Whoopi Goldberg is clapping back at former President Donald Trump for calling her "dirty" and her fellow "The View" colleagues "dumb."
On Thursday's episode of the "The View," the five main panelists walked out to "Dirrty" by Christina Aguilara in a diss to their frequent foe, who was displeased by the show's Tuesday interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
"So, we walked out to 'Dirrty' by Christina Aguilera, because it's one of the words that You-Know-Who used when he was talking about me, in particular, but he was talking about us at his rallies," Goldberg said in reference to Trump, whom she regularly calls "you-know-who" instead of addressing him by name.
Kamala Harris went on 'The View.'Here's what she said.
At a campaign rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, Trump said that "The View" panelists are "really dumb people." He also recalled hiring Goldberg for a comedy event at one of his casinos, claiming that her "mouth was so foul" and her set was "filthy, dirty" and "disgusting." He also claimed that she once encouraged him to run for president.

The Oscar nominee and "View" moderator slammed Trump's comments, saying he hired her "four times."
"I was filthy and stand on that fact. I have always been filthy, and you knew that when you hired me," Goldberg responded. "I headlined, babe, at your casino, which I might've continued to play had you not run it into the ground. How dumb are you? You hired me four times."
Goldberg continued: "You didn’t know what you were getting? How dumb are you?" Goldberg asked again.
"The View" co-host and legal expert Sunny Hostin added her voice by jokingly thanking the former president.
"Donald Trump, I want to thank you for personally telling so many lies and committing so many alleged crimes and providing us with material on a daily basis. You help us do our jobs, and I'm so appreciative," Hostin said before inviting Trump on the show, saying she'd "even give you a mug, not to be confused with a mugshot."
Hostin's comments were in reference to the 34 felony counts that Trump faces in New York state courts. "The View" table's lone conservative and ex-Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin also threw shade at her former boss.
"He called you a loser and I would just note, you're an EGOT and he lost the last election and can't admit it," Griffin said, adding that Trump is "triggered by women." Griffin exited the Trump White House after Jan. 6, citing the former president's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
