“Part of our problem is that the media takes the best clickbait,” the 68-year-old commented.

Whoopi explained, “So, you see the same posters or you see the same people, but you don’t see the people who are doing peaceful things and saying, ‘This is what we want to do.'”

“I would caution the media to be very careful about what they’re doing and how they’re handling it because it seems like what they’re doing is pushing a narrative that people are pushing against.” That’s what students are pushing against, which I’m thrilled to see because I love it when students get angry and say, ‘We want change,'” warned purple colour Actress.

Earlier in the show, Whoopi addressed her panel, saying, “Let’s be very clear about this, no one supports anti-Semitic hate speech, and students are fearing for their safety, but should they feel threatened by violence?” Have the right to protest peacefully?
