Earlier this week on The View, co-host Whoopi Goldberg scolded fellow Democrats for publicly airing concerns about Joe Biden’s obvious decline, insisting they should have “kept their mouths shut” instead of acknowledging reality.
Goldberg argued that Biden’s fitness for office should have been handled behind closed doors:
“If the Democrats had kept their mouths shut and looked like, hold on, hear what I’m saying. If they had kept their mouths shut and took care of this in-house, as opposed to making it a public spectacle, I think people would have had a better feel about it,” Goldberg said.
She continued by dismissing criticisms of Biden’s failed reelection effort, suggesting the problem wasn’t his candidacy but the public discussion of his obvious weakness:
“Listen, you know, people love to go back and say, what we should have done. We should have run a better campaign. We should have run a better campaign. People wanted to hear what they heard. They got what they wanted. I don’t understand why we got to re litigate it. It happened, and now we’re all sitting in it, and it’s everybody’s fault,” Goldberg said.
Rather than grappling with Biden’s disastrous decision to run again, Goldberg bizarrely claimed the “real” problem was sexism:
“The elephant in the room is that this country will not elect a woman. That’s the real body,” she declared.
Her co-host Joy Behar echoed that sentiment, blaming voters’ supposed sexism for the Democrats’ predicament. According to Behar, America would “never elect a woman,” a sweeping excuse that sidesteps Democrats’ own failures.
The exchange came as Kamala Harris’ new book excerpt reignited debate about Biden’s reckless 2024 campaign. Harris blasted Biden’s decision to run again as “reckless” and slammed his White House communications team for leaving her politically exposed.
What viewers saw was a telling spectacle: Goldberg attacking her own party for being honest with voters, and Behar hiding behind identity politics. Both refused to confront the plain truth: Democrats propped up an unfit candidate, and the country saw it.
