Page 4 Talking with Judge Jeannine Pint about Liars, Liberals and Leakers The Queens Gazette (New York) September 5, 2018 government within a government, that, Pirro contends, has conspired to undermine the Trump presidency. These high ranking anti- Trump officials named in "Liars, Leakers and Liberals" include Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, former Head of the FBI James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA chief John Brennan. Her comments, I understood, about these other Trump haters would have to wait for (hopefully) another interview. But there was one person whom I knew I had to ask her about before we hung up the phone. That person, unless you had been living on another planet since July 19th 2018, you would probably have already guessed, is named Whoopi Goldberg, one of the five co- hosts of the ABC afternoon television live talk show, "The View". As the former judge and I rehashed, it was on that day that Pirro, appearing as a guest on the show and Goldberg, a self- announced Trump hater, engaged in a fierce debate concerning the President. As that debate devolved into a mutual shouting match, Goldberg told Pirro and her own stunned colleagues " Say goodbye. I'm done" and walked off the stage. The battle, though, was to continue. Encountering Pirro backstage after the show ended, Goldberg reportedly shouted, " F_ k you, get the f k out of this building." Anticipating the question I would ask about her confrontation with Goldberg, which has since been watched on television and over the Internet by hundreds of millions of people throughout America and Europe, Pirro stated, "So you want me to tell you about my feelings about Whoopi Goldberg and how she treated me on her show. Let me paraphrase what I already said on my own show Sean's {Hannity} and others: Goldberg's mistreatment of me that day for my respect and admiration for President Trump and for my documenting his tremendous accomplishments with the economy and foreign affairs just proves that, Goldberg, like most other liberals, hates President Donald J. Trump far more than she loves the millions upon millions of Americans whose lives, after just 19 months in office, he already has so greatly improved." I must confess that even as Pirro was kindly wishing me well as the interview concluded, I was thinking about questions I still wanted to ask her, and, yes, planning how I might be able to arrange a follow-up interview with the good judge, who has become America's most well- known and toughest critic of liberals, liars and leakers.
