Although “The View” is well-known for its diversity of perspective among its panels, the hosts gave been largely anti-Trump since the real estate mogul’s announcement of his initial presidential run in 2015. However, Donald Trump Jr.’s 2019 appearance on the show — which took place under the backdrop of his father’s first impeachment – was marked by both supporters and opponents in the audience, as both cheers and boos could be heard in response to several of Trump’s remarks throughout the episode.
However, it became clear during a commercial break that lead moderator Whoopi Goldberg was not fond of the booing, and even admonished the audience for jeering Trump and his girlfriend. The motivations of Goldberg, who is generally quite liberal, were largely technical rather than ideological. “The booing is f***ing us up,” she told the audience, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s messing with everyone’s mic. You can grimace and all that. All we hear is booing.”
This is not the only time Goldberg has scolded the audience for their booing, which seems to be all but prohibited in the studio. She similarly chastised the audience in early 2022 when they booed former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, and several audience members claimed in August 2022 that Goldberg did not give the audience a chance to boo their new conservative permanent co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, upon her first introduction to the panel.
