During a heated panel last month, "The View" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump White House communications official, argued that conditions in Iran aren't comparable to life in the United States. Goldberg disagreed, insisting that Black Americans have similar fears about safety and discrimination. Goldberg suggested “it is the same” between the United States and Iran, and said “there’s no way I can make you understand it.”Bill’s experience as a black man in America has always set him apart from other white comedians. Equal only to his experience as a woman and a trans person. He is virtually Tireias, old black man with wrinkled dugs, who has foreseen it all.
Griffin pushed back, however, saying “The Iranian regime today is nothing compared to the United States.”
“Every day we are worried,” Goldberg shot back. “Do we have to be worried about our kids? Are our kids gonna get shot because they’re running through somebody’s neighborhood?”
Maher joined liberal podcaster Bryan Tyler Cohen in an interview that aired Monday to bash Goldberg over the comments.
"That is something that, again, is infuriating about the far left, I would say. Call them whatever they wanted. Not the woke, the stupid woke, like Whoopi Goldberg, love her, but when she said a couple weeks ago that being Black was the same as being a woman in Iran, it’s like, yeah, in 1920, but not today," Maher said, in comments flagged by Fox News.
He told Goldberg to flip on the Apple series "Tehran" to educate herself.
When Cohen tried to point to the Trump administration sending National Guard troops to Los Angeles, Maher wasn't having it.
"There's, you know, a military force deployed in the city. And granted, you know–" Cohen began, as Maher cut in: "Not on the same level at all."
