“I stand in the back of her,” Goldberg mentioned of Underwood. “If I consider I’ve the proper to make up my thoughts to head carry out some position, I consider [she has] the similar proper. I’ve to enhance. It doesn’t imply I’m in particular . I gained’t be gazing, however that’s simply me.”

“The View” hosts are regularly outspoken with their disdain for Trump, such a lot in order that Goldberg refuses to mention his title live to tell the tale air. Hostin mentioned in November after Trump defeated Kamala Harris within the presidential election that she used to be “profoundly disturbed” by way of the effects.
