Whoopi Goldberg has a stern message for both Republicans and Democrats amid the ongoing government shutdown.
While the hosts of “The View” were engaged in a heated debate on Wednesday regarding Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s egregious conditions for journalists to access the Pentagon, Goldberg interjected with a suggestion for lawmakers who are at an impasse while government workers are furloughed.
“I want to make a suggestion, ’cause you know, we’re still in the middle of a shutdown,” Goldberg began. “I have a suggestion: I would like Republicans and Democrats to come together and decide they’re not going to take their salaries.”
Goldberg’s statement was met with applause.
“Because ... until this affects you the way it’s affecting your constituents, y’all are not going to settle this. So as an American, I am asking that you not take a salary until you settle this,” she concluded.
