Whoopi Goldberg Calls Out Obama, Mark Cuban for Daring to Criticize Democrats: ‘Pointing the Finger at the Wrong Person!’
Whoopi Goldberg took aim at both former President Barack Obama and billionaire Mark Cuban over their recent jabs at the Democratic Party.
On Tuesday’s The View, Goldberg covered comments from both Obama and Cuban in which they tore into Democrats over their current strategy under President Donald Trump. Speaking at a New Jersey fundraiser, Obama argued Democrats need to quit “whining” and “navel gazing,” while Cuban told Pod Save America that the party has been too reliant on a “Trump sucks” strategy, which is not winning over voters.
Goldberg ripped into both men, defending Democrats and the party’s messaging to voters.
“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!” Goldberg said. “It was older people who were saying, ‘Why are you touching my Social Security?’ It was not people whining. It was about people saying, ‘Why are you taking these rights from my child when my child was born here?’ This has not been about Democrats laying back.”
The comedian and actress argued that the criticisms from both men were directed at voters and not pundits like herself.
“Democrats have been angry at what this man tried to do the last time. They’ve been angry this time. So, I — with much due respect to you both — I believe you are pointing the finger at the wrong person when you say Democrats,” Goldberg said.
She clarified she was talking about voters and not representatives in her defense.
“When you say Democrats, he’s talking to us, saying our messaging is bad,” Goldberg said. “And I’m saying, no, our messaging has not been bad because people have been out!”
