Whoopi on "The View": Trump 'has enough accusers to know why' women didn't come forward

"The View" host Whoopi Goldberg on Friday blasted President Trump over his tweets attacking Christine Blasey Ford, the California professor who has accused his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
In remarks on the show Friday morning, Goldberg, who is a frequent critic of the president, noted that the number of women who have accused the president himself of similar groping or unwanted sexual conduct are evidence of why women are reluctant to come forward with reports of sexual abuse.
"He has enough accusers to know why people didn't come forward," Goldberg said, after reading Trump's tweets on-air. "He's heard it enough. We've heard this enough."
"Women don't want to come forward because of exactly what's happening" to Ford, Goldberg continues.
The host's comments came after the president issued his first attacks against Ford on Friday in a pair of tweets questioning why Ford did not report her alleged sexual assault at Kavanaugh's hands earlier.
