Whoopi Goldberg is standing her ground against critics who claim “The View” is too political.
In a candid moment on the show, Goldberg responded to calls for its cancellation, particularly from conservative viewers who take issue with the panel’s progressive leanings. She argued that the show’s strength lies in its willingness to tackle tough topics head-on—without sugarcoating opinions.
“People love to say, ‘Cancel The View,’ but what they really mean is, ‘I don’t like hearing things I disagree with,’” Goldberg said. “We’re not here to tell you what to think. We’re here to say what we think and let you decide.”
The discussion came after cohosts Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin sparred over former President Trump, with Griffin accusing Hostin of making the debate personal. Goldberg acknowledged the tension but defended the show’s commitment to free expression.
“When people attack us personally, that’s when it crosses the line,” she said. “But disagreeing? That’s just conversation.”
With “The View” continuing to stir debate, Goldberg made one thing clear: The show isn’t afraid of controversy—it thrives on it.
