Sometimes something comes across the screen that’s so ridiculous that it requires a double-take – and then a triple-take. When Whoopi Goldberg is involved, sometimes it’s a quintuple-take. Case in point: On Wednesday, on “The View” (That’s still on? Who knew?), Whoopi called out her fellow Democrats during a discussion of Kamala Harris’ new (ghost-written) book, claiming that the 2024 election may have turned out differently, had the Democrats just “…kept their mouths shut” about “Autopen Joe” Biden’s decline.

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg lashed out at Democrats on Wednesday while discussing an excerpt from former Vice President Kamala Harris’ new book and insisted they should have “kept their mouths shut” about former President Joe Biden’s decline.  

“If the Democrats had kept their mouths shut and looked like, hold on, hear what I’m saying, if they had kept their mouths shut and took care of this in-house, as opposed to making it a public spectacle, I think people would have had a better feel about it,” Goldberg said.

So… she’s saying that the Democrats should have worked harder to cover up the mental and physical decline of a man who was, at the time, President of the United States – a man who was ostensibly Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, a man with the authority to order the release of nuclear weapons? 

That actually made my brain hurt. But that’s not uncommon when one is watching “The View.” Oh, Whoopi wasn’t the only one performing in Nitwits on Parade; her co-hosts were also true to form:

Co-host Joy Behar jumped in and blamed sexism, arguing that the country would “never elect a woman.”

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said she disagreed with Goldberg. 

“I don’t believe the political parties should have a say in who is a nominee and who is elected,” Griffin said. “There’s no primary when there is a sitting president. And 75% of voters said they thought that Biden may be fine when in office, but was too old for another term. That’s voters’ only way to say ‘I have an issue.’”

Co-host Sunny Hostin agreed with Harris’ argument that the stakes were too high regarding Biden’s decision to run again.

Sexism had nothing to do with Kamala “Queen of Word Salads” Harris losing that election, just as sexism had nothing to do with Her Imperial Majesty Hillary I, Dowager-Empress of Chappaqua, losing the 2016 election. Both of them were terrible candidates. Both of them were grating, abrasive, and unbearably smug and self-righteous, although we have to give Her Imperial Highness an edge in the smug department. Both of them were, politically, far too far to the left of the American mainstream. 

The American voters would certainly elect a woman president if she were up to the job. Tulsi Gabbard keeps drawing mention as a GOP vice presidential candidate in 2028, which would put her in the running for the top spot in due course. That would have to really sting the Democrats, since Tulsi not only once ran as a Democrat but she is also the one who, in the 2020 Democratic primary debate, defenestrated Kamala Harris over one debate question. Kamala dropped out before one vote was cast; Tulsi is now 1) a Republican, and b) President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence.

No, sexism had nothing to do with it. That’s just the usual fallback position for these people; they can’t blame their bad candidates; it’s just that they actually think that the American people are too biased, too dumb, and too sexist to know what’s good for them.
