Co-host of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg, said Americans were having “temporary memory problems” as they discussed a Republican question about whether people feel “better off” than they did four years ago.
“So why do some people have short memory problems? There are many other reasons to feel good about where we are. Why is there no tracking?” she asked.
At the end of the talk show segment, Goldberg criticized the question and said it was “disrespectful to the American people.”
“Black people, we weren’t in this madness of trying to figure out why our history is no longer welcome in the education system. Women were realizing something was happening.
“All you have to do is ask are we better off than before? Ask the thousands of people who are no longer here. That’s how you’ll know if we’re better off. Ask their families. Are they better off without their loved ones? “What a stupid question. This is a stupid question and disrespectful to the American people in my opinion, in my humble opinion.”

“In addition to the Covid problem, which you know how incredibly serious and sad cost so many lives, I can tell you that I was receiving death threats. I was experiencing, a level of anxiety that I didn’t realize until after Trump left office because every day I woke up wondering what scandal, what horrible thing he was going to tweet about. What international incident would it cause? I mean, I couldn’t get away from the news. Now I enjoy playing Words with Friends and Fishdom,” Navarro said.
