During Wednesday's episode of The View, Whoopi, 66, addressed the actions of the Austin American-Statesman for leaking a never-before-seen video of the tragic Ulvade Texas shooting.

The daytime talk show host started by admitting, "This story really really...makes me insane".

She proceeds, informing her audience that a Texas newspaper had recently released a video of "Uvalde police officers standing down for 77-minutes as the shooter shot 19 students and two teachers."

Whoopi revealed that "many parents of victims are outraged [that] this was released but the paper is defending their decision."

Then speaking to the audience present, the viewers watching at home, and the Statesman, Whoopi makes known that she "finds it indefensible."

The TV personality then addresses the Austin American-Statesman directly.

"You forgot that attached to all those sounds are people's children and you did not have to do this."

She continues, "They were going to see this video on Sunday, you did not have to release this."

With her anger and disgust boiling over, Whoopi states "I think it's appalling and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

For being thoughtless about the parents who have to relive this every day because it's on television."

Audience applause fills the studio as the commentator readies her final remarks on the subject.

Whoopi then voices: "I don't know if you guys over at that newspaper have kids but shame on you."

'CAN STILL HEAR THE SHOOTING'

Later in the segment, co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin shared her opinion as to why she thinks it's important that the video was released with Whoopi providing a response to that as well.

Alyssa starts by stating that she "thinks this outlet had an obligation to make every attempt to reach the family to say they were publishing it sooner."

The co-host then explains that she believes "justice does come from seeing these things"

"I don't know that the social justice movement...that came to such a strength in the summer of 2020 would've if we see that heartbreaking endless footage of George Floyd."

Whoopi interrupts, "I've watched police officers take lives on video...I've seen it [but] this is children.

We know how many kids, we know they were in there...we knew [the police] didn't do anything, we knew they didn't run in there, we knew they were bull--"

Whoopi stops herself from cursing on-air before continuing, "...that they were not telling the truth."
