Whoopi Goldberg was so incensed during a discussion on The View that she tore up her prompter card and refused to read what was on it.
The actor-turned-host, 67, was about to make a statement about US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's thoughts on gun control.
However, such was her anger at the controversial views, Whoopi point blank refused to read what was in front of her.
Instead, she ripped her cue card in half and furiously said she would not read the quotes of the Representative from Georgia.
Going on her rant, Whoopi raged: "No! I'm not going to say that! I'm not going to say it!

As the panellists of The View returned to the screen, it was Whoopi's dry look that got people talking.
Resting her chin on her hand in a bored manner, the Sister Act star seemed unimpressed by what she saw, while her co-panellists laughed around her.
