ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg suggests the SCOTUS ruling barring using race to draw congressional districts is "a step backwards" and about keeping black people from voting. She claims soon women won't be able to vote either:

"You know, this decision, we knew this was coming because they've been chipping away at this for a long time. The courts said, you know, there's no problem with race anymore and yet we're fighting every day talking about Project 2025.

We are seeing -- we know what's happening and it's happening -- it's going to start happening to women as well, because all these changes in voting where they're saying you can't use your married name, you got to go your birth certificate, so this is -- this is going to affect a lot of people.

Right now, it sounds like it's just affecting people of color. We know better. We knew this was coming, so this is meant to discourage you from voting. This is meant to make you feel like you don't have a voice. You do have a voice. Do not forget that.

But do you see it as a step backwards also?"

Using incendiary rhetoric that could endanger Justice Alito's life, Sunny Hostin claims he's trying to take away the rights of black people and women. She claims her kids now have fewer civil rights than her:

SUNNY HOSTIN: I think it's a huge step back. I mean the 1965 Voting Rights Act was the most important piece of legislation in United States history.

GOLDBERG: People died for that.

HOSTIN: Yes, actually Justice Kagan in her 48-page dissent said that it was the most important piece because it was borne of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers.

GOLDBERG: Yeah.

HOSTIN: She wrote that. And it has been gutted. People are saying, well, it hasn't really been gutted. It has been, and that is because the majority opinion was written by Samuel Alito, the same judge that wrote the decision that took away a lot of women's rights.

GOLDBERG: Uh-huh.

HOSTIN: Two key points, states can no longer use race as a factor in redistricting but states can use party politics, they can use party politics in redistricting.

JOY BEHAR: What does that mean?

HOSTIN: Meaning --

SARA HAINES: Draw the line based on Republican, Democrat --

HOSTIN: You can draw the line based on Republican and Democrat.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: It's okay to discriminate in that that case.

HOSTIN: It's okay to discriminate there.

Number two, the Voting Rights Act only protects against intentional discrimination. The problem with that is, I don't know about you but there aren't that many racists that say, 'hi, I'm a racist.' There aren't that many legislators that write in legislation, we are going to discriminate against black people. So, it's almost impossible to prove intentional discrimination. And that is why in my view this is gutted.

What is most troubling to me and I think you'll -- you and I, Whoopi, have discussed this, Alito argued that the vast social change has occurred throughout the country and particularly in the south indicating that racism no longer exists in this country.

I can tell you as a black woman that my father was born in 1949. He remembers segregated schools. He remembers second get grated water fountains, he remember that's couldn't -- that he did not have full civil rights. And he told me when I turned 40 years old that I was the first person in his family to enjoy full civil rights, and he is still alive today, and I am still alive today and I have been discriminated against. And now I have to tell my children that they have less civil rights than I did when I was born.

BEHAR: That's true.

HOSTIN: That is disgusting, despicable and I am devastated by this particular Supreme Court decision even though, Whoopi, we did know this was coming.

The View suggest Justice Clarence Thomas is a race traitor.
Liberal white woman Joy Behar, who once said Thomas and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) didn't know what it was like to be black in America, sparks the hate against the Justice:

BEHAR: Wait a second. What about Clarence Thomas? Didn't he stick up for his own?

GOLDBERG: No, he didn't. No.

HOSTIN: No, he did not. He is part of the majority here.

GOLDBERG: yeah.

CNN officials @AndrRoy and @mchancecnn caught celebrating regime at Iranian embassy in U.K. newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicho…

In a statement to NewsBusters, a CNN spokesperson defended Roy and Chance attending the party for the regime, saying: “Journalists attend different functions as part of normal work as an opportunity to speak with government officials whom they cover. The individuals photographed were there briefly for that reason and joined journalists from several different news outlets at this event.”

These are the questions we asked:

-Why was CNN attending an Iranian Embassy event to celebrate the creation of the Iranian regime that has murdered thousands of its own people?
-If they were there to cover it, why was no report apparently filed?
-Did Roy or Chance press the ambassador on the reports of slaughtered civilians?
-Did their connections with the Embassy play a role in CNN getting permission to operate in the country?

CNN's Pamela Brown announces she's been working on a "special project" warn against "Christian nationalism" and portrays them as a radicalized threat to the country.

She then launches into a report where she fears the assassination of Charlie Kirk uniting Christians and scoffs at the idea that Christians were being targeted with hate and violence:

PAMELA BROWN: Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and prominent Christian nationalist, was assassinated. It became a rallying call for those who believed in his message. (...) And it was a call to action.

