In her defense, I do have to give credit to Whoopi Goldberg for one thing. As most of you know, I have been very critical of Trump's liberal fiscal tendencies and his willingness to side with the Establishment in the past. I was very cynical of this 2024 election and have not been eager to take on another eight trillion in debt over the next four years. (I sincerely hope I am wrong in that). Anyway, I was going into this election determined to write in someone (likely Mo Brooks) or to vote third party. But with only a week or so to go, I finally heard that one comment that pushed me to change my mind and vote for Trump. And that comment came from Whoopi Goldberg.
Whoopi said that if Trump got elected, he was going to deport anyone in a mixed-race marriage. I immediately pictured my son and daughter-in-law and became angry that someone would try to frighten them with such utter nonsense about an election. It really pissed me off that someone would say this to my family, my precious son and daughter-in-law, lying so brazenly in order to frighten them to vote for Harris. And that was the moment when I shifted. That's the moment when I decided to abandon Mo Brooks and cast my vote for Donald Trump.
Thank you, Whoopi, for helping me make up my mind. That was one more vote that Trump got, all because of your pathetic lying fear-mongoring ass.
