Whoopi Goldberg isn\u2019t holding back. <\/p>\n

The co-host of \u201cThe View\u201d had pointed words for former President Barack Obama following comments he made<\/a> at a private donor event Friday night. During the speech, Obama criticized Democrats for what he viewed as weak pushback against President Donald Trump, saying the party needed \u201ca little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining.\u201d <\/p>\n

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban also had his own critique of the Democratic Party. In a virtual speech aired during Tuesday\u2019s episode<\/a> of \u201cThe View,\u201d Cuban said Democrats were targeting \u201cthe wrong pressure points,\u201d adding that their messaging boiled down to: \u201cIt\u2019s just \u2018Trump sucks.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

These sentiments didn\u2019t sit well with Goldberg, who fired back at both men. <\/p>\n

\u201cLet me remind everybody who was out on the front lines marching, when we had the giant marches that went on. It was the people. The people went out. They were not navel-gazing, it was older people who were saying, \u2018Why are you touching my social security?\u2019\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cIt was not people whining, it was about people saying, \u2018Why are you taking these rights away from my child when my child was born here?\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

The EGOT recipient then directed her criticism at the Democratic establishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has not been about Democrats laying back, this has been about y\u2019all,\u201d Goldberg said. <\/p>\n

She went on to argue that Democrats have been consistently vocal and active in their opposition to Trump \u2014 and that the party\u2019s frustration is justified. <\/p>\n

Goldberg said Democrats have been \u201cangry\u201d throughout both of Trump\u2019s terms in the White House and, with \u201cmuch due respect,\u201d she believes Obama and Cuban are \u201cpointing the wrong finger at the wrong person.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whoopi Goldberg isn\u2019t holding back.
