Not too many people are viewing The View anymore.
That has a lot to do with the insane takes from the heckling hens who host the show.
And now Whoopi Goldberg made a total fool out of herself with this head-scratching tirade against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
How RFK became Democrats’ most hated Democrat
The 2024 election cycle was full of game-changing moments.
From the intra-party coup and multiple assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump to the Vice Presidential debate and apparent cultural shift, Americans would be hard pressed to find a fictional political thriller with so many twists and turns.
It truly was a cycle unlike anything voters had ever seen before.
And there was one game-changer that broke in Donald Trump’s favor that must not be forgotten.
While President Joe Biden was Democrats’ nominee, the impact of Robert F. Kennedy as an independent candidate in the General Election made him a potential spoiler.
Polling seemed to indicate that Kennedy was taking from both Biden and Trump, but it appeared as though he was drawing slightly more support away from Democrats.
However, once Biden caved to his fellow Democrat elites and was replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris as a mulligan candidate, leftist voters began returning to the Party.
RFK’s impact on the race suddenly shifted.
Surveys indicated that Kennedy was largely taking votes away from Trump, and that his percentage of the vote in swing states could potentially swing the election to Kamala.
But Kennedy didn’t want to be responsible for tipping the election to the Harris-Walz ticket.
So he dropped out of the race with a speech excoriating corruption within his former Party and later that same day, appeared at a rally to endorse Trump’s campaign.
The rest, as they say, is history.
And for his role in helping elect Trump to a second term in the White House, outside of Trump and Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, there may be no one Democrats hate more than RFK.
RFK Jr. vs. Whoopi Goldberg
You can count the ladies of The View on the list of Democrats who can’t stand RFK, especially Whoopi Goldberg.
The self-proclaimed “comedian” isn’t a fan of Kennedy’s effort to Make America Healthy Again, particularly his priority of combating America’s obesity-induced chronic disease epidemic.

Kennedy recently targeted several factors he believes contributes to the unhealthy weight of many Americans.
He accused Big Pharma, the FDA, and Big Food of colluding to make kids fat so that they could then become addicted to unhealthy foods and be put on pharmaceutical “remedies” for life, significantly increasing profits for both pharmaceutical and food companies.
The message didn’t sit well with Goldberg, who claimed that RFK was engaging in so-called “fat shaming.”
The overweight View co-host took RFK’s comments personally, as she previously weighed 300 pounds and claims Mounjaro – a drug similar to Ozempic – helped her lose weight.
Whoopi claims people are genetically born with big bones and RAGES at RFK Jr. for “setting folks up for shame. That’s what you’re trying to do.”
She says eating healthy and exercising “doesn’t work for everybody” and she came down from nearly 300lbs with meds.

Goldberg even stood up and showed off her still overweight figure, and then in what sounded like a paid sponsorship, said that “this” wouldn’t be possible without Mounjaro.
She then went on a rant about the supposed “benefits” of such weight loss drugs that came off more like a commercial, completely ignoring the significant downsides.
Whoopi complained that Kennedy is not a medical expert and shouldn’t be giving “wrong” advice.
However, Goldberg made one statement that discredits her own credibility to be offering any weight loss tips.
“This isn’t just about food,” Whoopi claimed. “This is, sometimes, people are born genetically larger.”
Someone should ask Whoopi if the obesity epidemic is all a matter of “genetics,” why was obesity never a problem for humans until modern times?
And why are Americans suffering more from these supposed “genetic” issues than any other group of humans on Earth?
