Whoopi Goldberg is not happy with the seven Democrats and one independent who she claimed “threw it the towel” by voting to end the government shutdown.
Goldberg made her feelings known during Monday’s episode of “The View” on ABC, per Mediaite.
The vote came down Sunday when enough Democrats voted in favor of reopening the government, effectively ending the 40-day shutdown.
Democrats were holding out in the hopes of continuing Affordable Care Act subsidies.
A video of Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) who caucuses with the Democrats, was played before the panel discussed the vote.
“So, I mean, you know. 50-50 chance of negotiating healthcare subsidies … I have no faith that they’re going to negotiate and come back to the table … we have seen, you say this is going to happen and then it doesn’t happen,” King said.
Goldberg chimed in and expressed her disbelief.
“People will get rehired, supposedly, federal workers, and reinstate SNAP benefits, but a 50-50 chance of extending the subsidies? I don’t believe it,” Goldberg said.
