Leaving\u00a0<em>The View<\/em>? Anyone who thinks that\u2019s a possibility is, frankly, in danger, girl.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The EGOT-winning actress responded to the talk show\u2019s conservative haters \u2014 many of whom flood social media with daily wishes for the show to be canceled \u2014 during an impassioned speech on Thursday\u2019s episode, after the panel discussed California\u2019s governor, Gavin Newsom, recently engaging with political opponents and\u00a0voicing his opposition\u00a0to trans women playing women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cPeople assume that we believe whatever they believe that we believe,\u201d Goldberg said, wrapping up the chat about reaching out to those with differing views. \u201cPeople believe that they know everything I think and believe. They don\u2019t. One of the ways you learn what people believe is to hear them talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Goldberg then turned her focus to the show\u2019s critics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cOne of the things people would love to see, people always say, \u2018You should take\u00a0<em>The View<\/em> off television.\u2019 You know why? Because we give you an opportunity. We don\u2019t tell you what to think, we say, \u2018This is what I think,&#8217;\u201d Goldberg continued. \u201cWhen we do that, that is how you have the dialogue. It\u2019s not personal, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She added that \u201cit becomes an awful thing when people become personal about you or your family,\u201d calling that kind of \u201cname-calling\u201d the \u201cdifference\u201d between other discourse and what happens at\u00a0<em>The View<\/em>\u00a0table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe don\u2019t do that here. Other people do it to us and would like to think that that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing to them. But we\u2019re not,\u201d Goldberg said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Still,\u00a0<em>The View<\/em>\u00a0regularly makes\u00a0headlines for its cohost clashes\u00a0\u2014 some of which have become particularly heated among the current cast.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/1CUpAhuugOUHFCqGZBn_8Q--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MQ--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/entertainment_weekly_785\/dc23e1ae7d61e01524947ce26da835a7\" alt=\"ABC 'The View' cohosts\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-nimg=\"1\"\/><button class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" aria-label=\"View larger image\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-rapid_p=\"13\" data-v9y=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>ABC<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The View\u2019 cohosts<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In\u00a0June 2023, Republican panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin\u00a0engaged in a vicious back-and-forth with Sunny Hostin over disagreements about Donald Trump, for whom Griffin worked at the White House in 2019.
