'How Dare You?': Whoopi Goldberg Drops Fiery Response To JD Vance's 'Childless' Dig

Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t having it with Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Wednesday as she went after former President Donald Trump ’s running mate for his recently resurfaced comments directed at “childless” Democrats.

Vance, in an interview with Fox News back in 2021 , told Tucker Carlson that the U.S. is effectively run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies” before name-dropping several Democratic lawmakers, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg .

“The View” co-host, one day after Buttigieg knocked Trump’s VP pick on CNN over the remarks, said the clip is “not really helping” Vance connect with voters.

“There are people who have chosen not to have children for whatever reason,” Goldberg said.

She continued, “There are people who want to have children who cannot, how dare you?”

Harris is a stepmother to two children with her husband, Doug Emhoff . The transportation secretary and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg , have twins who they adopted in 2021.

“You never had a baby. Your wife had a baby. ... So you know nothing about this,” Goldberg said of Vance. “And how dare you. And women, you heard how he thinks of you. This is not good for you, JD.”

“The View” co-host later pointed to one noteworthy American who didn’t have children: George Washington .

“Like Kamala, he raised Martha’s children. He raised them with her,” Goldberg said.

She added, “Children are very important to us as a nation, but what is more important ... we pay taxes not for the stuff that is for us but how we help other people. This is a country that has always said, ‘Listen, you’re going to give some.’ ... But this is what we do, we pay on things that are not for us but it makes it better for everybody else, that’s the American way.”
