Why Whoopi Will Never Run for Office: ‘Don’t Vote for Me’

The View Struggles Without Professional Writers During Writers Guild of America Strike

The Writers Guild of America strike continues, leaving shows like ABC’s “The View” without a professional writing staff. This means the co-hosts must speak more for themselves, which has led to some communication issues.

On Tuesday, the panel discussed Sen. John Fetterman’s sloppy attire, which has been criticized by Republicans for being inappropriate workout clothes in the Capitol. Whoopi Goldberg made the mistake of supporting Fetterman’s unserious outfit by comparing it to her own fashion sense, claiming she would maintain her same style even if she were an elected official. However, this is not a persuasive argument.

Goldberg has committed some gaffes without having writers available to “slick up” her statements since the WGA strike started on May 2. Earlier in the month, she overshared about her personal choices regarding undergarments and even simulated a lap dance on co-host Sunny Hostin.

Based on such a record, Goldberg should be the last person to give an opinion on appropriate appearances. But in her zeal to support the Democrat tribe, she opened the topic of Fetterman attending a news conference while dressed as if he had just come off the playground with a defense of his attire.

The Mental Gymnastics of “The View” Crew

The mental gymnastics most of “The View” crew employed in trying to defend Fetterman were impressive. The hosts proved there were no embarrassing depths to which they would not sink to prop up their tribe.

Goldberg even went so far as to make Fetterman’s disrespect a sign of kinship between them. When her co-hosts tried to excuse her casual look as being uniquely hers, she responded that by releasing his inner slob, the senator was also Whoopi Goldberg.

She also made his tackiness a symbol of liberty: “He’s doing what the American dream tells you you can do. You can be you.”

Co-host Joy Behar changed the subject to smear Republicans with a straw man attack. “Leave it to Republicans to be outraged by a grown man in shorts than the fact that children are being routinely shot in schools these days,” she said, equating the rejection of unconstitutional and ineffective gun control schemes with indifference.

Alyssa Farah Griffin tried to speak out for professionalism, pointing out that because Fetterman is in violation of the dress code enforced inside the chamber, he is not even going inside the Senate to vote. That means he is missing out on an important part of the legislative process: the discussions that take place on the Senate floor.

Goldberg’s Hypothetical Campaign

Even though she is not running for anything, Goldberg went on to discuss her clothing choices if she were to find herself in elected office. “I would not change,” Goldberg said. “I tell you, you should never vote for me, because I’d be, this is just how I would look.”

Considering she often dresses like a clown wearing a tent, knowing she would keep the same fashion could ruin her hypothetical campaign with voters — if her radical leftist ideas were not already toxic enough.

Goldberg called a halt to the topic, claiming she did not want the panel called “the K word.” I assume she meant “Karens.” A better K-word for “The View” might be kakistocracy: rule by the least suitable and competent.

Conclusion

The hosts of “The View” have been struggling without professional writers during the Writers Guild of America strike. This has led to some communication issues and embarrassing moments, particularly for Whoopi Goldberg. The mental gymnastics employed by the hosts to defend Sen. John Fetterman’s sloppy attire were impressive, but ultimately unconvincing. Goldberg’s hypothetical campaign would likely be ruined by her fashion choices, which often resemble a clown wearing a tent.
