What's still developing
- "Whoopi let her excitement get the better of her. It’s another instance of ABC’s purported ‘bona fide news program’ boldly saying the quiet part out loud and admitting that the show is 100 percent meant to be [a] vector to push Democratic Party propaganda to the American people to influence elections," the Media Research Center's NewsBusters associate editor Nicholas Fondacaro told Fox News Digital in a statement.
- Democrats recaptured majorities in the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections, riding a massive blue wave that will give them control of both chambers in January 2027.
- "In the months and weeks leading up to the midterms, 'The View' was actively telling people to not only vote for Democrats but also vote for specific candidates like James Talarico. The use of the public broadcast spectrum to electioneer for a party or candidate by a licensee is a violation of federal regulations," he continued.
- "The View and ABC were already under intense scrutiny from the FCC before Whoopi’s comments and they’re likely to be used against the network in any potential action by the commission." ABC did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
- "A note to the Democrats, we put you in to take care of business. We don’t want to know what your back-biting fighting is, we don’t want to hear it. You can kvetch at each other after you take care of the people’s business," Goldberg said.
