Whoopi Goldberg isn’t really feeling former President Barack Obama right now. And now, she’s using her biggest platform to express why.
Suggested Reading
Goldberg shared her harsh words for Obama on Tuesday’s episode of “The View.” Her words were prompted by comments he made at a private fundraiser in New Jersey over the weekend where he accused Democrats of “whining” about Trump and all of his bad decisions. He also said that they need to change their messaging, stop looking for a “Messiah,” do a little less “navel-gazing” and “toughen up.”
She also mentioned an interview with “Shark Tank” entrepreneur and billionaire Mark Cuban who echoed similar sentiments as the president and decided to call both men out and explain the error in their messaging.
“Let me remind everybody who was out on the front lines marching, when we had the giant marches that went on. It was the people. The people went out. They were not navel-gazing, it was older people who were saying, ‘Why are you touching my social security?’” Goldberg said in response to the comments. “It was not people whining, it was about people saying, ‘Why are you taking these rights away from my child when my child was born here?’”
She later added: “This has not been about Democrats laying back. This has been about y’all. This has been about y’all because their [Democrats] messaging has always been the same. Democrats have been angry at what this man tried to do the last time, they’ve been angry this time. With much due respect to you both, you are pointing the finger to the wrong person when you say Democrats.”
Goldberg later expressed that folks like Obama and Cuban need to change their vantage point and realize that Democratic voters and the people who support their ideologies have been doing much more than just complaining about Trump. She also noted that the only people who need to switch up what they’re saying are folks like Obama and Cuban, and not those who’ve been on the front lines speaking out and showing up for the cause.
Neither Obama nor Cuban have responded to Goldberg’s comments. Check out the conversation below.
