Freudian slip, much?
Many say that these sorts of slips reveal what’s really on one’s mind. On Whoopi’s mind, such as it is, that the conviction was a confection.
Cambridge Dictionary: “Confect: to create something, especially in a way that seems artificial or false”.
Just as Trump’s conviction was confected, a Frankensteinian conviction, cobbled out of an expired misdemeanour (exactly the same as one that got then-candidate Hillary Clinton an $800 fine).
That way “confected”.
I’m not going to try to find the clip with her slip; it’s probably been snipped out of existence -- the clip with a slip is a snip. But it did happen. I saw it IRL.
Every time someone says Trump is a “convicted felon”, the response from his supporters should be “oh, you mean a confected felon!”.
