“The View” co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Ana Navarro bought right into a heated trade Monday over whether or not it’s time to begin “panicking” about President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Workplace.
Goldberg set off the anti-Trump Republican strategist after suggesting that viewers ought to spend the vacations and the six weeks main as much as Inauguration Day (Jan. 20) with their households or working – however not in a frenzy over the incoming administration.
“Listen, he makes lots and lots and lots of noise,” Goldberg, 69, mentioned of Trump. “He says he’s going to do all this stuff. … He does this to maintain you all in a panic.
“All we have to do from now until January 21st is be with our families. Be with our kids. Do our jobs. Make sure our checks don’t bounce. Make sure that we are taking care of ourselves and our families.”
“Whatever [Trump’s] going to do, he’s going to do. But do take our word for it. Things seem to move slowly,” the “Sister Act” star added, noting that the previous and soon-to-be president “didn’t come get” Hillary Clinton after beating her in 2016 for the White Home.
Navarro, 52, chimed in to counsel that Goldberg was talking from a place of “privilege.”
“We have the luxury of saying that because we’re legal. We are successful. We are — listen, if you are an illegal immigrant in this country, you’re not going to be not in a panic,” she mentioned.
“If you are a woman working for the Department of Defense, you have a right to be in a panic!” Navarro argued.
Goldberg fumed at her co-host — “Ana, you tell people to stay fraught and like this.”
“No! I’m telling people to prepare, Whoopi,” Navarro shot again. “I’m telling people to prepare.”
“Do you think they aren’t prepared? They are prepared!” Goldberg asserted.
Navarro argued individuals “can’t be relaxing and enjoying Christmas when winter is coming.”
“No! That doesn’t mean that,” Goldberg responded.
“Winter is here,” the actor and comic argued. “Winter has been with us, and my point is, we can lay down and do nothing for the next 15 days and then be freaking out for the next four or two years.”
Navarro returned to her unique premise that Goldberg and the opposite girls on set have the benefit of not needing to be in a panic.
“We’re in a privileged position that a lot of people who are going to be under his attack are not,” she countered.
The 2-and-half minute back-and-forth carried on as music signaling a industrial break was performed within the background.
“We don’t know what we’re panicking for,” Goldberg continued.
“They’re throwing 50,000 things at you to make you do this,” she added. “I’m saying don’t buy into that.”
“When we know what we’re fighting we’ll get out and fight.”
