Goldberg advocated for the Hot Topics table's right to express their opinions — often to the chagrin of conservative viewers.

Whoopi Goldberg isn't backing down from the haters of The View. On Thursday, March 13, Goldberg fired back at those who criticize the show, especially those who called for its cancellation because of the cohosts' political stances.

Whoopi Goldberg had a clear and to-the-point message for people who believe that the popular talk show The View should be taken off the air. During the Thursday, March 13 broadcast, the hosts talked about California Governor Gavin Newsom‘s recent podcast episode featuring controversial political figure Steve Bannon.

Of course, as moderator and a longtime member of the Hot Topics panel, Whoopi Goldberg is well aware her show has some dedicated haters, but she shared a message on today’s episode responding to people who want to pull The View off the air.

Whoopi Goldberg was on the red carpet at the 2025 Academy Awards for the first time in nearly a decade after missing two episodes of 'The View' due to illness.
