The topic came up after Whoopi Goldberg commented on the background of Democratic politician Graham Platner. The conversation eventually turned into a personal confession from the actress.

The hosts of “The View” were discussing on Thursday (23) a skull tattoo that Platner got in 2007 during a drunken night in Croatia. The symbol was linked to extremist groups.
“When you’re drunk, you tell the truth,” said commentator Joy Behar, recalling when Mel Gibson was accused of antisemitism after being arrested in 2006 and making offensive remarks.
“When I have a few glasses of wine, I don’t start shouting racist slogans,” joked the host.
Whoopi Goldberg took the opportunity to talk about her own experience with alcohol.
“When I used to drink, strange things came out of my mouth, yes. You know, nothing like that today, but for people back then, it might have sounded…,” said the “Ghost” star before being interrupted by Behar.
“Yes, but it wasn’t racist. Or antisemitic,” interrupted her co-host. “You don’t know that,” replied Whoopi Goldberg, and Behar insisted, “Yes, I do.”
“I know I drank and did stupid things, and I took responsibility for it,” said the actress. “And don’t think I don’t know you’re going to look for things. You won’t find anything of me drunk, because I haven’t drunk in many years.”
After the break, Whoopi Goldberg clarified her statement.
“Before we start, I just want to make it clear that my point was that people sometimes say stupid things when they’re drunk,” she said.
