The View: Whoopi Goldberg And Others Regularly Dive Into Politics
With a show like The View, the controversial views often come out when the panel starts talking about anything political. Religion and politics have been topics of contention throughout history, and that is no different on this talk show.
While most of the panel tends to lean similarly when it comes to political ideology, every once in a while, the claws come out amongst the co-hosts, and they tear into each other over certain views. It turns out, this is what happened recently between Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The View Panel Discusses Joe Biden Pardoning Son
While most of the panel on The View lean left, Alyssa Farah Griffin is an exception. She is conservative and also a republican. In recent discussion on the talk show, she said: “Most Americans, if they face consequences for actions that they took, they’re going to have to face them, and nobody powerful and politically connected is going to come sweep in and save them. This feeds the notion to a lot of this country that there’s simply a different set of rules for those in power.”
As this is one of the most contentious topics around the country right now, it’s not surprising that so many people are talking about it, including the ladies of The View. While everyone had their say, Whoopi chimed in with some biting remarks of her own.

Whoopi Goldberg has made her many controversial opinions known over the years, whether people have asked for them or not. On this recent topic of Joe Biden pardoning his son, she had plenty to say on the matter as well, once most of the panel weighed in.
Whoopi said: “That’s what presidents do every time. They do it every time, they pardon somebody, so I’m not sure why the pearl-clutching is happening now.”

Whoopi continued, adding: “It’s a precedent for all of us to open our eyes because we’ve elevated someone who is in a similar situation who didn’t have a drug problem who knew what he was doing. I think Biden had no intentions of pardoning Hunter. I think the more stuff went down, he said, why am I busting my behind to stay straight and do this when no one else is doing it?”
Ushering the panel to move on, Goldberg said: “I can’t believe this is what’s freaking people out.”
