In reply to the discussion: Whoopi Goldberg Advises AOC To 'Sit Still,' 'Learn The Job' Before 'Pooping On People' [View all]emulatorloo
(46,135 posts)Gist of the statement is that AOC has good Democratic colleagues in Congress who can help her learn the ropes.
Nowhere in that statement does Goldberg say anything remotely like sit still in the face of Trump.
As I said before I dont know what I think about Goldbergs statement, but lets criticize it for what was actually said, not some thing we have made up or words we have put in her mouth that she didnt say.

"There are a whole bunch of people in the Democratic Party who have been busting their asses to make sure that women get what they need, people get what they need, children get what they need," Goldberg said.
"So you just got in there. And I know you got lots of good ideas, but I would encourage you to sit still for a minute and learn the job... because there are people in that party who have been working their tails off for this country, and they know a lot.
And you could learn some stuff from them" Goldberg advised Ocasio-Cortez.
