Fox News host and judge Jeanine Pirro recently stopped by The View, and contrary to the Fox News host's political views, things went all the way left.
During a conversation about 45, Pirro accused the show's co-host Whoopi Goldberg of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome." Goldberg, who is no stranger to saying exactly how she feels, didn't take too kindly to the accusation.
“Did you just point at me? I don’t have Trump Derangement… let me tell you what I have. I am tired of people starting a conversation with 'Mexicans are liars and rapists…' Listen, I’m 62-years-old, there’ve been a lot of people in office that I haven’t agreed with, but I have never, ever seen anything like this,” Goldberg told her.
“I have never seen anybody whip up such hate. I’ve never seen anybody be so dismissive," the host continued. "And clearly you don’t watch the show, so you don’t know that I don’t suffer from that. What I suffer from is the inability to figure out how to fix this.”
“You know what’s horrible? When people who shouldn’t be here end up murdering the children of American citizens,” Pirro said.
Pirro's attempt to redeem her argument with the bigoted and baseless comment about undocumented immigrants was cut short when Goldberg let her know that the door is closed.
“What is horrible is when the president of the United States whips up people to beat the hell out of people,” she said. “Say goodbye! Goodbye! I’m done!”
The yelling match didn't stop there. According to Page Six, things got even more heated backstage. Sources say that behind the scenes, Pirro attempted to plead her case about how many victims she's helped in her career, but that further added fuel to the fire.
“Jeanine tried telling her she’s fought for victims her whole life," the report said. "That’s when 'Whoopi got in her face and said that they’ve known each other a long time, but still, ‘F**k you, get the f**k out of this building.’ Jeanine looked stunned."
According to People, we can credit some of the day's tension to Pirro's attitude upon arrival. Reports say she “walked into the studio ready for a fight because Ana [Navarro] was the guest co-host.” Navarro is a frequent CNN commentator.
Despite her feelings toward Pirro at that moment, Goldberg apologized to the audience for the blowup.
“You saw me do something I very rarely do… I very rarely lose my cool, and I’m not proud of it. I don’t like it," she said. "But I also don’t like being accused of being hysterical because that is one of the things I try not to be on this show.”
Pirro went back to her safe space at Fox and Friends claiming that what happened to her at The View was "abuse."
"I've been a prosecutor, judge, DA for 30 years. I've tried murder cases. I can go toe-to-toe with anybody, but that was abuse, and it was sad. It was a sad moment."@JudgeJeanine talks about her appearance on "The View." pic.twitter.com/lzQhR7evGo

Was it embarrassing for you? Sure. Abuse? Not so much. Then again, maybe Pirro is suffering from the side effects of “Trump Derangement Syndrome."
