Whoopi Goldberg still refuses to say Donald Trump’s name despite his historic election victory
Whoopi Goldberg still refuses to say Donald Trump’s name despite his historic election victory, which her co-host has blamed on “uneducated white women.”
The 68-year-old Goldberg has refused to mention Trump’s name on The View since taking office in 2016 and made it clear in the talk show yesterday that “that is not going to change.”
While discussing the election results with her co-hosts, Goldberg expressed her disappointment that “people didn’t come out” to vote for Kamala Harris.
But Sunny Hostin, who said she was “deeply disturbed” by the election results, argued that the Democrat ran a “flawless campaign” and claimed Trump’s victory was a “referendum on cultural resentment” in the US.
She then blamed “uneducated white women” and “Latino men” for his victory, claiming they voted for policies that would negatively impact them.
Whoopi Goldberg, 68, has refused to say Trump’s name on The View since he first took office in 2016 and made it clear on the talk show yesterday that “that’s not going to change.”
Goldberg admitted in 2018 that she never says Trump’s name because she “can’t bear” saying it or calling him “president.” Trump is pictured after his victory speech early Wednesday morning
The View hosts, with the exception of Goldberg, dressed for a funeral Wednesday morning as they discussed their disappointment with the highly popular show’s election results.
Goldberg, who expressed her admiration for Harris and her campaign, shared how she wanted people to come to the polls.
“We told people ‘vote’, we didn’t tell them who to vote for,” she told her co-hosts. ‘I didn’t tell people [who to vote for] because I wanted people to exercise that right. Too many people I know have died trying to vote.”
She praised Harris for rallying supporters and launching a far-reaching campaign in a period of just “two months.”
‘She was everywhere. She talked to everyone and people didn’t come out, I don’t know why and it doesn’t even matter. He is now the president. I’m still not going to say his name. That’s not going to change.’
Goldberg admitted in 2018 that she never says Trump’s name, telling CNN’s The Ax Files that she “can’t” bear to say it or call him “president.”
But her co-host Hostin, 56, went a step further and blamed white women and Latino men.

She then blamed “uneducated white women” and “Latino men” for his victory, claiming they voted for policies that would negatively impact them.
‘I think [Trump’s victory] had nothing to do with policy, I think this was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country,” she told the show.
“Black women tried again last night to save this country… what we don’t have are white women, who voted for Donald Trump by about 52 percent – uneducated white women, I understand. You actually have Latino men voting for him more.”
She then asked ABC News Director Rick Klein, “Why do you think uneducated white women are voting against their reproductive health freedoms, and why do you think Latino men voted for someone who is going to deport a majority of his community?”
But co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who was also dressed in all black, responded, saying, “I don’t think white women like being called uneducated white women.”
