A Question of Loyalty
Whoopi Goldberg’s spirited comments on “The View” have raised eyebrows as she labeled the GOP “brain dead” for its unwavering allegiance to Trump.
What else is new?
She questioned why the party continues to act as though Trump still holds power, despite his tenure in the White House ending. This critique came amid discussions of recent misleading claims by Trump, such as accusing President Biden of ignoring calls for hurricane relief—a claim Biden denied.
In reality, Goldberg doesn’t seem to understand that presidents are still referred to as “president” even after they leave office. She needs to understand and get over that.
The GOP’s steadfastness in Trump-era ideologies, Goldberg suggests, hinders the party’s political evolution. As if she cares. And, she implored the GOP to move beyond Trump’s shadow and seek a future narrative that reflects the changing political landscape.
Hurricane Helene and Political Tensions
The public discourse intensified with the politicization of Hurricane Helene, where Trump accused Biden of ignoring Georgia’s relief efforts. Biden was quick to refute these claims, emphasizing his communication with Governor Kemp and lambasting Trump for spreading misinformation. This incident drew attention to the potential dangers of fear-based politics—something Sarah Haines of “The View” highlighted as neglectful of actual hurricane victims.
“Well, it’s really important to remind people that this man is not the president,” she declared before they rolled tape on the situation. “He has nothing to do with what the president’s getting done, right? And I’m just a little sick and tired of him acting like he’s got something to say.”
Goldberg and co-hosts decried Trump’s visit to Georgia as a politically motivated photo op, which they argued detracted from actual recovery efforts. Alyssa Farah Griffin called these visits disruptive, suggesting they strained already overwhelmed resources in the battleground states of Georgia and North Carolina. The segment included survival stories from Hurricane Helene, which claimed over 100 lives and left many missing.
Trump can’t do ANYTHING right to these people.
