Whoopi Goldberg Rants Against Obama For Telling Democrats To ‘Toughen Up’

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg complained on Tuesday that former President Barack Obama called on Democrats to “toughen up” as they retaliate against President Donald Trump.

Obama scolded his own party for “navel-gazing” and “whining” about Trump rather than properly standing up to his policies during a private event with donors on Friday, according to The New York Times. In response, an exasperated Goldberg said that Obama and billionaire Mark Cuban, who has also been critical of the Democrats’ reactions, are “pointing the finger at the wrong person” when they should be criticizing their own messaging.

“So, let me remind everybody who was out on the frontlines marching when we had the giant marches that went on,” Goldberg said. “It was the people. The people went out. They were not navel-gazing, it was older people who were 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 lying back, this has been about y’all. This has been about y’all, because their messaging was always the same. Democrats have been angry about what this man tried to do the last time, and they’re angry this time. So, with much due respect to , I believe you are pointing the finger at the wrong person when you say Democrats.” (RELATED: Whoopi Goldberg Believes Black People In America Suffer The ‘Same’ Abuses As Women, Gay People In Iran)
