Staten Island bakery customers batter Whoopi Goldberg for dubious claim she wasn’t served over liberal views: ‘Bulls–t’

New Yorkers aren’t letting Whoopi Goldberg’s sourpuss spoil their favorite spot for sweet treats, after she put a local bakery on blast on national TV, alleging they refused to serve her because of her lefty political beliefs.

“I think it’s ridiculous. Why would she come all the way to Staten Island for her cupcake? To make an issue? They’ve been here forever,” Deborah Bernaz, 68, said of the comic’s claims against the beloved 145-year old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island.

“I don’t think it has anything to do with politics. They’re a little Staten Island bakery. I think it’s bulls–t what she’s saying. Leave politics out of the bakery,”

The actress and “The View” co-host went into full victim mode on Wednesday’s broadcast, grousing that Holtermann’s wouldn’t sell her the Charlotte Russe desserts she wanted to celebrate her 68th 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day on the show because of her “politics.”

“Now, I should tell you, Charlotte Russe has no political leanings, and the place that made these refused to make them for me,” Goldberg said, prompting aghast reactions from the audience and co-hosts.

“They said that their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff, but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them.”

“They did not like my politics,” she said without evidence.

But Holtermann’s loyal customers told The Post they weren’t buying her claims.

Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island, which has been serving customers for 145 years, said the reason they couldn’t deliver her order was due to problems with the building’s boiler.

“They would never do that,” said customer Lucy D’Amato. “I’m not going to get into detail, but she’s not a nice person,” she said of the Emmy-, Grammy-, Oscar- and Tony-winner.

A steady stream of shoppers came and went from Holtermann’s Thursday, toting bags full of cupcakes, pies, cakes and pastries from the bakery, which customers said has never shown or expressed a preference for any political candidate.

A teacher who declined to give her name said she was there to support the local business after the kerfuffle, and stopped by to pick up some vanilla cupcakes.

“I read she tried to order stuff and made a comment that she didn’t get served because of her political stance. That’s disgusting. Unbelievable, give me a break,” she said.

Mother and daughter Deborah and Alicia Bernaz, who have been coming to Holtermann’s for almost 40 years, said they thought Goldberg’s claims were “bulls–t.”Gabriella Bass

“She can basically put a place out of business by saying those comments live like that. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Another customer who declined to give her name defended the bakery against Goldberg’s disparaging remarks in characteristically New York fashion.

“I think that’s bulls–t,” she said.

“They’ve always been pleasant. They had a mechanical issue here, and they couldn’t deliver. It is what it is.”

Goldberg — and the rest of her pampered “The View” co-hosts — have been in full meltdown after President-elect Trump’s decisive election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.

She recently drew fire on the show for blaming out-of-control grocery prices of the last few years not on the Biden administration, but on the grocers themselves, whom she called “pigs.”

She was also mocked for painting herself as working-class, claiming she relates to people who have struggled with inflation and increased costs of living.

“I appreciate that people are having a hard time. Me too. I work for a living,” Goldberg said following a segment about Donald Trump’s second presidency.

“If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, OK? So, I’m a working person, you know?”

Goldberg’s net worth has been reported at around $60 million. In 2016, Variety reported her annual salary from “The View” was between $5 million and $6 million, placing her comfortably among the top 0.1% of US wage earners.

Goldberg’s representatives didn’t respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
