New York City politicians are calling on Whoopi Goldberg to apologize for suggesting on air that a local bakery had declined to make “The View” co-host a batch of desserts for her birthday because of her political beliefs.

Staten Islanders do not discriminate based on political beliefs,” said New York City Councillor David Carr at a press conference on Friday. He was joined by fellow Republicans Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella and State Assembly Members Michael Tannousis,

The culture wars have found their way to the dessert table. What was supposed to be a simple birthday treat devolved into the latest flashpoint after “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg implied that a New York bakery refused to take her order because of her liberal politics.

The left-leaning host of “The View” said the business in a Republican stronghold declined to take an order under her name. The bakery said politics had nothing to do with it.

A New York City bakery has responded to claims made by actor and The View host Whoopi Goldberg that her order was refused because of her political views. Goldberg, who has been a co-host on The View since 2007, is an outspoken critic of Donald Trump and refused to say his name after he won the recent presidential election.

On the Wednesday, November 13 episode, the co-host claimed that a Staten Island bakery refused to make her the Charlotte Russe desserts because of her left-leaning political beliefs. Goldberg shared the bold allegation after explaining that the desserts, which she wanted to bring in for everyone at The View, were a tribute to her mother.
