As NewsBusters has documented, ABC News’s The View was mostly a vector to pump Democratic Party propaganda to the masses and they publicly embraced it multiple times. So it made sense that during Tuesday’s episode that moderator Whoopi Goldberg would get enraged at liberal Mark Cuban for saying that Democratic Party messaging needed to be more than just saying “Trump sucks” to everything, even when he was right about something. But, she did have a positive message to share on top of that.
Quickly reading though criticism from former President Barak Obama about how Democrats needed to stop “whining” and “navel gazing” and get tough, Goldberg played a soundbite of Cuban saying Democrats had “picked the wrong pressure points” and that “Trump sucks” was “the underlying thought of everything the Democrats do.”
“Okay. Yeah, okay. So, let me remind everybody who was out on the front lines marching when we had the giant marches that went on. It was the people. The people went out,” Goldberg bitterly proclaimed.
Goldberg essentially argued that the “Trump sucks” campaign message worked because people were protesting:
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 y'all. This has been about y'all, because their messaging was always the same. Democrats have been angry at what this man tried to do the last time. They've been angry this time. So, I – with much due respect to you both, I believe you are pointing the finger at the wrong person when you say Democrats.
Whoopi has a message for those who say the people in Texas got what they deserved with the floods: "Damn you. Damn you."

"People are trying to get their lives together. These floods are no joke. This is not light humor," she declared. "This is not how we do in America. We show up… pic.twitter.com/NAKTpRLxrT
“And when you say Democrats he's talking to us saying our messaging is bad and I'm saying, no, our messaging has not been bad because people have been out,” she shouted.
As for how such a supposedly successful message didn’t win Democrats the presidential election just last year, Goldberg didn’t offer any words in her tirade. Although, she likely would echo her previously floated, baseless conspiracy theory that President Trump somehow rigged the election.
Once Goldberg calmed down later in the segment, she went to a commercial break by speaking some sense and condemning those on the left who ghoulishly proclaimed that Texas residents deserved to die in the floods because of their politics. “[P]eople are blaming the people who died in the floods and they're saying, ‘Why should I give to you? You voted for this,’” she told the audience.
Goldberg had a message for those people: “Damn you. Damn you.”
“You know, you can't blame anybody for these floods. It's nobody's fault. I didn't do it. You didn't do it. Has nothing to do with Washington. This was what happened. This was a natural disaster,” she argued. “People are trying to get their lives together. These floods are no joke. This is not light humor.”
On those who were stepping up to help, Goldberg commended them for living up to being American: “We show up for whoever is in trouble. We don't say, who did you vote for? We don't say, who did you vote with? We show up.”

MARK CUBAN: Trump says, you know, the sky is blue, Trump sucks. You can't -- that's not the way to win. It's just not, because it's not about Trump. It's about the people of the United States of America and what's good for them, and how you get them to a place where they're in a better position.
[Cuts back to live]
[Applause]
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Okay. Yeah, okay. So, let me remind everybody who was out on 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 y'all. This has been about y'all, because their messaging was always the same. Democrats have been angry at what this man tried to do the last time. They've been angry this time. So, I – with much due respect to you both, I believe you are pointing the finger at the wrong person when you say Democrats.
SARA HAINES: Are you delineating between voters and elected officials?
GOLDBERG: Yes, I am.
HAINES: Because I agree. Voters are very impassioned.
GOLDBERG: Yes. Voters – And when you say Democrats he's talking to us saying our messaging is bad and I'm saying, no, our messaging has not been bad because people have been out.

ANA NAVARRO: And, yeah, okay, so some of us say Donald Trump sucks. He does suck, and it feels good to say it!

GOLDBERG: I also want to point something else out that maybe people don't realize is happening. You know, with all the floods that are happening in Texas, we generally give money to different agencies. And agencies are finding that they're not getting the money, because people are blaming the people who died in the floods and they're saying, “Why should I give to you? You voted for this.”
Let me tell you. Let's be really clear.
SUNNY HOSTIN: Wow.
GOLDBERG: Yeah, yeah, and it's unbelievable, but it's happening. And so I just want to be really clear. You know, you can't blame anybody for these floods. It's nobody's fault. I didn't do it. You didn't do it. Has nothing to do with Washington. This was what happened. This was a natural disaster, and if you are writing on people's socials where you should be giving, if you're saying these kinds of things, damn you. Damn you.
[Applause]
People are trying to get their lives together. These floods are no joke. This is not light humor. This is not -- this is not how we do in America. We show up for whoever is in trouble.
[Applause]
We don't say, who did you vote for? We don't say, who did you vote with? We show up.
