>But now Whoopi\u2019s saying he was asked to leave (which we\u2019re now being told is a lie), and the reason no one pressed the issue is due to a concern about him being \u201cin some sort of state, and he\u2019s struggling, and you\u2019re trying to get him out the door, and it\u2019s on camera.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Which is it, Whoopi?<\/p>\n<p>In just two days, Whoopi went from, <em>It would be wrong to ask a black man to leave, so we didn\u2019t!<\/em> \u2014 to \u2014<em>We asked him to leave, but he refused, and we were worried he might freak out!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Those are two totally different stories, entirely different.<\/p>\n<p>This is what woke does to people\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Instead of basing your decisions and actions on right and wrong, you base them on meaningless horse shit like skin color.<\/p>\n<p>Will Smith committed a physical assault on live television, and he was not only told he could stay, 40 minutes later, he was handed an Oscar and given two standing ovations.<\/p>\n<p>What a disgrace.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whoopi Goldberg, who sits on the Motion Picture Academy\u2019s Board of Governors, is now changing her story about why Will Smith was not ejected from the Oscars after his unprovoked<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"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-1414990","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\/1414990","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\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1414990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1414990\/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=1414990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1414990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1414990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