MATTHEW TAYLOR (Georgetown University Center of Faith and Justice): Memorial service was one of the most potent examples of this shift in our culture that we're experiencing right now, where a large segment of American Christians are being activated by these ideas, radicalized by these ideas that say that they are the persecuted ones and that they need to stand up for Christians rights.

The tease for Brown' "special project" to demonize American Christians continued with her expressing fear that "Kirk's death happened at a moment of unprecedented alignment between Christian nationalists and the Trump administration."

Taylor decried that Trump administration said that they intended to "protect Christians" from violence and people wishing to kill them.

Attempting to draw terrifying parallels, Brown warns that Trump thinks God saved him during the assassination attempt against him: "Trump has never explicitly said he believes the country should be a Christian nation, but he is aligned with Christian nationalists and wants their support and after an assassination attempt during his campaign, Trump said he believes god saved his life so he can lead the country."

Pamela Brown released another tease of her Christian bashing documentary for CNN. This time, she clutches her pearls over Christian woman choosing to be stay at home moms and families comporting to traditional gender roles:

"Well, pastor [Doug] Wilson leads a growing network of conservative Christian churches and preaches a strict biblical interpretation of various issues. His followers are taught to follow specific gender roles, where wives submit to their husbands and make being a mother and homemaker their primary role, while the husband acts as the head of the household and makes the executive decisions for the family.

For my upcoming documentary, I embedded with a tight knit conservative church community in southeast Texas that belongs to Wilson's network of churches. The women there told me they're flourishing in their role as submissive wives.

(...)

Sierra McIlwain left her combat role in the Army to undertake a life of submission to her husband, Andrew, a little over a year ago.

CNN highlights a woman who they label as "disabled woman dragged out of her car and arrested by ICE," as if she was an innocent bystander. But the woman is Aliya Rahman, a fellow at a leftist activist group with a long history in progressive "racial and criminal justice campaigns" including targeting law enforcement, according to her page on New America.
CNN was trying to pass off an entrenched liberal activist as just an average Joe swept up by ICE.

On her employment page for New America (a far-eft organization), they tout how she has "a background in legislative, electoral, and community organizing for racial and criminal justice campaigns, fifteen years of software development for the social justice movement..."

Additionally, "She is also is the former Field Director of Equality Ohio, where she built a statewide field program focused on bridging gaps between racial justice organizers, LGBT rights groups, and labor."

CNN follows up by giving the 'conservatives pounce' treatment to the story of the leftist mob invading a church to assail parishioners on Sunday:
"[Y]ou're almost surely seeing exclusively on conservative media and in conservative algorithms is something else that happened in Minneapolis yesterday. There was a church service where protesters made a point of going to this church service and using that as a staging area for, you know, making their, um, the fact that they're not happy with ICE, known."

WATCH CNN LIE
CNN "journalists" parrot each other as they falsely claim Natasha Bertrand's initial reporting the Iran strike leak included the facts that it was a "low confidence" and "preliminary" report.
Kate Bolduan proclaims: "...about it being low confidence. CNN reported on all of on all of this. I was looking back just to make sure that we had it. All throughout the reporting process, CNN had reported that it is preliminary..."
"It's in there," Sara Sidner smugly added.
NO IT WAS NOT, as this thread will prove.

Using the Wayback Machine, you can see that the initial report pushed by Bertrand on Tuesday does not have the words "low confidence" nor "preliminary."

The only times the word "low" is even used was White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt telling CNN the leak came from "an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community," and the assertion that the bombs "would likely not successfully penetrate Isfahan’s lower levels."

web.archive.org/web/2025062419…

Those words don't appear in any version of the article until Wednesday afternoon when they quote Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's criticisms of the assessment: "Hegseth, who is also at the NATO summit, said Wednesday the assessment was 'a top secret report; it was preliminary; it was low confidence;' adding that there were political motives behind leaking it and that an FBI investigation was underway to identify the leaker."

The View's ABC chief Washington correspondent Jon Karl to keep the liberal ladies on the rails while they discuss the U.S's strikes on Iran.
Moderator Joy Behar huffs about Trump not waiting 2 weeks.
Karl notes that it was a "head fake" and that the Iranians "were not engaging at all" with peace talks.

Behar serious questions why Trump didn't tell the Iranians he was going to bomb their nuclear weapons enrichment facility:

Behar: So, why did he keep it a secret for the surprise version?

Fake Republican Ana Navarro tries to compare Trump to George W. Bush and WMDs in Iraq; "Based on wrong information or lies."

Karl explains that Iran was already well on their way to having the fuel to power their nuclear weapons. (Hence the enrichment debate).

Adding: "By the way, I've been covering the Iran nuclear threat, I hate to say it, for literally two decades. And during much of that time the sense is that Iran was months away from having a bomb."
