Whoopi Goldberg slammed her “The View” cohost Ana Navarro for prematurely stoking fears about Donald Trump’s second term as president.
The daytime talk show’s panelists disagreed on how to speak about the president-elect after co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said she decided to tone down her rhetoric until she sees what Trump actually does once he’s in the White House.
Goldberg argued with Navarro after the frequent CNN contributor said “she’s not going to wait and see” what Trump does to warn others of the danger she believes he poses.
“There’s nothing to do until you know what you’re fighting,” Goldberg fired back. ‘Pissing in the wind doesn’t help! It just makes your face wet.’
Navarro had previously emphasized that Trump “has told us he is retaliatory” and “is going to be a dictator.”
Goldberg responded, “You lose credibility in a lot of ways,” with such rhetoric.
“If you don’t know what you’re talking about and you accuse him of something, they blow it back,” the Oscar winner said.
“That’s why I say we have to wait and see what exactly he’s going to do.”

It comes after Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin had an awkward meeting last week as the political debate turned tense.
Hostin, 56, was sharing her thoughts on Donald Trump’s decision to nominate WWE billionaire Linda McMahon as U.S. Secretary of Education when she and Alyssa Farah Griffin got into a war of words.
Referring to the voucher system, Hostin claimed: “What happens with vouchers, the studies show very clearly that they finance students who are already going to private schools. So people with money get those vouchers, use the vouchers to pay less for their private schools and their kids do well.
“A 2020 survey found that only about half of states with voucher programs required teachers to have a bachelor’s degree, required teachers to be trained, required teachers to be licensed,” Hostin continued, while Farah Griffin rejoined intervened and said condescendingly, “Maybe I’ll just come in and have a conversation about it.”
As Hostin continued to read statistics, former White House aide Farah Griffin continued to talk about her, saying, “I went to public school, I believe you went to public school… you have to go to private school.”

But Whoopi, 69, was not at all impressed and decided to intervene and fumed, “Okay, because no one can figure out what is being said here now,” as Hostin said, “One last point…”, and Whoopi shot back: ‘No, there isn’t a final one at the moment!
“We’re going to break and then we’re going to come back because what happens is no one can hear anything anyone says,” Whoopi added, while Farah Griffin argued: “I haven’t gotten a word in, she’s been talking for three minutes!”
But Hostin was keen to have the last word when she replied, “You spoke to the first two,” as the ABC program quickly went to a commercial break.
Following last month’s presidential election, ABC News executives are reportedly actively looking for a conservative, pro-Trump voice to join The View’s panel after all-star endorsements of Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
