Whoopi Goldberg Tried To Relate To Viewers By Saying That She Is Also “Having A Hard Time” Financially, And Can’t Afford To Stop Working On “The View”

The 69-year-old star made the comments during Tuesday’s episode of the ABC talk show, which she first joined back in 2007.

The panel were discussing the results of last week’s presidential election, and Sara Haines — who voted for Kamala Harris — acknowledged that she was trying to understand why working-class people voted for Donald Trump with the belief that he will make things better for them. 

“There were millions and millions of people who felt heard [by Trump], and that’s what I’m trying to walk into,” she explained. 

As tensions began to rise between the women, Whoopi interjected to suggest that she can resonate with the plight of struggling Americans.
