In a fiery exchange on "The View," Whoopi Goldberg took aim at President Obama and entrepreneur Mark Cuban, expressing her discontent with their recent critiques of the Democratic Party.
Goldberg's remarks come at a time when Obama has re-emerged in the political arena, ostensibly to address the party's financial challenges, while Cuban has offered strategic advice on public engagement.
According to Gateway Pundit, Goldberg perceives the Democratic electorate as fully mobilized, pointing to the recent waves of protest as evidence. Her frustration is directed at Democratic leaders, whom she views as lacking in strengtha sentiment she believes is partially justified. Goldberg, echoing a common sentiment on the left, seems resistant to the notion that current strategies may be ineffective.
As reported by FOX News, Goldberg and her fellow co-hosts on "The View" responded to the criticisms from Obama and Cuban, asserting that the electorate has been proactive, while the fault lies with elected officials.
Goldberg passionately stated, "So, let me remind everybody who is out in the front lines marching when we had the giant marches that went on, it was the people, the people went out. They were not navel-gazing, it was older people saying, why are you touching my Social Security? It was not people whining. It was about people saying, why are you taking these rights from my child when my child was born here? This has not been about Democrats laying back. This has been about yall, because their messaging was always the same.
Goldberg's comments were in part a response to Obama's call for Democrats to "toughen up" during a recent political fundraiser. Obama emphasized the need for action, stating, "And its going to require Democrats to just toughen up. Dont tell me youre a Democrat, but youre kind of disappointed right now, so youre not doing anything. No, now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something."
While Goldberg's fervor underscores a broader frustration within the party, it raises questions about the efficacy of protests and marches in advancing Democratic objectives. Critics argue that such demonstrations merely highlight a lack of innovative ideas, a point that Goldberg and others may not fully grasp. As the Democratic Party grapples with internal and external challenges, the path forward remains a topic of heated debate.
