Whoopi Goldberg Calls Uvalde Video Leak ‘Indefensible’

Earlier this week, the Austin American-Statesman released footage from Robb Elementary School.

The shooting in Uvalde, Texas, claimed the lives of 19 children and 2 teachers.

The hour-long edited video shows the police’s show response to the shooting.

Whoopi is among the many criticizing the leak of the footage.

The committee investigating the shooting had planned to show it to families this weekend.

[{"selector":"#anim-d72d59ef-c7ed-49e4-a7a9-336bdaca0808","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-92365399-285c-4c50-887d-4c8ecb90ef9a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e2f06f2-64d6-4b8b-8943-6d4513fab3d3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, families were not notified when it was released online.

On “The View,” Whoopi literally spit on the stage to make her feelings clear.

She called the decision to release the video “indefensible” and “appalling.”

“I don't know if you guys over at that newspaper have kids, but, shame on you,” she said.
