Whoopi Goldberg took a wave of backlash after she used her platform on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; to claim that black Americans — even in the year 2025 — were no better off than Iranian citizens living under the brutal and oppressive Islamist government.
Goldberg and cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-view-goes-sideways-when-two-cohosts-claim-black-americans-are-worse-off-than-iranians">squared off</a> on the topic during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast, when Griffin correctly pointed out the fact that an Iranian woman would likely be arrested — or worse — for stepping foot outside wearing even the relatively modest outfit she had on at the time. &#8220;I can’t have my hair showing, I can’t wear a skirt, I can’t have my arms out,&#8221; she said.
Goldberg apparently objected to the idea that Iranians were more oppressed than black Americans, and said, &#8220;Listen, here’s the thing — let’s not do the — let’s not do that, because if we start with that, we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car.&#8221;
“I’m sorry, but where the Iranian regime is today is nothing compared to the United States,” Griffin interjected, again correctly.
&#8220;They used to just keep hanging black people!&#8221; Goldberg exclaimed, and continued to press the point.
But much like their reaction when Goldberg claimed that the Holocaust was &#8220;not about race,&#8221; critics quickly made it clear that they were not buying her assertions.
Guy Benson drove the point home during an appearance on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;America&#8217;s Newsroom,&#8221; saying at first, &#8220;I call that show a daily national televised insane asylum for a reason.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin claimed on Wednesday that black people in America were worse off than people living under Iran&#8217;s oppressive regime, a claim that was immediately challenged by others at the table.
During a broader conversation about the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, Hostin claimed that Israel&#8217;s strike on Iran had not been legal. Goldberg argued that the legality of Israel&#8217;s actions should be decided by international bodies like the United Nations. But when cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin suggested that they should consider the possibility that Iran was a bad actor, the whole conversation quickly went off the rails.

&#8220;Let’s just remember too, the Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings, they don’t adhere to basic human rights,” Alyssa Farah Griffin began.
&#8220;Listen, here&#8217;s the thing — let’s not do the — let&#8217;s not do that, because if we start with that, we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car,&#8221; Goldberg objected.
&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, but where the Iranian regime is today is nothing compared to the United States,&#8221; said Griffin.
&#8220;They used to just keep hanging black people!&#8221; Goldberg added.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not even the same,&#8221; Griffin repeated.
&#8220;Oh no! Oh, wait, wait, wait! That&#8217;s not what you mean to say! It is the same,&#8221; Goldberg declared.
&#8220;No, it&#8217;s not. The year 2025 in the United States is nothing like if stepped foot were this outfit in Tehran right now,&#8221; Griffin continued. &#8220;I can&#8217;t have my hair showing, I can&#8217;t wear a skirt, I can&#8217;t have my arms out.&#8221;
Everyone began talking at once, and Goldberg eventually broke through. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I am saying that it is the same. Murdering someone for their differences not good whoever does it.

&#8220;Not if you&#8217;re black,&#8221; Goldberg claimed.
&#8220;Not for everybody,&#8221; Hostin agreed.
&#8220;Not if you&#8217;re black,&#8221; Goldberg said again.
&#8220;Guys, don&#8217;t go to Tehran. No one at this table should go to Tehran,&#8221; Griffin insisted. &#8220;There are places much darker than this country.&#8221;

‘The View’ Goes Sideways When Two Cohosts Claim Black Americans Are Worse Off Than Iranians

Israel

Sunny Hostin

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; complained about President Donald Trump&#8217;s plan to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans — but as Whoopi Goldberg laid out her objections, it appeared as though her main objection was the fact that Trump was doing what Democrats had not been able to do thus far.
Goldberg started off the conversation during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast by asserting that Trump&#8217;s plan was bad because he had not yet specified which drugs he was talking about, nor had he explained which health insurance plans might be impacted by any new policies.
&#8220;Well, again, he didn&#8217;t specify which drugs he was going to target — or which insurance programs would be impacted,&#8221; she complained. &#8220;Because you see, if you&#8217;re going to lower the price of the drugs, you gotta first fix the broken insurance company,&#8221; Goldberg laughed. &#8220;Because they are — it doesn&#8217;t make any sense.&#8221;
&#8220;You know what though, I would think that you have to take money out of politics, too, because a lot of these guys in Congress, don&#8217;t they take money from pharmaceutical lobbyists?&#8221; Joy Behar asked. &#8220;I mean —&#8221;
&#8220;But there are lobbyists in other countries, too,&#8221; cohost Sara Haines pushed back.
Behar pivoted then to attack Trump&#8217;s appearance and weight, saying, &#8220;The guy has 153 rooms in the White House. He can&#8217;t have one mirror to look into? He&#8217;s always criticizing, &#8216;This one&#8217;s not a 10, this one&#8217;s a six, this one&#8217;s fat, this one&#8217;s — he said the friend is &#8216;highly neurotic.&#8217; Hello?

