Whoopi Goldberg Shuts Down Republican Outrage Over Beyoncé’s Grammy Win for Best Country Album: ‘She Earned It. People Voted for It. Sit Down!’


Whoopi Goldberg shut down republicans who are outraged by Beyonce winning the Grammy for best country album

Whoopi Goldberg passionately defended Beyoncé’s Grammy wins on “The View” (via Entertainment Weekly) after conservative figures expressed outrage over the singer winning such major categories as best country album with “Cowboy Carter,” which also took home the prize for album of the year. Conservative author Raymond Arroyo notably went on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” the night after the Grammys and ripped Beyoncé’s wins as a “ridiculous outcome.” Goldberg shut down Arroyo on “The View” the morning after, taking issue with his claim that Beyoncé won best country album and other Grammys because “Lady Gaga’s cat sitter votes for best reggae and best country albums.”
