<p>Whoopi Goldberg said on Tuesday that Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker was essentially a token, claiming that the Republican Party had only nominated him because they needed to have a black candidate in the race.</p>
<p>Goldberg made the comments during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show &#8220;The View,&#8221; arguing that the only possible explanation for Walker&#8217;s nomination was that the party believed they needed to put forth someone with the right skin color.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Whoopi suggests the only reason Herschel Walker got the GOP nomination was that he was hand-picked for his skin color.<br />&quot;They just said, &#39;get someone black in there&#39; &#8230; And that&#39;s what they did.&quot;<br />Sunny adds: &quot;I feel that that&#39;s incredibly insulting to African American voters.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/vQyA2hW65F">pic.twitter.com/vQyA2hW65F</a></p>

<p>Co-host Ana Navarro, who was hired to be one of the show&#8217;s Republican voices, was the first to tear into the Trump-endorsed Georgia Republican.</p>
<p>&#8220;What we learned with Trump is that there are people who will vote for the party over sanity, over country, over morals, over values, over religion, over truth, over rationale,&#8221; Navarro began.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, that&#8217;s how he got in,&#8221; Goldberg agreed.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just can&#8217;t believe that&#8217;s the best that Republicans have to offer,&#8221; Sunny Hostin said, adding that she had a legal note to read, but Goldberg interrupted and continued to talk over her.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not the best they have to offer, but it&#8217;s all they&#8217;re giving, and that should tell you something,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;They didn&#8217;t even try to find somebody who was — at least had the idea of how to take care of the people of Georgia. They just said, &#8216;Oh, get somebody black in there &#8230; who do you know? Oh, yeah, get him.&#8217; And that&#8217;s what they did.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s what it feels like,&#8221; Hostin agreed.</p>
<p>&#8220;How else can you explain it?&#8221; Whoopi asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel that that&#8217;s incredibly insulting to African American voters,&#8221; Hostin added.</p>
<p>Goldberg insisted that Walker had only won his primary because former President Donald Trump had backed him — and her co-hosts nodded and voiced their approval of her assessment. She then turned to Hostin, directing her to read her previously mentioned legal note before the show&#8217;s producers &#8220;lose their minds.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">In The View&#39;s first legal note of this season, Sunny is forced to give Walker&#39;s comments about the allegations against him.<br />Whoopi leads in my whining that the ABC standards and practices team was about to &quot;lose their minds.&quot;<br />&quot;I hope that helps,&quot; Whoopi chides. <a href="https://t.co/IwXa2he3aE">pic.twitter.com/IwXa2he3aE</a></p>

<p>Hostin read the note in monotone, acknowledging that Walker had responded to allegations made by his ex-wife by saying that he was &#8220;always accountable&#8221; for whatever he had done and that through therapy, he had been able to make changes in his life. He also denied allegations made against him by other women.</p>
<p>&#8220;I hope that helps,&#8221; Goldberg said in sarcastic tones as the show went to a commercial break.</p>
