The View returned with a day full of “Hot Topic” discussions on Monday (January 6), with the panelists discussing everything from the 2024 election certification (and the last time, when Donald Trump incited an insurrection) to the legacy of late President Jimmy Carter to the Golden Globe Awards.

The topic of January 6th was a particularly heated one for the cohosts. Ana Navarro expressed pride in Vice President Kamala Harris for committing to certify the results, even though they weren’t in her favor, calling her a “mature adult” and “not a toddler having a tantrum.”

While Alyssa Farah Griffin resorted to her typical “told you so”-style talking point about how she predicted Trump’s election due to widespread economic unrest, Sunny Hostin insisted it was important for people not to forget what actually happened on January 6, 2021.

Whoopi Goldberg also relayed a familiar refrain in response to a question by Hostin about what will happen if Trump pardons the convicted rioters, promoting the “wait and see” approach. But she also let her sartorial selection of the day do some of the talking for her!

Throughout the episode, Goldberg donned a black sweater with the number “1920” emblazoned in white. 1920 is, of course, the year that the 19th Amendment was ratified and first granted women the right to vote in the United States. It was a hard-won victory for women’s rights activists, called “suffragettes” and the color white is symbolic of that effort.

So, as the results of the latest national election were being certified by Congress, Goldberg wore a visual reminder of how half of those votes came to be possible in the first place.

    I’m 73 years old and I have never seen grocery prices drop. Never! When was a child tuna was about 39 cents a can and we could buy “day old” bread for 10 cents a loaf. Did folks really believe that prices would go down on groceries? Or anything? And wait until the tariffs kick in.

    Alyssa needs to stop blaming dems for trump win. She said that people voted for their economics. If that is true, they would have voted for any repub. It was the repubs that picked this man. She seems to ignore that the repub party is now the MAGA party. In my opinion, people voted for trump because of the lies put out by them and their comedy channel, FOX. Repubs continued to scare people with lies about foreign citizens and immigrants. They lied about what they intend to do. They lied about what Biden did. Biden wanted to raise taxes on people making over 2 million dollars. Repubs want to lower taxes for people making over 100 million dollars. People have to know the truth about what each party is for. Which party is for wage increase or union representation? People have to look at who voted for what.

      I would love for Alyssa & others to tell us exactly what it is that the president can do to bring down grocery prices! And judging by trump’s response that prices might not go down - so does he!!!!!

        Particularly it will happen as the price of gas comes down. Drill baby drill. Once the shackles are taken off of the production side of things, and the blocks Biden put on exports, everything will get better. So much of our economy is tied to the oil business.

      Good reply it's not just because the dem's suck that trump won. She's like putting That in there all the time as a hidden message that he/they didn't deserve to win. That they just got lucky in a sense.Because the democrats suck so bad.. This time especially.

      Biden's mind has been gone for a long time. And you don't even know who's been running the country. Your admin. has been run by an unelected secret committee. By the same token, do not fear, because Trump will have a team of advisers just like your precious president and everything will be fine.

        Yes a team of advisors that have no creditable backgrounds for the job their given. A group of millionaires with police records. Hope you enjoy them. Circus! The world is laughing

    I think the view is a wonderful and awful show. So much hate, division pushing, racism, sexism All while preaching against it. Quite a bit of hypocrisy et cetera.

    I assume this show actually helped the other side win.. And we all know to see such awful people/an awful show Makes us feel better and winners.

    GoldCorn

    Whoopi, she doesn't know what she's talking about she's just delusional. I wish you just keep her mouth shut about politics her politics because all they've done has caused us grief and raise prices and everything. And we all struggle while she of course doesn't have to but she sure has an opinion about everything. Whoopi keep your opinion to yourself no one wants to hear your mouth or the garbage that comes out of it.
