Whoopi Goldberg has no time for Travis Kelce "liking" an Instagram post supportive of Donald Trump.
On the Tuesday, April 16, episode of The View, Goldberg made her opinion — and literally, her boredom of the topic — known.
"NFL star and Taylor Swift's gentleman caller, Travis Kelce, just sparked a lot of outrage online apparently, after he 'liked' a social media post that featured multiple photos of you-know-who," Goldberg explained to the audience. (Kelce came under fire over the past few days after "liking" former ESPN host Sage Steele's Instagram post of her posing for pictures and shaking hands with Trump.)
After Goldberg admitted she's "not sure what's going on," her cohosts filled her in, offering their perspectives as well. The majority of her colleagues — Joy Behar, Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin — held tightly to the belief that just because Kelce "liked" the post, didn't mean it was an endorsement of trump. Sunny Hostin, meanwhile, thought it was an "accidental 'like'" on Kelce's part.
After each cohost went through their own theories, they quickly took notice that Goldberg wasn't taking part in the discussion, instead resting her head in her hand. The EGOT winners colleagues joked that Goldberg was "bored."
"I am [bored]. It's quite possible that none of this is important," she said, while the audience applauded and cheered. The reason for the crowd's excitement, Goldberg claimed, was "'cause they got bills to pay. Why are you all upset about what he's doing? He's not paying your rent. He don't care what you think!" she said to the camera.
Kelce, for his part, has yet to comment on the "like" — and making even more headlines while dancing and partying with girlfriend Taylor Swift at Coachella over the weekend.
Dozens of videos of the couple hit social media during Coachella weekend 1, showing Kelce cradling Swift in his arms while they swayed back and forth and sang in the crowd.
