‘No No No!’ Whoopi Goldberg Not OK With Talking to Trump Fans Who Support ‘Someone Who Doesn’t Think You Matter’

The View host Whoopi Goldberg shot down the idea that she has to learn to talk to Trump fans, whom she says “support people who think you don’t matter in the country.”

View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin  — who resigned from the first Trump administration after January 6 and went on to vote for then-Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 election — has greeted the second Trump term with an effort at moderating her analysis of her former boss.

On Monday’s edition of ABC’s The View, Griffin professed agreement with many of Trump’s positions — including parts of Project 2025 — and said those resisting Trump “have to be able to talk” to the other side in order to find areas of agreement.

Goldberg wasn’t fully on board with the idea:

ANA NAVARRO: We need to have a way of reaching people, whether it’s social media, whether it’s a website, whether it’s what, so that people can understand what is happening. And I absolutely think we need to form alliances.

And we can’t just be groups, individual groups. Right? Because Latinos are super upset by the fact that he’s racially profiling as a party, portraying immigrants like everybody’s a criminal.

Arabs now and the people who sympathize with Palestine are super upset because he’s trying to treat it as a real estate deal.

Women, you know, African-Americans upset over the DEI stuff. He’s trying to dismantle willy-nilly, lGBTQ people.

Well, we all need to come together and show them that we’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: But people also have to get out of their echo chambers because like, everyone was like Project 2025, Project 2025. If you hated Project 2025 that worked for you, if you weren’t super clear, or you liked some parts of it, but not others. You have to–.

Democrats have to be willing to go to uncomfortable spaces–.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I think this is beyond Democrats and Republicans.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Yeah, you’re right, actually. And I don’t like the labels of all of this. I think most people are multifaceted and don’t just fit into one bucket, but you have to have conversations with people who disagree with you if you want to build coalitions to push back.

Because you are going to find there are a lot of things Donald Trump does that I agree with. But then there are things I think are dangerous, reckless and want to call out.

So you have to be able to talk to people who it doesn’t have to be all this or all that, but find fine movement on the things that matter.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: But I think it’s– It’s hard to talk to people who support people who think you don’t matter in the country–

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: But it’s not supporting that person.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: No, no! No no! But when you support that person, it brings–.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Right but–.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Go ahead. But I don’t support that person. My point being that I don’t disagree with everything Trump is doing. So we have to be able to have conversations. But we do agree on these things. How can we all get together on those issues.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: When we find the stuff that we agree on? That’s what we did.

But when we find the stuff that is disagreeable to the majority. Now, I didn’t find anything of interest for me in Project 2025, I didn’t feel like this was geared to us as a nation.

I felt it was geared to very specific folks and that that bothered the poo out of me. But I understand what you’re saying. And yeah, we do have to talk to each other. That’s the beauty.

That’s the thing. When people tell you who they are, you gotta believe them!

SUNNY HOSTIN: Believe them the first time!
