Controversial Comments on ‘The View’
On Thursday’s episode of “The View,” Goldberg blamed grocery store owners for rising food prices, saying, “Your pocketbook is bad, not because the Bidens did anything. Not because the economy is bad. Your grocery bills are what they are because the folks that own the groceries are pigs.” Her remarks were made a day after Donald Trump emphasized inflation issues in his presidential campaign.
