Whoopi Goldberg Gets Mocked for Claiming ‘No One Wants Voter ID Laws’ Despite Broad Public Support [WATCH]

During a recent episode of ABC’s The View, the hosts attacked the “SAVE America Act” while arguing that voter ID laws are unwanted across the country.

Whoopi Goldberg led the discussion and declared that “no one wants voter ID laws,” a claim quickly challenged by data showing that a large majority of Americans support them, as reported by Breitbart.

The segment began when Goldberg brought up President Trump’s decision to cancel a bill-signing ceremony for a housing measure.

She said the president postponed it because he was pressuring Congress to pass the “Save America Act,” which includes provisions requiring identification to vote.

According to Goldberg, Trump “torpedoed the [housing] bill because he wants another bill signed.” She went on to assert that “no one wants to sign this bill.”

The exchange created confusion, since, in U.S. lawmaking procedure, the president himself signs bills, not Congress or the public.

Her cohosts readily joined in her criticism of the act. Alyssa Farah Griffin said the measure “doesn’t have the votes,” while Goldberg added that it would “force people to have ID when they come to vote.” She then insisted, “Nobody wants it.”

Joy Behar echoed Goldberg’s line and repeated, “Nobody wants it.” The conversation centered on the idea that requiring identification for voting would suppress turnout.

However, the “SAVE America Act” had already passed the House of Representatives and was awaiting Senate approval.

The article noted that some GOP senators were blocking the bill for political reasons, creating a roadblock despite its prior success in the lower chamber.

Because the bill cleared the House, critics said there is clear evidence that many lawmakers do, in fact, support voter ID. The additional claim that “no one” backs the legislation appears inconsistent with that record.

Polls also show that about 80 percent of Americans favor requiring identification to vote, contradicting the assertion made by Goldberg and her cohosts. The report pointed out that their statement does not match public opinion totals.

Behar injected humor into the discussion with a jab at Trump, saying, “It’s called the SAVE America Act, which is ironic, because it’s not — it’s really saving his behind. Save the Donald Trump behind act.”

Griffin and Behar further claimed the measure could “suppress the vote” and might even result in “half” of America being unable to vote. Those figures were not supported by evidence in the discussion.

Throughout the exchange, the panel described the act as a threat to voting rights, portraying it as a partisan effort to restrict access rather than ensure election integrity. Their comments reflected ongoing divisions over election reform proposals.

The article contrasted those assertions with data showing widespread bipartisan support for basic ID requirements.

It highlighted that most Americans see voter ID as a common-sense measure, despite claims from The View that the policy is unwanted and exclusionary.

The conversation ended with continued disagreement among the hosts. The exchange underscored how cultural and political debates over voting laws remain highly polarized, even on daytime television.
