Whoopi Goldberg appeared to be channeling twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” sentiment by admitting she can’t even talk to people who support President Donald Trump.
Does Whoopi realize she is now referring to the majority of America?
Goldberg still refuses to mention Trump by name, opting instead for terms like “the man in the White House” or “you know who.”
On Monday, she took it even further by expressing her disdain for the American people who voted for him. The meltdown erupted when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin acknowledged that Trump’s efforts had been paying off during his first month in office.
“One of the things he is excellent at, and the media takes the bait often, is he writes himself into every story,” Griffin said. “He didn’t just do the Super Bowl interview, he attended the Super Bowl … he is working in a 21st-century media environment that is outpacing traditional media but also the opposition.
“I think Dems are kind of playing on a 1990s playbook of, like, if I go speak on the Senate floor, if I go on ‘Meet the Press,’ it’s going to stop him.”
Watch
Co-host Ana Navarro also admitted that the “resistance” against Trump had not materialized in the ways she believed it should, reflecting how Democrats have struggled with “reaching people” to organize.
“We all need to come together and show them that we’re mad as hell.”
Griffin suggested that Democrats would need to “go into uncomfortable spaces” and include Trump voters in their efforts to bring more people in.
Goldberg didn’t like this. “I think this is beyond Democrats and Republicans,” Goldberg said.
“It’s hard to talk to people who support people who think you don’t matter in the country … When you support THAT person … when we find the stuff that we agree on, that’s what we do.
“When we find the stuff that is disagreeable to the majority, now, I didn’t find anything of interest for me in Project 2025,” she said. “I didn’t feel like this is geared to us as a nation, I felt it was geared to very specific folks, and that bothered the poo out of me.”
“I understand what you’re saying, and we do have to talk to each other,” she finally conceded.
