Raven-Symoné , former Disney star co-host on ABC's daytime talk show "The View," made a bold declaration on the Thursday (Feb. 25) episode of the show, the Wrap reported. After returning from a commercial break Symoné's co-host, actress Whoopi Goldberg, asked her to make a confession about her stance on the 2016 presidential election and she responded with her plans of moving out of the country if a Republican candidate "gets nominated."
"My confession for this election is if any Republican gets nominated, I'm gonna to move to Canada with my entire family," she told her co-hosts, via Daily Caller. "I already have my ticket. No, I literally bought my ticket, I swear."
Her co-host, comedian Joy Behar, mentioned that Symoné is not a citizen of Canada, which would put a damper in her plans to move to the country.
"It's OK. I'll make it," Symoné responded. "I'll make it. I'll figure that out."
At some point during the Thursday episode, the ladies of "The View" (including Behar, Goldberg, Symoné, Paula Faris and Candace Cameron Bure) discussed the 2016 president race, ahead of last night's GOP debate between remaining candidates Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, John Kasich and Donald Trump.
"It's a definite possibility that Donald Trump could end up being the republican nominee," Goldberg said, and cited a recent New York Times poll that found 20 percent of Trump voters opposed Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation which freed African American slaves.
Cameron Bure explained that the wording of the poll was "tricky," which is what may have led to the surprising results.
"It's meaningful," Goldberg said. "Yesterday he talked about how glad he was to talk to the under-educated folks, and it kind of bothers me that this is what he's saying is a good thing."
