Whoopi Goldberg calls out audience member using camera during 'The View'
The co-hosts of 'The View' have called out the audience on multiple occasions in recent years
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Whoopi Goldberg called out an audience member during the live broadcast of "The View" on Tuesday for presumably using a camera to record, and told the person not to pull it out again.
While discussing former President Trump's bond payment, which was reduced to $175 million on Monday, Goldberg interrupted co-host Sunny Hostin and got up to reprimand the audience member.
"Sir, I have to stop you with the camera. Because I can see you. So do me a favor, don’t pull it out again. I’d appreciate that. Thank you," Goldberg said.

Goldberg has attempted to stop the show's audience from booing Republican guests such as Kellyanne Conway, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.
During Scott's interview on "The View" in June 2023, Goldberg said, "This is ‘The View.’ We accept – we don’t have to believe everything people say, but you cannot boo people here, please. You cannot do it. Please continue."

WHOOPI GOLDBERG SCOLDS ‘THE VIEW’ AUDIENCE FOR BOOING KELLYANNE CONWAY
Behar recently called out male members of the audience during their interview with Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford. While discussing Ford's new book, detailing her experience in testifying before the Senate during the Kavanaugh hearings, Behar asked about the thousands of letters Ford received in support.
Ford noted just 10% of the letters were from males.

After the interruption on Tuesday, Hostin argued Trump's decreased bond payment was "very appropriate," and declared she was comfortable with it.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"The lowering of the bond was very appropriate, right? We always say that we want everyone to be treated across the legal spectrum in the same way and that we want the law to apply equally in the same way, bonds are not supposed to be punitive," Hostin said. "They are only supposed to make sure that the person returns to court and answers, you know, whatever charges have been alleged."
