Whoopi Goldberg was forced to reassure The View 's audience that they could cheer for Melania Trump during a recent episode. The odd moment occurred during Thursday's episode of The View , when the panel's guest Hillary Clinton dished some kind words to Donald Trump 's wife Melania Trump. Hillary, who made an appearance on the long-running ABC chat show to promote her new book Something Lost, Something Gained, opened up on the connection between women who have served in the First Lady role in the White House, including Melania.
The former First Lady recalled attending Rosalynn Carter’s funeral last year with Jill Biden , Michelle Obama , and Laura Bush when she admitted that she was surprised to see Melania when arrived . “I think it was a little scary. I say she looks like the kid on the outside of the birthday party, like, am I going to be accepted? Do I belong here?” Hillary said as she recalled seeing Melania at the funeral.
In an apparent gesture to make Melania feel welcome, Hillary said they quickly embraced her as she believed "it was a very positive thing for her to show up". However, when Hillary praised Melania for making the journey to Atlanta for the funeral, faint applause from the audience quickly came and went. This bizarre moment prompted panelist Whoopi to turn and address the audience where she ensured it was okay to clap for Melania.
"You can give her that," the Sister Act star asserted, as the crowd erupted into applause. Don't Miss: Miley Cyrus fac.
