Whoopi Goldberg On 'The View': The 'War On Christmas' Is 'B.S.'

Whoopi Goldberg To Meghan McCain On 'The View': The 'War On Christmas' Is 'B.S.'

(exerts)
It’s ... August, but the women of “The View” are already debating whether the so-called “war on Christmas” exists ... Things got heated Wednesday after the co-hosts watched a clip of Trump claiming his election made it safe for people to say “merry Christmas” again.

McCain said their (“The View”) debate proved the “war on Christmas” was real ... “The idea that somehow I’m being insensitive or intolerant by saying ‘merry Christmas’ to someone is where this comes from and why Trump’s brilliant to do it,” McCain said.

Whoopi Goldberg said she preferred to say “happy holidays” in December because not everyone she meets is Christian. Meghan McCain pointed out that Goldberg’s response fueled the argument that the “war on Christmas” was real.

(Goldberg)
“If I’m comfortable saying ‘happy holidays’ because I’m not sure, or I say ‘merry Christmas’ to people I know are Christians. It’s not a war. … It’s me trying to figure out what I want to do,” she said. “But you can’t tell me what I should be doing. You can’t tell me I’m at war with you because I’m not saying ‘merry Christmas.’”

carries on about Merry Christmas. I find it unbelievable that it matters to anyone whether someone says Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. In reality Christmas has become a retailers holiday where they have hopes of being put into the black on their ledger sheets.i would think it would make them more "Happy" than "Merry".

I notice that Meghan McCain is more and more each day interrupting
and talking over the other ladies on the show,
and pouts more when they disagree with her.

I watch it for Joy and Whoopi.

Meghan thinks she is so brilliant and knows what The Democratic Party is doing and they are wrong. Every time she spews one of her lies, notice she has to drink out of her cup to hide her smirk? She is an out of touch rich girl who has no real reality in her bubble of repuke world.

I was so mad yesterday how she interrupted Joy and that Sarah was leaving. I heard that Meghan was rude to Sarah privately and that’s one if the reasons she left. I’m so close to stop watching this show.

The sip every time she drops her turd comment OR when someone hands her one. I bet she has to use the restroom a lot.

that saying this to someone might not be inclusive. No one was going to tell her that she isn't being inclusive.

And people say Trump supporters are dumb.

Neither Gespött (German for "laughing stock", according to Google Translate) Despot nor The Nation of Red Hats are smart enough to understand legitimate issues facing the country, so they latch on to these imaginary culture wars, which are within the scope of their comprehension.
