The panelists of “The View” got heated on Thursday when guest host Will Cain said Russell Brand‘s critique of Fox News was part of a pattern of people being outraged over “words.”
“I think it’s part of this whole trend we have. We elevate words to the most harmful thing in society. How dare you say something that could offend somebody?” Cain said. “How dare you say something that hurts my feelings? Why have we gone to this place where words are the worst thing?”
“Because we have a history of utilizing words to harm people and hurt people and the people who have been on the other side of it, I think are at the point where they’re saying, this is not okay anymore,” Whoopi Goldberg said.
