\n\u201cI\u2019m the least likely person to watch The View (though Whoopi is a dear friend and nothing could ever change that, even politics), but this clip alone is worth its weight in gold. Watching @kimKBaltimore sucker punch Joy \u2018BlackFace\u2019 Behar is priceless!!!\u201d Woods posted on Twitter.

\nJoy Behar and Sunny Hostin were like a tag team during the Kimberly Klacik interview. Right off the bat, both Behar and Hostin disagreed with the African-American businesswoman from Maryland. Hostin was upset that Klacik did not support the Black Lives Matter movement. Klacik, who is from Baltimore, claimed that BLM was \u201chijacked\u201d by those who \u201cgo into cities with the intent to burn and to loot.\u201d

\nWhen Behar got her turn to question Klacik, she went on the offensive. However, the Baltimore native fired back. \u201cIs this the same Joy that paraded around in blackface not too long ago?\u201d quipped Klacik. That caused Behar to momentarily lose her cool. \u201cExcuse me! Excuse me! That\u2019s not true. The Black community had my back, they know that was not blackface, that was homage,\u201d Behar responded.

\n\u201cThey know that that was not blackface,\u201d Klacik said. \u201cThat was an homage? Oh, please! The Black community has my back as well.\u201d An annoyed Behar once again denied that her long-ago, much-discussed Halloween party get-up was blackface, calling it \u201chomage,\u201d again. That\u2019s when Sunny Hostin jumped in to the discussion. \u201cThe Black community has your back? The Black community has your back?\u201d Hostin said. \u201cWhat planet are you living on?\u201d

\nThe African-American businesswoman tried to respond. \u201cSunny, can I speak? Can I speak, or are you just going to scream over me?\u201d Klacik said. Behar then cuts the interview short, causing Klacik to respond, \u201cThat\u2019s been very immature, but thank you for having me.\u201d Later, the Baltimore native posted on Twitter, writing, \u201cThe ladies of @TheView didn\u2019t like what I had to say, so naturally they cut me off. Why are they silencing Black Women? Hey, @JoyVBehar \u2014 I think your White Privilege is showing through your blackface!\u201d
\n
\nJames Woods also knows only too well how having strong opinions can affect one\u2019s life. \u201cJames Woods, the Oscar-nominated actor, and outspoken Hollywood conservative said he has been dropped by his longtime talent agent, Ken Kaplan, over his politics,\u201d The Wrap reported.
\nThe news was first revealed by the Emmy-winning actor himself on Twitter, who shared an email he said he received from Kaplan. \u201cIt\u2019s the 4th of July and I\u2019m feeling patriotic. I don\u2019t want to represent you anymore. I mean I could go on a rant but you know what I\u2019d say,\u201d said Kaplan.

\nThe vocal actor posted his response on social media. \u201cDear Ken, I don\u2019t actually,\u201d said Woods. \u201cI was thinking if you\u2019re feeling patriotic, you would appreciate free speech and one\u2019s right to think as an individual. Be that as it may, I want to thank you for all your hard work and devotion on my behalf. Be well.\u201d
\nWoods has also taken a stance against Twitter in the past over \u201ccensorship.\u201d Twitter apparently suspended the veteran actor\u2019s account, claiming that a long-ago post that included a \u201cmeme\u201d was against their terms and saying it \u201chas the potential to be misleading in a way that could impact an election.\u201d
\n
\nIn an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, James Woods said this meant he would be allowed back on Twitter only if he decided to do what Twitter said and acceded to the social platform\u2019s concept of free speech \u2014 not the right to free speech outlined in the Constitution.
\n\u201cFree speech is free speech \u2014 it\u2019s not Jack Dorsey\u2019s version of free speech,\u201d Woods said, referring to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. \u201c[H]aving your voice smothered is much more disturbing than having your vocal cords slit,\u201d Woods added. \u201cIf you want to kill my free speech, man up and slit my throat with a knife, don\u2019t smother me with a pillow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
