The View, one of the most famed talk shows of all time, returned with an episode on Wednesday that focused heavily on the presidential election and how Donald Trump's win plays out in the minds of the people involved in the discussion. Whoopi Goldberg, the show's primary host, has already caused a wave around social media platforms after refusing to say Donald Trump's name in the show, just like she had claimed earlier.

Whoopi Goldberg, who had been ridiculed earlier for her liberal stance, is part of a panel in The View that primarily discussed how Trump's win affects Americans, especially women. She said on the show:

"He's now going to be president. And I'm still not going to say his name."

Goldberg's comments were met with negative reactions from netizens, who did not share her viewpoint. User @JayVtheGreat, for instance, said on X:

"It's time for this sh*t to end. I don't want to hear from Whoopi anymore. Or any of these hateful, bitter women quite frankly."

Other netizens also had similar things to comment, with many seemingly hateful comments.

"Dumbest show on TV….. Get some objective talent who don't race bait 24/7…" Another user commented.
"The consensus is clear: The View holds no sway w/ millions of Americans. We're sick & tired of all the hate sitting behind that semi-circle desk. / Period. / Go away." Another user added.
"Bunch of b*goted fat rich women who hate the working class. They consider anyone not sharing their point of view disgusting. All coming from a person that pretends to be someone else as their career handing out societal solutions," another user said.

The comments show how many netizens were agitated about The View's reaction to the election. The other hosts included Joy Behar, legal expert Sunny Hostin, CNN contributor Ana Navarro, Midwest moderator Sara Haines, and ex-Trump spokesperson Alyssa Farah Griffin.


What did Whoopi Goldberg say on The View?

Host Whoopi Goldberg had vowed not to say Trump's name on the show before. After the election swayed in favor of the Republican candidate, little has changed for the television personality.

Goldberg slammed Trump for calling The View hosts dumb following her interview with Kamala Harris. She emphasized that she sticks to her stance of never uttering Trump's name on the show.

Goldberg said:

"(Harris) did this in two months. Everybody can always say she should have done this, she should have done this. She was everywhere, she talked to everybody, and people didn't come out... I don't know why, and it doesn't even matter. He's now going to be president. And I'm still not going to say his name."

Other hosts in the show also discussed the impact of Trump's second stint, which perhaps aggravated the reaction towards the daytime chat show and its host, Whoopi Goldberg.
