Screencap of Twitter/X video.

On the ABC “News” program The View today, host Whoopi Goldberg complained about people who have been let go from the U.S. Military on Trump’s watch, then urged military members and their families to vote against Trump.

This open cheerleading for one party in the midterms is a clear violation of FCC rules, but that’s just the way things are on this show. They do it all the time and seem to pay no price for it.

It is also hilarious to hear Whoopi Goldberg and her cohosts acting as if they are big supporters of members of our military when it’s so clearly just about politics.

HAINES: One is running the country.

NAVARRO: And one is running the country too.

GOLDBERG: That’s right. And if you’re – If you’re a family of a soldier, if you have military in your family, you know what needs to be done. Because you can’t go around disrespecting the military. They do all the stuff we don’t do. We can’t continue to allow people to treat them the way they have been treated. There’s just so, so many things that we have to shift. And it’s — you know? And this isn’t right nor left. This is nobody wants this for their military. Nobody. Nobody wants this. It’s enough, I think. It’s enough. So, make sure you get out there and vote.

Every episode of The View right now is basically just a get-out-the-vote effort for Democrats.
