Whoopi Tweets Mitt 10 Times: I Used To Respect You But You’re Nothing Like Your Dad
Whoopi Goldberg tonight went on a Twitter tirade against Mitt Romney, and wrote 10 tweets in 22 minutes, then came back 47 minutes later for a final blow. Saying she used to respect him, but now he’s “nothing like” his dad, Goldberg went through a list of issues, from health care to abortion, with a smattering of Ted Kennedy thrown in for good measure.
