THE VIEW’s Whoopi Goldberg has been left stunned as the panelists discussed the recent scandal surrounding Herschel Walker.
After the women listened back to an interview with the Georgia Senate candidate, moderator Whoopi, 66, was lost for words.

Thursday’s show saw The View’s hosts reflect on an interview from The Hugh Hewitt Show in which Herschel, 60, denied that he paid a woman he was dating in 2009 to have an abortion after he allegedly impregnated her with his baby.
After the clip was played, the cameras cut straight back to Whoopi, who had a hilariously confused look on her face.
Her panelists and the studio audience were in hysterics over the actress’ reaction.
The camera then cut over to co-host Sunny Hostin, 53, who looked similarly dumbfounded.
After moving her lips but failing to get the words out several times, Whoopi finally broke her silence to ask: “What did he just say?”
Stammering, she continued: “Is he saying that he didn’t… it never happened? And that it’s untrue, and then it was untrue again.. except there’s a baby.”
“She’s like ’But I’m the mother of one of your other children,’” pointed out Sunny, referring to the anonymous mom in Herschel’s scandal.
But Whoopi threw her hands up as she asked with a bewildered expression: “But didn’t he say he doesn’t know who that is?”

She held up her palm to the audience, claiming: “I’m confused. He’s confused. I’m sorry.”
CAUSE FOR JOY
Whoopi’s usual co-host Joy Behar was absent from the discussion as she was missing from The View all week.
On Friday, Whoopi finally revealed that the long-time panelist was absent because she was celebrating her 80th birthday.
“And we will have plenty of celebrating once she gets back here next week,” Whoopi shared.
“But… we had to say it because she hates it when we do,” she added with a smile.
DROPPED THE BOMB
Viewers were shocked on Friday as the Emmy Award winner and co were joined by Hocus Pocus 2 star Kathy Najimy, who dropped an F-bomb during a heated discussion on reproductive rights.
While Joy was out for the week, host Ana Navarro filled in.
The View airs weekdays on ABC at 11 a.m.
