'We Aren't Going Anywhere' Whoopi Goldberg's Powerful Message to 'The View' Detractors
On a Tuesday episode of "The View" the conversation was already heated discussing Donald Trump and politics as usual. But things took a turn when the panel started talking about criticism aimed at them and the show itself. Guest Karine Jean-Pierre a former White House Press Secretary was asked about being called a "DEI hire" despite her impressive resume. Jean-Pierre handled it like a pro saying she takes it as a "badge of honor" and defended the importance of diversity equity and inclusion.
This really resonated with Whoopi. She jumped in to add her own thoughts and she did not hold back. Whoopi declared "We are not our great-grandparents. We are not our grandparents. We are of 2025." She emphasized how much times have changed and how women today are different from past generations. Basically she was saying "The View" hosts are modern women with modern opinions and they are here to stay no matter what.
Whoopi then looked right at Sunny Hostin Karine Jean-Pierre and the other ladies at the table like Sara Haines Joy Behar and Alyssa Farah Griffin. She stated that whether they agree on everything or not "All these women whether we would agree all the time or not we are here to stay. We’re not going anywhere. And you can call it any number of letters you want to. You’re gonna wake up and we’re still going to be here." Boom. Message received loud and clear.
Whoopi Goldberg Admits 'The View' Platform Used to Share Democratic Talking Points

In that same episode things got even more interesting during a discussion with another guest Stephen A. Smith. Smith argued that the Democratic Party is missing the mark and not connecting with everyday Americans. He said the 2024 election losses were more about Democrats failing to deliver a good message than about Trump's appeal.
Whoopi actually agreed with part of Smith’s point in a surprising moment of honesty. She admitted that "The View" as a platform is used to push Democratic ideas. She jumped in to list issues that Democrats usually talk about like "Making sure that families had what they need… making sure stuff is there. Making sure that the America we all grew up in where you could come and be whoever you were supposed to be or want to be you still have that right.”
Basically Whoopi acknowledged that she uses "The View" to promote what Democrats stand for. It was a pretty open admission that the show does have a certain political slant and she is not afraid to use her voice to share those views. It definitely adds another layer to understanding "The View" and Whoopi's role on it.
