During the Monday edition of ABC’s The View, moderator Whoopi Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin made it obvious that they wanted to take their ball and go home three weeks after Donald Trump became president-elect for the second time. The sore losers suggested the election results proved that America hated the existence of black women and that the election supposedly happened without their personal input.
Hostin, who’s claimed the election results were due to America’s racism, Latino misogyny, and “uneducated white women,” once again delved into toxic identity politics to huff that black women (“the backbone of the Democratic Party”) like her were “very disappointed” in America.
Quoting and agreeing with comments from far-left liberal activist LaTosha Brown, Hostin proclaimed that black women were “re-evaluating how they want to engage in this democracy.”
She bloviated that black women feel like America hates them personally:
And LaTosha said this this weekend: “America is going to have to save herself.” She said, “people can rely on black women to lead change, but the next four years will look different. That's not a herculean task that’s for us. We don’t want that title. I have no goals to be a martyr for a nation that cares nothing about me.” And I think a lot of black women are feeling that way.
Anti-Trump Republican Alyssa Farah Griffin, who has been trying to claw her way back into the good graces of the Republican Party since Trump won, wanted them to stay away from the “apocalyptic” rhetoric about the incoming Trump administration.
She opined about how she was “root[ing] for America” and their doomsaying predictions weren’t real:
The American system of government is strong. It's held. There are checks and balances even if my party's in control of the House, the Senate, and the presidency. And I think we should root -- I root for America, so I root for a smart, serious Donald Trump presidency, and I root for pushback when he doesn't do things that are smart and serious.
“I think all those things are great to dream about,” Goldberg scoffed at rooting for America.
Despite making up insane lies like Trump wanting to redistribute white spouses from interracial marriages, having Vice President Kamala Harris on the show and introducing her “the next president of the United States,” headlining a Broadway rally for Harris, and supposedly voting, Goldberg claimed – like a supreme-sore loser snowflake – that “this process was handled without me.”
Goldberg went on to whine about people calling her out for constantly peddling toxic identity politics. She defended herself by arguing that others supposedly did it to her first, so she had no choice:
Yeah, because the things I was looking for – and I listen to people make fun of it. ‘It's not about race. It's not about misogyny.’ It is for me. It is for me because that's how you see me first. So that's how I have to respond to you.
Earlier in the segment, fake Republican Ana Navarro spoke about when a future leftist resistance movement to Trump would mobilize. “I think a lot of us are still apoplectic that America voted against a qualified woman again and put in, you know, this -- this racist, misogynist, and they don't care,” she decried. “So, I think people are exhausted. I think they are looking at, you know, taking care of themselves before they take care of America.”
According to her, before they could really launch their resistance movement they needed to "take some bubble baths for a little bit." “I got to breathe. My mental health has got to be in a good place. My physical health has got to be in a good place,” she said.

ANA NAVARRO: This does feel different than 2016. In 2016, at this time, the Women's March was being planned. That began getting planned the election night, and it began with a Facebook post of a housewife in Hawaii, and it turned into millions of women marching all over the country the day after the inauguration.
I think – Look, we're all eight years older. I think a lot of us are still apoplectic that America voted against a qualified woman again and put in, you know, this -- this racist, misogynist, and they don't care. And so, it’s like – So, it's tiring. It is exhausting. It is disappointed.
I think this election cycle was an emotional roller coaster, right? We had Joe Biden, the debate, two assassination attempts, Kamala coming in and running hard, leaving it all on the field for 107 days, and then we thought she was going to win like we did with Hillary in 2016, and she didn't. So, I think people are exhausted. I think they are looking at, you know, taking care of themselves before they take care of America. Right?
I got to breathe. My mental health has got to be in a good place. My physical health has got to be in a good place. That doesn't mean we're going to tune out for four years, but it means we're going to take some bubble baths for a little bit.
SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah. I think that's true.
[Applause]
There were a couple of articles over the weekend about how black women in particular, were dealing with this because we know that 9 out of 10 black women voted for Kamala Harris, and that historically black women are sort of the backbone of the Democratic Party. Right? And so 92 percent of black women voted for Kamala Harris. So, you have 92 percent of black women, very disappointed and feeling some of the things that you are feeling [gestures to Navarro].
So, I think people are taking a moment to take care of themselves. Self-care is really big. I think they're also re-evaluating how they want to engage in this democracy. She's a friend of mine, but LaTosha Brown is also the co-founder of the national voting rights group, Black Voters Matter.
And while a lot of people said Stacey Abrams was sort of the architect of Georgia going blue. It was actually LaTosha brown that was on the ground. And Stacey Abrams has admitted that.
And LaTosha said this this weekend: “America is going to have to save herself.” She said, “people can rely on black women to lead change, but the next four years will look different. That's not a herculean task that’s for us. We don’t want that title. I have no goals to be a martyr for a nation that cares nothing about me.” And I think a lot of black women are feeling that way.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: The American system of government is strong. It's held. There are checks and balances even if my party's in control of the House, the Senate, and the presidency. And I think we should root -- I root for America, so I root for a smart, serious Donald Trump presidency, and I root for pushback when he doesn't do things that are smart and serious.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Yeah. I think all those things are great to dream about, and –
[Laughter and applause]
They're great, but --
FARAH GRIFFIN: I mean, we can take bubble baths for four years, or we can just engage in the process.
GOLDBERG: As I've always said, you know, this process was handled without me.
HOSTIN: Yeah.
GOLDBERG: Yeah, because the things I was looking for – and I listen to people make fun of it. ‘It's not about race. It's not about misogyny.’ It is for me. It is for me because that's how you see me first. So that's how I have to respond to you.
And I don't think this is what you're saying. I want to be really clear because you know how they like to always put us, oh, and she was mean to her.
HOSTIN: Yes.
GOLDBERG: I understand all the things you want to see him be. I understand all the things that he promised he would be, and he wasn't, nd now that he has been given carte blanche, I'm not going to waste a lot of time on what he might do. I'm going to -- I'm going to wait because I need to see what he will do so that I know what I'm going to do.
