Whoopi Goldberg continues to refuse to say Donald Trump’s name despite his historic election victory, which her co-host has attributed to “uneducated white women.”
Goldberg, 68, has refused to say Trump’s name on The View since he first took office in 2016 and made it clear on the talk show yesterday that “that’s not going to change.”
Discussing the election results with her co-hosts, Goldberg expressed disappointment that “people didn’t come out” to vote for Kamala Harris.
But Sunny Hostin, who said she was “deeply disturbed” by the election result, argued that the Democrat ran an “impeccable campaign” and claimed that Trump’s victory was a “referendum on cultural resentment” in the United States.
He then blamed “uneducated white women” and “Latino men” for his victory, claiming that they voted for policies that will negatively impact them.
Whoopi Goldberg, 68, has refused to say Trump’s name on The View since she first took office in 2016, making it clear on the talk show yesterday that “that’s not going to change.”
Goldberg admitted in 2018 that he never says Trump’s name because he “can’t” bear to say it or call him “President.” Trump is pictured after his victory speech early Wednesday morning.
The View hosts, with the exception of Goldberg, dressed for a funeral Wednesday morning as they discussed their disappointment over the election results on the popular show.
Goldberg, who expressed his admiration for Harris and her campaign, shared how he wanted people to go to the polls.
“We told people ‘vote,’ we didn’t tell them who to vote for,” he told his co-hosts. ‘I didn’t tell people (who to vote for) because I wanted people to exercise that right. “Too many people I know died trying to vote.”
He praised Harris for rallying supporters and launching a wide-reaching campaign in a period of just “two months.”
‘She was everywhere. He talked to everyone and people didn’t come out, I don’t know why and it doesn’t even matter. Now he is the president. I’m not going to say his name yet. That’s not going to change.”
Goldberg admitted in 2018 that he never says Trump’s name, telling CNN’s The Ax Files that he “can’t” stand to say it or call him “President.”
But her co-host Hostin, 56, took her frustration a step further and blamed white women and Latino men.

“I think (Trump’s victory) had nothing to do with politics, I think it was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country,” he told the program.
‘Black women tried to save this country again, last night… what we don’t have are white women, who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump; as I understand it, uneducated white women. In fact, there are Latino men who vote more for him.”
She then asked ABC political news director Rick Klein: “So why do you think uneducated white women voted against their reproductive health freedoms and why do you think Latino men voted for someone who Are you going to deport the majority of your community?”
But co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, also sporting an all-black outfit, responded by saying, “I don’t think white women like being called uneducated white women.”