Griffin then said that her main issue with the plan was the potential for enforcement of lowered prices, which she said veered too close to Soviet-style price controls for her tastes.
Goldberg then responded by arguing that the infusion of socialism into the health care system — the raising of taxes on everyone to make sure that the government could absorb the costs of drugs so that those who needed medication were able to afford it — was not actually socialism.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not socialism,&#8221; she insisted. &#8220;It&#8217;s best for the country if everyone can afford their health care!&#8221;

Former President Joe Biden got only one question about his obvious cognitive decline when he made an appearance on Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; — and former first lady Jill Biden had to jump in and help him with his response.
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin, who typically identifies herself as a Republican despite <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-host-of-the-view-admits-to-fawning-cohosts-she-voted-kamala" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supporting</a> former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, took the most indirect route possible to the obvious question. Rather than basing it on hours and hours of speeches and public appearance where Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doocy-corners-karine-jean-pierre-who-ordered-white-house-officials-to-cover-up-bidens-decline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cognitive abilities</a> were clearly lacking, Griffin instead framed it around the numerous books that are now being written by insiders revealing what they knew and when they knew it.
&#8220;Since you left office, there have been a number of books that have come out, deeply sourced from Democratic sources that claim in your final year there was a dramatic decline in your cognitive abilities, in the final year of your presidency,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;What is your response to these allegations and are these sources wrong?&#8221;
&#8220;They are wrong. There&#8217;s nothing to sustain that, um, number one,&#8221; Biden began, before pivoting to give a rambling response that in no way addressed the point of Griffin&#8217;s question. &#8220;Number two, you know, think of what we were left with, we were left with a circumstance where we — uh — we had an insurrection? When I started, we — not since the Civil War.&#8221;
Biden then appeared to blame the pandemic — and one million dead Americans — on President Donald Trump, adding, &#8220;We had a circumstance where we were in a position that we — uh — well, the pandemic, because of the incompetence of the last outfit, end up over a million people dying, a million people dying. And we&#8217;re also in a situation where we found ourselves unable to deal with a lot of just basic issues and, uh, which I won&#8217;t go into here in the interest of time &#8230; and so we went to work and we got it done, and you know one of the things that, well, that —&#8221;
The former president appeared to lose his train of thought then, prompting Jill Biden to jump in and answer the question for him — and she tried to suggest that the authors of the books did not know what they were talking about.
&#8220;You know, one of the things I think is that the people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;And they didn&#8217;t see how hard Joe worked every single day. I mean, he&#8217;d get up, he&#8217;d put in a full day, and then at night he&#8217;d — I&#8217;d be in bed, you know, reading my book, and he was still on the phone, reading his briefings, working with staff &#8230; I think he was a great president.&#8221;

The hosts of ABC News&#8217; &#8220;The View&#8221; attempted to explain President Donald Trump&#8217;s use of tariffs — or the threat of tariffs — during Monday&#8217;s broadcast, and aside from a brief moment of lucidity from Alyssa Farah Griffin, got everything wrong.
Griffin opened the discussion by noting that Trump&#8217;s threats had already succeeded in bringing Mexico and Canada to the negotiating table — and that both had pledged to aid in his efforts to control the flow of illegal immigrants and lethal drugs across the border and into the United States.
She then pivoted to warn that she believed Trump might be moving toward a more isolationist policy, which she claimed could lead to American allies siding with China instead.

The hosts of ABC News&#8217; midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; aired what amounted to a collective temper tantrum on Tuesday, complaining about the fact that President Donald Trump had unshackled federal agents and tasked them with enforcing immigration law.
The broadcast began with regular host Whoopi Goldberg, who responded to actress Selena Gomez&#8217; tearful video claiming that her &#8220;people&#8221; were being attacked. Goldberg then falsely claimed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were indiscriminately sweeping up any and all illegal immigrants for immediate deportation.
Border czar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homan-ice-has-made-1300-arrests-including-pedophiles-gang-members-and-at-least-1-terrorist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Homan</a>, who spoke to NewsNation host Chris Cuomo last week, explained that the agents are targeting criminal aliens first — meaning those who have committed additional crimes beyond simply entering the United States illegally — but that because some of them are hiding in sanctuary jurisdictions, there have also been some &#8220;collateral&#8221; arrests.
Goldberg complained that the Trump administration was not beginning by deporting people who were already in prison because they&#8217;d been convicted of crimes. Joy Behar, ignoring the fact that they were American citizens and had already been pardoned, claimed that Trump couldn&#8217;t do that because he&#8217;d &#8220;have to send the January 6th people back too.&#8221;

Alyssa Farah Griffin weighed in then, noting that the American people would not be convinced by statistics as long as their personal experiences told a different story. She referenced the woman who was set on fire and left to die on a New York City subway — an act committed by an illegal immigrant who &#8220;never should have been in the country,&#8221; and Hostin attempted to rebuff her.
&#8220;They should care about the stats and the facts,&#8221; Hostin insisted.

