Watch: Whoopi Desperately Throws to a Commercial Right After Cheryl Hines Levels Her and Nails Obama at Same Time
The article criticizes Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of “The View,” for inaccurately attacking Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the husband of actress Cheryl Hines, during a panel discussion. Goldberg disparaged Kennedy’s qualifications to led the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) by pointing out that he is not a doctor. Hines responded by noting that most HHS secretaries,including those under presidents Obama and Biden,were not medical professionals. The piece highlights Goldberg’s history of misunderstanding or misrepresenting medical credentials, including her past praise for Jill Biden as a “doctor,” despite Jill Biden holding a Doctor of Education degree rather than a medical degree. The article portrays Goldberg as uninformed and suggests she should stick to comedy rather than commenting on serious topics like public health policy.
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg outed herself as a clueless propagandist who panics when confronted with inconvenient truths that destroy her frivolous, left-wing narratives.
Whoopi’s latest self-own unfolded on Tuesday, during a panel discussion with actress Cheryl Hines, the wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
At one point, “The View” co-hosts took turns snidely insulting RFK Jr., saying his anti-vaccine stances were unscientific.
Goldberg suggested that Kennedy was unqualified to head HHS because he’s not a physician.
“I do wanna say, you know, he’s not a doctor? And he’s not a [medical] professional,” Goldberg said. “And oftentimes when he’s speaking, he is speaking not with the best information that we can get.”
Hines calmly retorted, “Just to be clear, 90 percent of secretaries of HHS have not been doctors. … There have been three. One of Obama’s secretaries of HHS was an economist.”
After being dunked on and humiliated on live TV, an embarrassed Goldberg quickly cut to a commercial break.
Whoopi tried to discredit RFK Jr. because he’s “not a doctor” and Cheryl Hines had the PERFECT response
“But 90% of Secretaries of HHS have not been doctors…
Obama’s Secretary of HHS was an economist!”

For reference, Obama’s HHS Secretary, Sylvia Burwell, was not a physician. She was previously the deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Obama administration.
Similarly, Joe Biden’s HHS Secretary, Xavier Becerra, was a career attorney with no medical or scientific experience.
Predictably, leftist foghorns like Whoopi said nothing about the non-medical backgrounds of Obama and Biden’s HHS bosses.
To underscore her utter cluelessness, in 2020, Goldberg gushed on “The View” that Joe Biden should appoint his wife, Jill Biden, surgeon general if he won the presidency.
“I’m hoping Dr. Jill becomes the Surgeon General,” Goldberg said at the time.
“Joe Biden’s wife. She would never do it, but yeah, she’s a hell of a doctor! She’s an amazing doctor.”
Let’s all remember Whoopi wanted Joe Biden to appoint “Dr.” Jill to be Surgeon General….”she’s a helluva doctor” 🤪🤡 pic.twitter.com/NGA8l0BRIh

As a reminder, Jill Biden never was a physician and never had any medical experience. She was a teacher who got a “Doctor of Education” degree (Ed.D.).
By comparison, RFK Jr. has a bachelor’s degree from Harvard, studied at the London School of Economics, and graduated from the University of Virginia Law School.
It’s farcically ironic that Whoopi — a high-school dropout — thinks she’s qualified to judge other people’s educational backgrounds.
In the meantime, she should stick to doing what she does best, which is pretending to be a comedian.
