During , Whoopi and her fellow co-host Tara Setmayer argued over gun reform.

At approximately 14 minutes into the episode, Wood noticed Whoopi "started talking over the other hosts" and "became voraciously angry."

Wood explained: ";In part, she became quite justifiably angry concerning the topic of a mass shooting.

"She bared her front teeth like a hungry lion while yelling and continued to show her front teeth while pointing her finger as her hand was a gun."

She was seen responding to Tara saying "it's not as easy" as simply banning AR-15s to get guns out of the hands of people.

Whoopi's unique gestures were seen as she replied: "It actually is easy! We've all met people who have had to deal with the death of a loved one at the hands of a gun.

"You can say, 'Well, I wish they had more mental health check-ins,' but people who don't see the need to remove one gun ... the people who don't see a need to remove that will never see a need to make sure people get help."

According to Wood, part of Whoopi's anger was towards the situation of mass shootings and another part was frustrated.

Whoopi appeared "angry that Tara wasn’t showing what she felt was enough rage about the lack of governmental action to end made shootings," Wood explained.

Tara, the host with the purple eyeshadow and the necklace with the square silver charm, responded: "Even if you can remove the AR-15, they can use handguns."

Wood described to The Sun how Tara replied to Whoopi "by pointing up and back using a chopping motion with her hand trying to chop away on what Whoopi said."

She added: "And then, when she was still talked over by Whoopi, Tara responded to her yelling by giving several "eye shutters."

When Tara continues to shut her eyes for an extended period of time, she is repeatedly "trying to close out Whoopi's assault and attempting to focus on what she wants to say," according to Wood.

However, Whoopi fired back and interrupted Tara by saying: "A handgun does not turn people to dust! Start with the first thing that can eliminate a child."

"During this time Whoopi kept talking and yelling, and again pointed her finger like a gun at the other speaker," Wood said.

"Whoop also pursed her lips, glared, and sat back with her shoulders set firmly and gave a final look of righteous judgment."

Wood noticed Tara was making the same movements and as she agreed with Whoopi she chopped her hands towards her cohost.

She added: "And Whoopi, with one foot on the ground and the other foot back ready to take action, put up both her hands in a stop position to close down any talking from Tara even though Tara said she actually agreed with her.

"Whoopi continued yelling at an even higher volume level as she talked about the bullets from the gun 'eliminating a child' while using broad sharp weapon-like gestures such as chopping up and down movements toward Tara.

"Tara was sliced and diced and shot out throughout this discussion."
