Whoopi Goldberg just destroyed Bernie Sanders to his face for refusing to drop out of a race that he’s lost
America is in the midst of a pandemic, Donald Trump is in the midst of a murder spree, Democratic nominee Joe Biden is the only one who can defeat him in November, and yet Bernie Sanders is still running a divisive and dishonest campaign in a primary race that he’s already lost in a blowout.
When Bernie Sanders appeared on The View today and made false claims about how he somehow still has a path to victory in a primary race that stopped being competitive several weeks ago, Whoopi Goldberg blew him up for it:

It’s becoming more clear by the day that Bernie Sanders is only in this for himself. He lost, badly, and yet he’s not enough of a responsible adult to drop out and endorse the Democratic nominee. Sanders is instead trying to force people to put their lives at risk by going out to vote in a primary race that’s already over, during a deadly pandemic. Sanders is also still raising money for a campaign that obviously doesn’t exist.
Sanders has unfortunately exposed himself as that rare combination of villain and idiot. If he truly cared about any of the progressive issues he claims to care about, he’d be working with Democratic nominee Joe Biden to make sure those policies happen once Biden is President. Instead, Bernie is casting those ideals aside, and screwing over his own supporters, because his insufferable ego requires that he keep pushing forward with an imaginary campaign in a race that’s over. Sanders has fully betrayed everything he’s ever claimed to care about.
