"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg slammed former President Trump after he called the talk show "stupid" and then suggested that she's "really dumb."
“As I watch that stupid "View," where you have these really dumb people,” Trump told a crowd of supporters Wednesday, “You know, Whoopi Goldberg said, would you participate in a movie? She made some movie on basketball. This is before I ran for politics."
"She said, ‘You’re so great. If you ever ran for president you’d win'... Politics can do strange things to demented people," he continued, referencing a time when Goldberg worked as a comedian at his resort in New Jersey.
Trump added later, I’m not particularly shy about what I hear ... her mouth was so foul. She was so filthy, dirty, disgusting. Half the place left. I said I’d never hire again."
Goldberg was quick to snap back at the comments on Thursday's episode of the ABC program.
"How dumb are you?" she questioned the former president, claiming he hired her several times. "You hired me four times, and you didn't know what you were getting?"
She added that she would have continued working at Trump Plaza had he not "run it into the ground."
Sunny Hostin, one of her co-hosts, also added her thoughts, thanking the former president for giving the moderators "material" for their show.
"I have a personal legal note. Donald Trump, I want to thank you for personally telling so many lies and committing so many alleged crimes and providing us with material on a daily basis," Hostin said Thursday. "You help us do our jobs, and I'm so appreciative."
Trump's criticism comes on the heels of his Democratic rival Vice President Harris joining the show earlier this week.
The Hill has contacted the Trump campaign for comment.
