Proving yet again that The View’s primary purpose was to be a propaganda mill with the objective of carefully curating the Democratic Party’s image for the ABC News audience, moderator Whoopi Goldberg spent a lot of time on Tuesday’s episode raging at newly elected Democrats for publicly infighting over House and Senate leadership. Obviously ignorant of how Congress worked, Goldberg demanded that they “handle your business” before electing their leaders.
After playing soundbites of far-left Democrats (who they supported) speaking publicly about opposing the leadership of Hakeem Jeffries (NY) in the House and Chuck Schumer (NY) in the Senate, Goldberg gave her “two cents.” She demanded to know “what are your plans for the first 100 days,” which wouldn’t occur until after the leadership fights were over.
Goldberg then issued her list of demands of things she wanted done first and that she didn’t want to hear anything disparaging of Democratic Party leadership:
May I just throw some stuff out for a second? Because I want Democrats to stay focused to bring down gas and grocery prices, restore funding for SNAP benefits, reunite the families that have been separated, reinstate all the government workers who were illegally fired, and undo the damage that DOGE did. Then I will listen to what you want and how you want it!
But right now, when you all get in there, you better get in there with a plan, don't be, I don't want to hear this, ‘well, should it be Chuck?’ I don't care who it is! I don't care who it is! We put you in there to clean house!
“I don't want to hear all this infighting because then you become the distraction and then you become no better than the Republicans were!” she shrieked.
As the Democrats start infighting over their House and Senate leadership, Whoopi Goldberg decries: "I don't want to hear this from you right now...We put you in there to clean house!"
She then gives them a list of demands someone handed her:

Fake Republican Alyssa Farah Griffin (37), who backed Jeffries becoming speaker, had to explain to Goldberg (70) that each chamber of Congress had to elect their leaders BEFORE they could move on to working on legislation, committee hearings, etc.:
GOLDBERG: I don't want to hear this infighting. I don't want to hear it right now because we did just celebrate a historic change, and I don't want --
FARAH GRIFFIN: They literally have to elect their leaders ahead of the new Congress. That's the reason.
GOLDBERG: They should keep that amongst them.
FARAH GRIFFIN: Amongst themselves. Silent ballot.
Whoopi continued to whine about Democratic infighting being conducted out in the open:

Goldberg is 70 and has been commenting on American politics via The View for decades. She should know this by now. She doesn’t care to actually learn because it doesn’t matter to her. Her only job is to make Democrats look good and promote them at every moment; that’s why she once claimed Jill Biden would make a good surgeon general because the facts don’t matter, only boosting Democrats does.
“Again, this is all stuff that we don't need to see how you make the sausage!” she shouted.
Goldberg pleaded with Democrats to keep their infighting out of the public eye and hide it from the American people:
I want to encourage Democrats we don't need to know all your business. We don't need to know. This is - this is one of the things young people, I feel, don't recognize. We don't need to know everything. We don't want to know everything. What we want to know is that you have our backs and you know what we're looking for you to do. If y'all can't figure out who you're going to vote for, that's on you but you'll get it done or you will remove - you'll go.
ABC News moderator Whoopi demands that Democrats hide their internal feuds from the American public:
"Again, this is all stuff that we don't need to see how you make the sausage! Okay? ... I want to encourage Democrats we don't need to know all your business! We don't need to… pic.twitter.com/gw2Ljomvor— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 10, 2026
“The Democrats need to get their stuff together and we don't need to know your business! Handle your business!” she shouted as she was played off and they went to a commercial.
Notice how Goldberg threatened that Democrats would be removed from office if they didn’t do what she said or fought over the leadership position, despite elections not happening for two years. Again, she’s completely ignorant and ABC doesn’t care.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: So here's - I just - This is my two cents. I know y'all feel like this. I don't want to hear this from you right now. I want to know what all of you are - all of you Democrats, what are your plans for the first 100 days? I don't care if you've been there forever or just got there. What are your plans?
May I just throw some stuff out for a second? Because I want Democrats to stay focused to bring down gas and grocery prices, restore funding for SNAP benefits, reunite the families that have been separated, reinstate all the government workers who were illegally fired, and undo the damage that DOGE did. Then I will listen to what you want and how you want it!
[Applause]
But right now, when you all get in there, you better get in there with a plan, don't be, I don't want to hear this, ‘well, should it be Chuck?’ I don't care who it is! I don't care who it is! We put you in there to clean house! To make sure that the government works the way the people want it to work. I don't want to hear all this infighting because then you become the distraction and then you become no better than the Republicans were! So, just get your stuff together! All of you!

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: I separate Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. Hakeem Jeffries will be the speaker of the House. He's going to be the first African American to ever be speaker of the House in American history. The only people who are even questioning him are the far-left of the party. Where goes the Congressional Black Caucus goes the whole Democratic Caucus. So, like, he's going to get elected.
Chuck Schumer I think should go the way of Nancy Pelosi. He should say, ‘I just delivered a historic victory for Democrats.’ He played influentially recruiting Roy Cooper, Sherrod Brown, Talarico, some of the best candidates. He poured money into Michigan, he poured money into Ohio. But say, you know what, that, I did my job and I'm going to pass the baton to the next generation of leadership. Cause I do - I want people leading who know what A.I. is and use it and are thinking about how they're going to regulate it. Like I just want that next person --
[Crosstalk]
GOLDBERG: You can have two things can be true at the same time. You can have old folks [points to herself of Joy Behar] -
[Laughter]
FARAH GRIFFIN: You can't be as old as Chuck Schumer, can you?
GOLDBERG: And we can have young folks. For me the point is, I don't want to hear this infighting. I don't want to hear it right now because we did just celebrate a historic change, and I don't want --
JOY BEHAR: Take a victory lap.
[Crosstalk]
FARAH GRIFFIN: They literally have to elect their leaders ahead of the new Congress. That's the reason.
GOLDBERG: They should keep that amongst them.
FARAH GRIFFIN: Amongst themselves. Silent ballot.

Whoopi: Again, this is all stuff that we don't need to see how you make the sausage! Okay? Need to know --
BEHAR: That's the problem -
[Crosstalk]
BEHAR: - we have enough sausage in politics.
GOLDBERG: Yes. Yes. Yes, but it's not - never mind.
It's - but I just - I want to - I want to encourage Democrats we don't need to know all your business. We don't need to know. This is - this is one of the things young people, I feel, don't recognize. We don't need to know everything. We don't want to know everything. What we want to know is that you have our backs and you know what we're looking for you to do. If y'all can't figure out who you're going to vote for, that's on you but you'll get it done or you will remove - you'll go.
SUNNY HOSTIN: And they can caucus quietly.
I will say, a union - the labor union that represents the IAM union - the labor union that reports 600,000 active and retired members sent a letter to Schumer asking him not to seek another term. And I think that is pretty significant when it comes from 600,000 members.
GOLDBERG: Well, it can come from - I don't care who it comes from. I don't care who gets the job done.
BEHAR: Just do it.
GOLDBERG: The Democrats need to get their stuff together and we don't need to know your business! Handle your business! We'll be right back.
