Fox News Host Faces Backlash Over Insulting Whoopi Goldberg Remarks

Fox News host Julie Banderas faced criticism after making crude remarks about Whoopi Goldberg's motherhood and appearance in response to Goldberg's criticism of Donald Trump's proposed $5,000 baby bonus plan. During a segment on Outnumbered, Banderas sarcastically questioned Goldberg's ability to have children, despite Goldberg being a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Goldberg had called the proposed baby bonus out of touch, questioning its effectiveness in addressing the real costs and complexities of raising children. While Banderas later attempted to walk back her comments by saying she was joking, she continued to make disparaging remarks about Goldberg's parenting. The exchange highlighted tensions over policies aimed at increasing the U.S. birth rate and the personal attacks that can arise in political debate. The incident sparked backlash, with critics noting the factual inaccuracy of Banderas's comments and the unnecessary personal attacks.
