NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘The View’ co-hosts discussed the most talked about celebrity couple at the moment, aka Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, after old tweets of Kelce surfaced, which the Swifties reacted to on Thursday, November 16.
Although Whoopi Goldberg initially couldn't recall Kelce's name, she defended his resurfaced tweets, claiming, “This is not my problem.”

'The View' hosts discuss Travis Kelce's resurfaced tweets
On ‘The View,’ moderator and host Whoop Goldberg presented the topic to her co-hosts, “Old social media posts from Taylor Swift's boyfriend, what is this child's name, Travis Kelce, have re-emerged where he makes a few disparaging comments about women. Some date back to 2010 when he was like 4!”
Joy Behar chimed in and immediately corrected Goldberg, “No, he was in high school.”
Goldberg immediately backed Kelce up…in some way, “Listen, show me a high school boy that hasn't said something stupid. Show me, I'm sorry. This is not my problem. I don't…really, you know. but I have to say to you, how big a problem would this be for you?”
Behar decided to read one of Kelce’s old quotes in response, “Here's one of his quotes, 'Damn the Clippers girls got to be the girls that don't make the Lakers team because they was all ugly.' Forget about…”
After ‘The View’ laughed about Behar’s “dramatic reading,” she also added, “He’s illiterate is more to the point.”

After Joy Behar read another one of Travis Kelce’s old tweets, Whoopi Goldberg asked, “Why do you care? Why do you care what he thinks?”
Behar responded, “I love my little…I’m a Swiftie, and I love her because she’s getting young people out to vote, so I don’t want her to be stuck with this.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin also eventually chimed in as she clarified “not necessarily defending Travis Kelce.”
Griffin talked about how Kelce and Swift belong to her generation who grew up documenting everything on social media.
She also added, “You got to give people a little grace,” after explaining that people didn’t always understand what was “problematic” back then.
