Whoopi Goldberg sparred with her The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin while balking at the notion that she should learn how to talk more effectively to Trump voters.

The heated exchange ignited when Griffin, the White House communications director under Donald Trump in 2020, said Democrats need to be willing to converse with Trump supporters to ‘find areas of agreement’.

Griffin resigned from her post about a month before the January 6 insurrection in 2021 and later supported Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

However, despite drifting away from Trump, she claimed she agrees with parts of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation policy framework that has shaped much of the second Trump administration’s aims.

‘If you hated Project 2025, that worked for you,’ Griffin said regarding common Democratic talking points on the campaign trail.

She added that for people who ‘liked some parts of’ Project 2025, Democrats need to be ‘willing to go to uncomfortable spaces’ to reach those voters.

‘You have to have conversations with people who disagree with you if you want to build coalitions to push back,’ Griffin said. ‘You’re going to find, there are a lot of things Donald Trump does that I agree with. But then there are things I think are dangerous, reckless and want to call out.’

Goldberg responded by saying it’s difficult to talk to people who voted for Trump because she said they ‘support people who think you don’t matter in the country.’

Griffin said Democrats need to be able to talk to people who voted for Donald Trump to find common ground and to meaningfully resist actions he takes as president that they disagree with

Whoopi Goldberg initially balked at that sentiment but later warmed up to it after getting pushed by Alyssa Farah Griffin

‘But it’s not supporting that person,’ Griffin said back to her.

‘No, no! No no! But when you support that person, it brings–,’ Goldberg said, before being cut off by Griffin.

‘But I don’t support that person, my point being, I don’t disagree with everything Trump is doing so we have to be able to have conversations,’ Griffin added.

At this point, Goldberg seemed to warm up to this point of view, saying: ‘Well, when we find the stuff that we agree on, that’s what we do.’

She said finding common ground with Trump voters should end when the president’s moves are ‘disagreeable to the majority.’

‘Now, I didn’t find anything of interest for me in Project 2025, I didn’t feel like this was geared to us as a nation,’ Goldberg added.

‘I felt it was geared to very specific folks and that that bothered the poo out of me. But I understand what you’re saying. And yeah, we do have to talk to each other. That’s the beauty.’

The anti-Trump hosts on ‘The View’ have had to tone down their political rhetoric ever since Trump won the election.

The ladies on ‘The View’ have had to be more careful since ABC, their home network, settled with Trump over comments made in March by George Stephanopoulos about the E. Jean Carroll case

Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar had to read legal notes on-air in late November after discussing explosive allegations against two of Trump’s cabinet picks, Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth.

The reason for the caution is because ‘The View’ is on ABC, the network Trump sued for defamation over remarks made by ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos.

In a March 10 interview with Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Stephanopoulos claimed Trump was found civilly liable for raping author E. Jean Carroll, when he was actually found liable of ‘sexual abuse.’

In December, ABC settled with Trump and agreed to donate $15 million to his future presidential library, plus an additional $1 million to cover his legal fees.

Stephanopoulos also was forced to issue a public apology expressing regret for the remarks.
