Whoopi Abuses Veterans Day, Suggests Hegseth Doesn’t Care About Vets
12th November 2025
Nothing was sacred to ABC’s The View if it could be abused to make an attack on some element of the Trump administration, including Veterans Day. During Tuesday’s episode, the liberal ladies sought to commemorate the holiday with their thanks and stories of their veteran family members; but moderator Whoopi Goldberg brought things down when she took a swipe at War Secretary Pete Hegseth to seemingly accuse him, an Army combat veteran, of not caring about those who came home from war.
“So, Joy is out today, hopefully she will be back tomorrow, and it is also Veterans Day today and we want to start by thanking every veteran in this country who has served in our armed forces,” Goldberg announced at the top of the show.
Goldberg chimed in again later in the segment to note how there were times that America didn’t treat veterans well and that America was trying to do a better job. She then invoked Hegseth’s name to scold him as if he wasn’t interested in treating veterans well or didn’t care about them.
