MUST SEE: Wacko Whoopi Goldberg Is Full Of Division
The hosts of The View have once again caused an uproar, this time by endorsing the idea of severing ties with family members who voted for President Donald Trump.
The controversial remarks were made during a segment that aired earlier this week, with co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg agreeing with advice from a Yale psychiatrist, Dr. Amanda Calhoun, who argued that it was “essential” to distance oneself from Trump-supporting relatives over the holiday season.
Dr. Calhoun, a psychiatry resident at Yale University, appeared on MSNBC’s The ReidOut, where she urged liberals to avoid family gatherings if their relatives had voted for President Trump. She argued that such a vote was an affront to one’s livelihood and morals.
“If you are going to a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, it’s completely fine to not be around those people,” Calhoun said.
Hostin, a staunch liberal and frequent critic of Mr. Trump, quickly agreed with this advice, calling it a “moral issue.” She claimed that the election of Donald Trump represented a unique kind of threat, one that went beyond politics and into the realm of character. “This is more of a moral issue for me,” Hostin explained.
“I think it’s more of a moral issue for other people.” She further suggested that President Trump fundamentally, was different from previous Republican candidates like George W. Bush, whose election she claimed did not feel as deeply troubling.
Hostin’s remarks were met with support from Whoopi Goldberg, who said she would not want to put her LGBTQ+ child in a position where they had to sit with someone who didn’t understand them. “I wouldn’t want to put my family in the middle of it,” Goldberg stated, implying that some political disagreements were insurmountable.
However, the co-hosts’ remarks have been widely criticized, particularly by conservatives who argue that their views reveal a fundamental lack of respect for family unity and the importance of individual freedom.
By encouraging family members to sever ties over political disagreements, The View hosts are playing a dangerous game, they argue, one that could have lasting consequences on family relationships across the nation.
Alicia, a viewer from Ohio, expressed her frustration, saying, “It’s one thing to disagree, but to call for people to break up their families over politics is just wrong. Families should be about love and respect, not division.”
This advice also overlooks the broader implications of such a divide meant for the nation. Conservative voices argue that The View hosts, with their elitist and hyper-partisan attitudes, are encouraging discord and division, rather than fostering dialogue and unity.
The View co-hosts have repeatedly demonstrated their disdain for Trump supporters, and this recent incident is only the latest in a long line of inflammatory rhetoric aimed at demonizing conservatives.
As many Americans are forced to make difficult decisions regarding handling their relationships with family during the holidays, these hosts prove they are more interested in sowing division than respecting the diverse political views in this country.
The conversation surrounding The View’s comments highlights a growing trend within liberal circles: the rejection of opposing viewpoints and the acceptance of a morally superior mindset that overlooks the importance of family ties. As America prepares for yet another holiday season, the question remains—are the hosts of The View encouraging people to act in the best interests of their families, or are they furthering a dangerous and divisive narrative that is only serving to deepen the political divide?
The hosts’ statements should serve as a stark reminder that those who claim to champion unity often are the ones sowing the seeds of division.
