Whoopi Goldberg, 70, said in Thursday’s (13) episode of the podcast Behind the Table that she has the desire to take on an important position in the U.S. government.
The host of “The View” said this will never happen as long as her show is on air.
“But I still want to represent our country in another country. I’ve always wanted to be an ambassador,” Whoopi Goldberg told host Brian Teta, after he asked her what she would still like to do in her lifetime.
“I think there are excellent things about this country. I know we are not perfect, and there’s a lot we need to fix. It’s what I’ve always said: there are great things about us and terrible things about us,” she reflected.
Whoopi Goldberg said she wishes to travel to other countries to soften the perception that others have of the United States.
“I want to bring back to the American people what people out there are doing. They have no voice in this.”
The “Ghost” star was called a “patriot” by Teta, who praised the love she has for her country. She responded that the U.S. is one of the few places where you can say ‘I don’t like this.’”
“That’s the America I grew up in. I’ve always had Republican friends and I still do, but this idea that we can’t disagree without it being a threat to life… That is not America,” she emphasized.
Teta ended the episode joking that he personally likes “the idea of Ambassador Whoopi Goldberg, because Whoopi Goldberg with diplomatic immunity is very exciting to me.”
