The View Rips Duggars: When Will You Show Same Forgiveness to Others?

Last night Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar talked a lot with Megyn Kelly about their son Josh admitting he molested his younger sisters and how they turned to God to find the forgiveness in their hearts to move past it. Well, on The View today, some of the hosts had really tough words for the Duggars on not applying this forgiveness equally.

Whoopi Goldberg said, “You’re not forgiving of people who feel differently than you.” She invoked Michelle Duggar’s robocall warning about the dangers of transgenders and said they shouldn’t “downplay” what their son did, “especially after what you guys have done in the name of Christianity and God to other people.”

Raven-Symone said they should have shown more “respect to the victims,” and Goldberg added, “Don’t play the Christian card like that… when you don’t have forgiveness in your own heart.”

Nicolle Wallace brought up the robocall again and argued that it’s fine and all to say you show forgiveness to your son, “but then you can’t say that God can’t forgive a transgender person.”
