On Tuesday, #SueThe View trended on Twitter after co-host Whoopi Goldberg
smeared TPUSA, insisting that the conservative organization had let neo-Nazis
into their event in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday. She later attempted to
backtrack, offering a "quick clarification" to note that the neo-Nazis were
"outside protesters."

TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk said the group was considering legal action
against the show.

Talking to lawyers. Many think we have a strong case. You cannot
smear minors as Nazis and get away with it. It impacts them for
the rest of their life. #SueTheView

"The View" co-host Sara Haines prompted Goldberg's remarks by announcing,
"I've got a legal note. The conservative group Turning Point USA has
condemned the group of neo-Nazis and said they have nothing to do with the
organization."

Co-host Joy Behar took the opportunity to target Florida GOP governor Ron
DeSantis, mocking, "Yeah, but where was DeSantis is what I want to know?"

Goldberg then targeted TPUSA, charging, "But you let them in. You let them in
and you knew what they were. So you are complicit."

After a commercial break, apparently apprised that she had better backtrack,
Goldberg stated, "I want to make a quick clarification about the neo-Nazis at
the Turning Point event: they were outside protesters."

But then she insisted, "My point was more metaphorical, that you embrace them
at your thing, I felt. So I just -- they were not in the building. ... They
were not in the building; they were in the mix of people at the thing."

While they were forced by their legal department to correct two of
these misrepresentations live on air, Whoopi continued to insist
that TPUSA somehow welcomed "nazis" into our event "metaphorically."

TPUSA tweeted, "After a group of Antifa and left wing protesters showed up,
predictably, to protest our event, they eventually dispersed, then minutes
later these 'nazis' appeared. Who are these people? We have no idea, and ABC
and other news media aren't curious enough to find out."

"TPUSA students confronted and argued with these individuals," the
organization continued. "Our security attempted to remove the 'nazis' but
were unable to intervene because they were standing on the public sidewalk.
TPUSA students ultimately left the scene, at which point these individuals
dispersed."

The neo-Nazis brandished anti-Semitic material and a sign emblazoned
"DeSantis Country" in an apparent attempt to smear him by linking him to
their rhetoric.

The organization released a statement declaring, "Turning Point USA 100%
condemns those ideologies in the strongest of terms." They pointed out that
the individuals were located on public property, thus TPUSA's security could
not physically remove them, and that TPUSA students initially confronted the
group but then left.

I love #SueTheView. It rhymes and everything. Plus, The View is the
most disgusting show on network television. Truly hideous women who
know nothing and are proud of themselves for it.

As well they should - if anybody holds a public event it goes without
saying that some folks you'd prefer stay home might well turn up.

This isn't confined to politics of course - the Miami Dolphins could
admit secret neo-Nazis to their game - or worse <gasp> supporters of
the Cowboys!

I hope they lawyer up fast and make them pay - maybe then these folks
will get the idea that wild accusations do have consequences.

How many people were at this event? And how much time did the
gatekeepers have to vet each one? Whoopi - you're so up to your ears
in kaka you'll be showering for the next decade!

Nice try but to me worthless talk like that compounds her offence.

Metaphorically doesn't enter into libel law - your words mean what a
normal rational adult would take them to mean. It's not as if anybody
thought she was engaging in satire...
