Whoopi Calls for Mass Trump Protests: ‘Start Screaming’

Thursday, April 03, 2025

Before Donald Trumps inauguration, Whoopi Goldberg consistently took a tone of moderation and restraint, repeatedly promising to take a wait-and-see approach before losing her cool. But she had a remarkably different stance on Wednesday's (March 19) episode of The View. The first "Hot Topic" discussion of the day was, once again, Chuck Schumers decision to vote to keep the government open, which gave Donald Trump a legislative win and angered many members of his party. After a spirited discussion where the cohosts made many of the same points they did in prior episodes " particularly Sunny Hostin, who doubled down on her assertion that Schumer "caved" to Trump " and they debated some of the infighting that has resulted in the party, Goldberg shared a call to action to audiences who are displeased by what Trump is doing in the White House.

Democrats don't have what they need to get what they want done. So again, people have to get out and you have to march. You have to start making noise. This is now coming back to us. The only way people are going to hear how angry you are is if you get out there. We've done it " when people were being sent over to Vietnam, disproportionately, we got out there and we made noise, and we made a difference. We made a difference. We made a difference when it came to women's rights. We made a difference when it came to Black people's rights. If we don't get up and get out there and start making the noise, we have to make it's not going to change."
