NOMINEES: 

 

Sunny Hostin: Maduro’s Capture is “Piracy” and “Imperialism” 

“Isn’t anyone concerned about the fact that what we’re doing is almost piracy? It’s like imperialism. We’re going to another country and we’re taking their natural resources for ourselves. And on top of it, if we can do something like this, who is to say that Vladimir Putin, then, doesn’t go to Ukraine and arrest [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy?...Who’s to say China won’t go and take Taiwan over?”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, January 5. 

 

Whoopi Goldberg: We Don’t Have a Government! Will NATO Help Us?

“Where is everybody? Where is everybody else? We come to everybody’s aid. We help everybody. NATO, they came and helped us after 9/11. Where is everybody?...Where is the government? Do you realize we don’t have a government!” 
— Co-host Whoopi Goldberg on ABC’s The View, January 7. 

 

Chelsea Handler: Trump Administration Is “Curing Science Through Death”

“Frankenstein is up for Best Picture!...It is the story of a surgeon obsessed with curing death through science, unlike our current administration, which is obsessed with curing science through death.”
— Chelsea Handler hosting the Critics Choice Awards simulcast on the USA and E! networks, January 4.
