Whoopi Goldberg Calls for Anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ on The View
On Thursday’s episode of The View, co-host Whoopi Goldberg issued a strong anti-Trump message, urging Americans to protest and “make noise” against President Donald Trump. The segment included a replay of Trump’s oath of office, which Goldberg used to criticize his leadership and alleged violations of constitutional duty.
Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin questioned Trump’s understanding of his role, citing the Fifth Amendment’s guarantee of due process, even for undocumented immigrants. Hostin, a former federal prosecutor, emphasized the legal and moral weight of the oath to uphold the Constitution.
Ana Navarro mocked Trump’s potential misunderstanding of the oath, quipping that he may have sworn to uphold the “constipation” or “confiscation” of the United States.
Goldberg ended the show with a direct call to action: “Remember, the resistance is real. You’re not alone.” She encouraged viewers to march and protest, comparing the current political moment to historic civil rights and women’s rights movements, warning that inaction could jeopardize programs like Social Security.
