The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has taken a wild turn thanks to a bizarre claim from a primetime liberal personality.
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed yesterday that President Donald Trump’s actions in Iran were a method of distraction to keep public attention off the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
The co-hosts of the blatantly liberal daytime show discussed the latest in the war with Iran, particularly the surge in oil prices and gas prices.
“It’s nutty as hell,” Goldberg said.
“And you’re right, every day it’s something new. And it’s, you know, I was thinking about it yesterday, because I thought, ‘Well, OK, why haven’t we been talking about Savannah Guthrie and what’s going on there? Why haven’t we — why have we not been talking about the Epstein files?’ Because that’s still there.”
“This is meant to get us so worked up that we are unable to see anything else,” Goldberg concluded.
Goldberg’s co-hosts seemed to agree with the wild claim, with Sunny Hostin adding, “It’s a very ‘wag the dog’ feeling.”

Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for over 30 days.
Authorities believe she was kidnapped from her home in the Catalina Foothills in northern Tucson around 2:30 a.m. Feb. 1.
However, despite Goldberg’s insane claim, President Trump has been vocal in the search for Guthrie, ordering last month that he is directing all federal law enforcement to assist in the search for Guthrie
Trump called the Guthrie family in late February after an interview with NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas and told her that every available federal resource would be at the disposal of her family and local law enforcement.
The president posted his commitment on Truth Social, saying:
“I spoke with Savannah Guthrie, and let her know that I am directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family’s, and Local Law Enforcement’s, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump said.
“We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely. The prayers of our Nation are with her and her family. GOD BLESS AND PROTECT NANCY!”
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time that Goldberg and her “View” co-hosts have made bizarre connections about Iran, either.
Last June, Goldberg compared living in the U.S. to living in Iran despite co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pushing back and pointing out how the Iranian regime has treated women.
Griffin said, “In the year 2025 in the United States is nothing like if I step foot wearing this outfit into Iran right now.”
“It is the same,” Goldberg said.
“Murdering someone for their difference is not good whoever does it.”
Griffin reiterated her point and repeated that living in the U.S. in 2025 was “very different” than living in Iran.
“Not if you’re Black,” Goldberg insisted, and Hostin added, “not for everybody.”
Earlier this week, Goldberg said Trump was sending Americans to war to “lose their lives.”
“Basically, we are sending people in to lose their lives,” she warned.
“Because we have seen how fighting goes. We knew we shouldn’t have gone into Afghanistan. We knew that, and they decided to do it anyway.
“So, now we are in the same position where someone who doesn’t seem to care that human beings are being sent to war and people’s sons and daughters. His kids aren’t going,” Goldberg said, referring to Trump.
