(7,447 posts)Yeah, I find Whoopi's opinion the type of advice normally given to someone who is new to something but is excited about changing it based on their current understanding of said endeavor.
I am pretty sure Whoopi is not saying things "for ratings' given she, ya know, already has "the ratings" and is pretty well known for saying what she thinks without filters. I'm also pretty sure taxes are irrelevant to what she is saying in this incident because she said more than just "sit back" she talked about "pooping" on other people. There's a context there you appear to be ignoring.
Regardless, as I said to the other person who responded, there is clearly a cohort primed to take any criticism of AOC as negative as possible, and that's fine, feel free, but I feel fairly confident at the end of the day, that some criticism of her is valid, and that, if she's worthy of being a leader, she will take that criticism into account and adjust as needed, if needed, and where needed...and if she's not, she won't.
Because that's what good leaders do. Whether she is or not, is well in the future to be seen.