'The View' Hosts Air Collective Temper Tantrum Over Trump Admin Deporting Criminals

Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro squared off on Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/the-view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; on ABC, taking opposite positions on former President Joe Biden&#8217;s 11th-hour blanket pardons for members of his own family.
Griffin and Navarro, both of whom self-identify as Republicans in spite of their support for far-Left former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race, argued over whether Biden had set a dangerous precedent on his way out the door.
&#8220;I was floored that Joe Biden pardoned his whole family, and let me tell you why,&#8221; Griffin began. &#8220;He&#8217;s either — the most charitable interpretation is the Titanic is sinking, I&#8217;ve got a life raft for my family, but anyone else who challenged Trump, you better swim or you&#8217;re drowning. That&#8217;s my most charitable interpretation.&#8221;
&#8220;And finally, he didn&#8217;t do anything to protect people who testified against Donald Trump unless they happened to be wrapped up with the police officers, and it sets a very dangerous precedent,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Now Donald Trump can basically advise staff and his family to do anything unlawful and then just issue a blanket pardon when he leaves office. I think it&#8217;s disgraceful and it&#8217;s going to harm his legacy.&#8221;

&#8220;Can I just say, I think comparing Biden&#8217;s pardons to Trump&#8217;s is like comparing apples to Volkswagens,&#8221; Ana Navarro cut in. &#8220;It does not seem similar to me because Joe Biden&#8217;s family, the people he pardoned on the January 6th Committee, have not actually committed crimes, he is trying to prevent them from spending the rest of their lives fighting the government, which is no easy feat.&#8221;
Navarro made no mention of the congressional investigation into Biden&#8217;s family members and their foreign business dealings, nor did she mention that less than two weeks earlier, Biden had said he had no intention of issuing pardons to anyone who had not committed any crimes.

Pardon

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; for the most part, were less than thrilled that a New York jury acquitted Marine veteran Daniel Penny on Monday in the death of Jordan Neely — who boasted an impressive rap sheet, and had been verbally threatening people on the subway before Penny stepped in.
Cohost Whoopi Goldberg began by arguing that Penny was somehow out of line when he went to a bar in Manhattan to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/attorney-speaks-out-patrons-celebrate-daniel-penny-at-nyc-bar-after-acquittal">celebrate his acquittal</a>. She added that she believed the overall outcome of the case was proof that the justice system had failed.
“He celebrated the verdict with his lawyer while Neely’s family was mourning the loss,” she said.

Goldberg went on to say that she was bothered by the fact that the Marine veteran had chosen to toast his freedom at a bar: “I don’t know that seeing them celebrating in a bar made me comfortable.”
She then addressed the verdict itself, arguing that it was a “failure of the court” that Penny was not convicted. She said that Neely’s behavior could have stemmed from his mother’s murder and argued that everyone — from the hospitals to the courts — had failed him.

Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/the-view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; on ABC News quickly spun out of control and into the second day in a row of televised post-election group therapy and coping for the hosts of the show.
The segment began with cohost Sara Haines praising Vice President Kamala Harris for her &#8220;inspiring&#8221; concession speech — which she did not make on Election Night and waited some 14 hours to deliver — and devolved almost immediately when Joy Behar claimed President-Elect Donald Trump&#8217;s win was proof that America&#8217;s checks and balances no longer worked.
&#8220;This country missed out on [Kamala&#8217;s] leadership. This country missed out on the leadership of moving forward, not going back, the leadership of someone that was trying to unify this country,&#8221; Sunny Hostin led off.

Kamala Harris

Alyssa Farah Griffin announced to her fawning cohosts on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; on Tuesday that, for the first time in her life, she had voted for a Democrat in a presidential election.
Griffin worked in former President Donald Trump&#8217;s White House but exited quickly in the aftermath of the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill — and despite still claiming to be a Republican, she has spent a fair amount of her time on the ABC midday talk show attacking Trump and any other elected Republican who stands with him.
On Tuesday, as Americans went to the polls to choose between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Griffin admitted that she&#8217;d crossed party lines to vote for Harris.
Cohost Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the conversation by asking Griffin how she felt about the election, and Griffin said she was &#8220;anxious but hopeful.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been — four years ago today, I was in the White House with Donald Trump on Election Night. I was there standing next to one of his cabinet officials when Arizona was called for Joe Biden and when it became increasingly clear that he was gonna lose,&#8221; she said, adding that she had believed he &#8220;deserved to lose&#8221; and had hoped that Republicans would spend the next four years &#8220;rebuilding&#8221; but without Trump. When that didn&#8217;t happen, she admitted, &#8220;For the first time in my life, I voted for a Democrat. I voted for Kamala Harris.&#8221;

2024 Election

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; responded on Wednesday to President Joe Biden&#8217;s comment — referring to former President Donald Trump&#8217;s supporters as &#8220;garbage&#8221; — by suggesting that the real problem was the Trump supporters who dared to object to the comparison.
Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the conversation, arguing at first that the reaction to Biden&#8217;s remarks — made during a CNN appearance that aired in direct competition with Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; campaign &#8220;closing argument&#8221; speech — amounted to an overblown &#8220;pearl clutch&#8221; from the political right.

