Here is Whoopi in her comorbid unglory:
“I swear to God if I hear another Republican senator talk about their heart being broken, I’m going to punch somebody,” Whoopi says — and Joy claims it’s “gaslighting” to say “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” pic.twitter.com/fQAlFJlPm5

The folks over at Patriot Fetch narrated the entire absurd chain of events:
“Goldberg was talking about how she’s tired of hearing politicians give “thoughts and prayers” and she specifically mentioned Republicans during her response to the shooting tragedy.
She used a video clip of Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) calling for gun control within hours of the shooting — and he ended his emotional speech with a question, saying “what are we doing?”
So that’s the question. What are we doing? Because we’re – why are we always at square one with this? And I swear to God, if I see another Republican senator talk about their heart being broken, I’m going to punch somebody.”
“I can’t take any — thoughts and prayers. If your thoughts and prayers really were with everybody, you would have done something by now,” Goldberg insisted, adding, “What the hell is going on?””
As if one brainless hyena weren’t enough, Goldberg’s irredeemable colleague, the mean, angry, and bitter Joy Behar wanted a piece of the action, too. Patriot Fetch once again had the scoop:
“Joy Behar chimed in asking for people to stop gaslighting her and commented on mental illness.
Joy said: “I want them to stop gaslighting me also… Stop saying it’s not guns that kill people. It’s people that kill people. It’s guns that kill people, okay? Stop saying the opposite… There’s mental illness in every country in the world, and they don’t have this problem. So stop gaslighting me on that one, and stop saying that you can have a good guy stop a bad guy with a gun… We have seen in both of these shootings in the past three weeks that a good guy tried and could not do it.””
People often talk about uniting this nation, but if this conversation proves anything, it’s that there is no longer a tenable middle ground. Whoopi is tired of talking and wants violence. Behar thinks we are gaslighting her with facts. There is no coming back. Just as with any marriage that has run its course, while not preferable, sometimes both parties are better off with a divorce. America, for the sake of everyone, needs to split.
