Whoopi Goldberg Criticizes Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin as “Thoughtless” During Heated Debate on The View. Whoopi Goldberg shut down co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin during a tense live segment about school vouchers, calling their behavior “thoughtless.” Here’s why things escalated.
The Debate That Got Heated: School Vouchers and Politics
During a Wednesday episode of The View, a discussion about Donald Trump’s past decision to nominate WWE billionaire Linda McMahon as U.S. Education Secretary turned into a fiery exchange between Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
Hostin passionately critiqued the voucher system, explaining how it diverts resources from underfunded public schools to benefit families already affording private education. Farah Griffin, however, interrupted multiple times, challenging Hostin’s claims with her own pro-voucher stance.
As the debate intensified, Farah Griffin accused Hostin of monopolizing the conversation, while Hostin fired back, saying Farah hadn’t let her finish her points.

“Okay, because nobody can figure out what’s being said here right now. No, there is no last thing right now! We’re going to go to break, and then we’re going to come back, because no one can hear anything anyone is saying.”
The interruption marked a rare moment of tension between Goldberg and her co-hosts, highlighting the challenge of navigating passionate, live debates.