&#8220;President Biden got a lot of blowback over these particular comments about you-know-who,&#8221; Goldberg began. &#8220;The president — current president — said something and then everybody lost their minds.&#8221;
Goldberg played the clip of Biden then, clearly referring to Trump&#8217;s supporters as &#8220;garbage,&#8221; and then pivoted to explain that, since Biden was quick to &#8220;clarify&#8221; what he&#8217;d actually meant, the reaction from those who&#8217;d been labeled &#8220;garbage&#8221; by the sitting President of the United States was excessive.

Biden explained that he&#8217;d been referring to the rhetoric rather than the people, Goldberg said, &#8220;but that didn&#8217;t stop our MAGA friends from seizing upon it. PEARL CLUTCH!&#8221;
Goldberg then suggested that Trump supporters — who were literally quoting Biden&#8217;s exact words — were the ones attempting to &#8220;spin&#8221; his comments.
Cohost Joy Behar weighed in a bit later, complaining that Republicans — after months of saying that Biden was cognitively impaired — suddenly wanted to take him at his word.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a self-described Republican who has spent most of her time on &#8220;The View&#8221; attacking Trump, said that regardless of interpretation, the optics were bad — and Biden&#8217;s comment had &#8220;stepped on&#8221; Harris&#8217; major speech, the one that was designed to tie a bow on her presidential campaign.
She then quickly backtracked to complain of an unfair double standard, saying that Trump&#8217;s supporters said nothing when Trump insulted people but then got offended when Biden insulted them.
&#8220;Deplorables did matter. That comment from Hillary Clinton did matter,&#8221; Griffin explained.
&#8220;It turned out she was right,&#8221; Goldberg interrupted, prompting a few laughs.

The liberal hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; found themselves &#8220;in mourning&#8221; and going through the various stages of grief during Friday&#8217;s broadcast as they recapped the disastrous debate between former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden.
The debate, which has reportedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-go-into-full-blown-panic-after-biden-debate-performance-swap-joe-out">caused panic</a> within the Democratic Party, showcased all of the frailty and confusion that conservative outlets have been pointing out in Biden — and put it on display in a way that very few have even attempted to excuse or explain away.
&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Joy Behar was one of the few, advising her co-hosts not to &#8220;get too depressed yet&#8221; — while Sunny Hostin said that she was &#8220;mourning&#8221; — and suggesting that his lackluster performance was just due to a cold giving him a hoarse voice.

&#8220;President Biden needs to step down and be replaced,&#8221; Haines said – and she suggested that perhaps his team knew that and had intentionally scheduled the debate early enough to replace him.
Saying that the debate had been &#8220;really hard to watch,&#8221; Haines went on to admit that Democrats had been working overtime to spin Biden&#8217;s age and cognitive abilities as less concerning than they really were.

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who worked in the Trump White House and now calls the former president a &#8220;threat to democracy,&#8221; said she was surprised by how badly the debate went for Biden.
&#8220;It was stunningly worse than I expected, the performance,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Biden&#8217;s performance was so bad it eclipsed everything Donald Trump said.&#8221;
She went on to claim that &#8220;Trump world&#8221; was afraid of anyone the Democrats could replace Biden with, and said that Biden &#8220;needs to put country before his own ambition and he needs to step aside and pass the baton.&#8221;

When it was Hostin&#8217;s turn to weigh in, she conceded that Biden had lost the debate. She then immediately pivoted to attack Trump, saying that Republicans should be the ones who had to get a new nominee.
Ana Navarro defended Biden, saying she was not ready to throw in the towel &#8220;until Joe Biden tells me he&#8217;s giving up.&#8221;

Fake conservative Ana Navarro asserts that Democrats are better humans than Republicans: &#8220;Democrats are exquisite. They&#8217;re precious. They&#8217;re idealists.&#8221;

Behar jumped in to defend Biden again, suggesting that the president was actually fine and that something about the debate had thrown him off.
&#8220;This is really unbelievable,&#8221; she said, showing a clip of him speaking at a debate watch party after it was all over and saying that he hardly resembled the man who had debated Trump.

Navarro suggests Biden could still pull off a win like Bush and Obama did after poor debate performances.
