Whoopi singing new tune on Trump criticism, tells Ana Navarro she’s ‘pissing in the wind’

There’s a clear feeling since the election of President-elect Donald J. Trump earlier this month that we are now living in a whole new world.

Add to that the news that MSNBC’s parent company, Comcast, is looking to spin the network off into a new entity, followed by Morning Joe “stars” Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski scurrying down to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Trump’s ring while promising a new approach to covering his presidency, and it’s clear we are not in Kansas anymore.

But no one could have predicted Whoopi Goldberg would suddenly be singing a new tune.

On Monday’s episode of The View, Whoopi admonished cohost and fellow harpy Ana Navarro, who pushed back when she said they would take a “wait and see” approach to Trump.

“I’m not going to wait and see. I mean, this guy has told us he’s doing retribution. He’s going to be a dictator,” Navarro countered.

“There’s nothing to be done until you know what you’re fighting. Pissing in the wind doesn’t help—you just get a wet face,” Whoopi fired back.

“What I’m saying is I have no false expectations that at 78, he’s going to, all of a sudden, turn into another human being. I spent weeks telling people that he was apocalyptic. I’m not going to change,” Navarro said.

The irony in Whoopi’s reply was clearly lost on her when she said, “You lose credibility in many different ways. If you don’t know what you’re talking about and you accuse him of something, then they’re going to blow it back. That’s why I say we need to wait and see.”

Social media users weighed in to suggest that Whoopi is likely afraid The View may be canceled in the new political environment created when the American people gave Trump a mandate at the ballot box.

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on Elon Musk’s free speech platform X:
