Screencap of Twitter/X video.
Today on The View, deranged co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed that Trump is planning a military draft to fight Iran. There is zero evidence for this. It’s like Whoopi is just making things up out of thin air.

The View is considered part of ABC News. Does ABC News stand by this claim from one of their hosts?

GOLDBERG: It’s a draft! I can sorry, it’s a draft! Because if you are 18 to 25, they’re looking at you!
SARA HAINES: Well, they’re increasing that age, too –

ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg falsely claims “they’re planning on a draft” to go fight Iran. One cast member thinks she’d be drafted, another says he just beat the a revised cut off.

Do these imbeciles just sit around before the show and make stuff up to say on the air? Do they also compete for who can come up with the craziest claim? Because it sure looks that way.
