Whoopi Goldberg is admonishing Republican congressmembers who have chosen to stay quiet in the wake of Donald Trump’s repeated bashing of late director Rob Reiner.

The EGOT winner, who worked with Reiner on the 1996 film Ghosts of the Mississippi, called out conservatives who didn’t publicly condemn the president’s remarks after he claimed on social media that Reiner died “due to Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

“There’s no justification for him to have written what he wrote,” Goldberg said on Tuesday’s episode of The View. “There’s no way to justify it and all those republicans who are quiet, damn you all. Damn you all.”

Earlier in the segment, the actress delivered a message to Trump by speaking directly to the camera.

“I don’t know how you were raised, but this man’s family is in deep mourning and what you said and what you’ve doubled down on, make you bad for the country,” she said. “That’s my opinion, but I see a lot of conservatives are feeling the same way and I have to say: there’s something that we all know is that when something horrific happens, we come together. We don’t delineate because someone didn’t like you. That’s not what we do.”

Goldberg went on to acknowledge that several “high-profile conservatives are actually calling out his comments as also bad for the country,” before showing a clip of Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy stating that Trump “should’ve said nothing” about Reiner’s death.

Republican cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin added that it was important to see “there has been some pushback from the right” in the wake of Trump’s remarks. “It’s not as much as I’d want to see,” she admitted, “but I do want to shout those out who have been powerful.”

Her list included Kentucky representative Thomas Massie, who described Trump’s comments as “inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered,” and Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who noted that “this is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies.”

“My friend David Urban, who was a Trump advisor, just definitively, no apologies, called it out and you need that,” Griffin explained. “I don’t know how much lower you can go than after a family was murdered.”

Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead of an apparent homicide in their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on Sunday. Their son, Nick Reiner, is in police custody and being held without bail.

On Monday, Trump claimed that Reiner died “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

He continued, “He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”

A reporter later asked Trump about his comments at a White House press conference that same day, where he doubled down on his cruelty. “I wasn’t a fan of his at all,” he said of Reiner, before speaking in the third person. “He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.”

He reiterated his claim that Reiner had “Trump Derangement Syndrome” before adding, “So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all, in any way, shape, or form. I thought he was very bad for our country.”
