STORMS ON AIR: WHOOPI GOLDBERG AND ‘THE VIEW’ CONTINUE TO IGNITE AMERICAN POLITICS

From Inviting Controversial Guests to Firing Back at Critics – Whoopi Goldberg Remains the Unshakable Heart of America’s Most Volatile Morning Talk Show.

The Talk Show Queen Stands Firm Amidst Turbulence

Since 2007, EGOT winner (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) Whoopi Goldberg has served as the moderator and key figure of the highly popular daytime talk show “The View” on ABC. With over a decade at the “heart” of the panel, Whoopi not only guides the discussions but also defines the show’s characteristic style of multi-faceted, often controversial, dialogue.

Despite being in her late 60s, Whoopi does not hesitate to confront her critics. In a recent passionate address, she sent a stern message to the “haters” who constantly call for the show’s cancellation due to its political stances:

“We are not going anywhere… This is 2025, and we’re not going anywhere. You can call us any number of letters you want to. You’re gonna wake up and we’re still going to be here.”

The Controversial Guest Decision: Marjorie Taylor Greene

Recently, Whoopi and The View team once again stirred up public opinion by announcing the invitation of Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) as a guest. This decision followed the co-hosts expressing their desire for more Republican voices on the show—an invitation they admitted is often ignored or turned down by Republican politicians fearful of tough questioning.

Whoopi Goldberg explained that while she and MTG rarely agree politically, they do share common ground on one issue: the view that a government shutdown should not negatively affect the American people.

However, inviting MTG—a highly divisive and controversial figure—immediately sparked a wave of backlash on social media, even from some Republicans who accused Greene of no longer being a “true Republican.” This move highlights the readiness of Whoopi and The View to directly confront some of the most polarizing figures in the United States.

Unafraid to Clash with President Donald Trump

Whoopi Goldberg is well-known for her uncompromising stance on President Donald Trump. The clashes between Whoopi and Trump frequently become “Hot Topics” on The View:

Responding to Insults: When Trump called Whoopi a “loser” and accused her of having a “foul mouth,” Whoopi proudly wore the insult as a badge of honor, asserting she has “always been filthy” and ironically pointing out that Trump still hired her to perform four times.

On Free Speech: Whoopi has fiercely defended the right to free speech, even for comments she personally dislikes, in the context of Trump officials being accused of wanting to “weaponize” the restriction of free speech.

The outspoken, sometimes shocking, nature of Whoopi Goldberg has solidified The View‘s position not just as an entertainment program but as an unofficial political arena where heated issues are dissected without compromise.
