<p>&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Whoopi Goldberg suggested that all of the Republicans who <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-dem-controlled-senate-passes-same-sex-marriage-bill-12-republicans-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted in favor</a> of the so-called <a href="https://editorial.dailywire.com/news/dem-controlled-house-passes-same-sex-marriage-bill-39-republicans-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Respect for Marriage Act</a> may have done so at the stern behest of a friend — or &#8220;perhaps a lover.&#8221;</p>
<p>During Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of the long-running ABC midday talk show, Goldberg and her co-hosts discussed the legislation — which President Joe Biden signed into law on Tuesday in a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-signs-same-sex-marriage-bill-drag-queens-invited-to-lavish-wh-ceremony/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lavish ceremony</a> that included drag queens, among others.</p>

<p>Co-host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/that-really-makes-me-nuts-joy-behar-ties-colorado-springs-shooting-to-lauren-boeberts-2021-christmas-photo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> was first to address the topic, and she complained about the Republicans who had not voted to federally codify same-sex marriage. She asked whether those same people have also been opposed to interracial marriage, which was also federally protected under the new law.</p>
<p>&#8220;Does that mean that these Republicans who are against the gay marriage bill are also against interracial marriage?&#8221; she asked, and her co-hosts all began talking at once.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, it&#8217;s not that,&#8221; Republican co-host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/thats-not-fairsuch-a-cheap-shot-the-view-blows-up-as-alyssa-farah-griffin-and-kellyanne-conway-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alyssa Farah Griffin</a> cut in, adding in exaggerated tones. &#8220;It&#8217;s the fear of like polyamory or, like, you&#8217;re going to marry a relative &#8230; I mean, I think.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That must be the slippery slope. Bestiality? Is that what they&#8217;re thinking?&#8221; co-host Sunny Hostin asked, prompting loud laughter from the audience.</p>
<p>Griffin went on to argue that straight couples were more likely to damage traditional marriage than same-sex couples were, and Goldberg promptly agreed: &#8220;That&#8217;s the biggest threat.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Anytime somebody decides that they want to get married, celebrate them,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/let-me-explain-something-exasperated-whoopi-lectures-joni-ernst-says-iowa-is-too-white-to-lead-primaries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldberg</a> insisted, going on to claim that putting rules on marriage was like &#8220;giving the finger&#8221; to same-sex couples who were already married.</p>
<p>&#8220;And I suspect many of these folks voted the way they did because somebody they know said, &#8216;If you don&#8217;t vote this way, I&#8217;ll never speak to you again,'&#8221; Goldberg concluded, apparently suggesting that some Republicans may have only voted in favor of the measure under duress. &#8220;Perhaps a lover? Maybe a friend.&#8221;</p>
<p>Across both legislative chambers, a total of 51 Republicans voted to pass the Respect for Marriage Act — 39 of them in the House of Representatives and 12 in the Senate.</p>
