'19 Kids And Counting' Controversy: Whoopi Goldberg Slams the Duggars; Says 'Don't Bring Up God'

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg was the most vocal in her disapproval of the "19 Kids and Counting" parents on Thursday morning.

After breaking their silence, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar revealed to "Kelly File" how they fought for their son, Josh, after he confessed to sexually molesting five girls during his teenage years.

"You brought God up, so it makes it OK to say this," Goldberg said in the show, as quoted by The Wrap. "You're not forgiving of people. You're not forgiving of people who feel differently than you."

"Don't bring up God ... and talk about God forgiving people when you don't have forgiveness in their own hearts," she added.

"I know this is your son and I know that you're trying, and this was many years ago. But don't downplay this, especially after what you guys have done in the name of Christianity and God to other people," Goldberg continues.

With a history of supporting anti-LGBT causes, Michelle Duggar recorded a robocall to voters in Fayetteville, Arkansas which she argues against a local anti-gay-discrimination law. She connects transgender parties to child prey as part of her debate. The whole "Kelly File" interview is an attempt to "cover up hypocrisy", notes The New Civil Rights Movement.

"The View" co-host Nicole Wallace reflects on Michelle Duggar's response, saying she had answered deceitfully.

"This is the trap in politics; it's hypocrisy," Wallace said. "When you say. 'God will forgive my son who molested my daughter,' if that's your worldview, if that's how you got through it, OK. But then you can't say that God can't forgive a transgender person."

Fox News Insider reports that Jim Bob Duggar told "Kelly File" host Megyn Kelly, "If God can forgive [Josh], and then I hope other people can realize that God can forgive them."

Duggar, defending his son, now 27, argues that he was not a pedophile, having said that he was underage when the molestations happened. "It was a child preying on a child," he said, pertaining to Josh's behaviors.

"I think, as parents, you feel like a failure when one of your kids does something wrong," Jim Bob shared in the "Kelly File" interview. "You feel like if I had done more training or maybe something else that this wouldn't have happened."

"But the truth is that kids will make their own choices and they will make their own decisions, even though you've taught them what's right and wrong," he added.
