The hosts of “The View” were discussing Trump’s interview on “60 Minutes.” Sunny Hostin noted that the president had pardoned Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the convicted founder of Binance.
“The Trump family made about $1.8 billion from this administration, and he said Joe Biden didn’t know who he was pardoning when he used an autopen. How do you not know who this guy is?” said Hostin.
Whoopi Goldberg seized the moment to make a joke, saying, “Because he used an autopen.” Later, Hostin wrote something on a note and handed it to her colleague.
“What is this? What?” exclaimed the “Ghost” star as she grabbed the note. “We don’t know if Trump used an autopen to grant the pardon — it was a joke!” she read aloud, before tearing the note apart.

Hostin reiterated that there was no confirmation that Trump had actually used an autopen to issue the pardon.
“Sorry. The hardest part of this job right now is that nobody understands nuance,” criticized Whoopi Goldberg.
“You know when you hear a joke, when someone is kidding, when they’re not being literal. Especially on this show. I’m very specific when I’m pointing something out. […] This is ridiculous,” said the host.
Whoopi Goldberg was met with applause and continued criticizing Donald Trump.
