On Monday’s episode of ABC’s “The View,” moderator Whoopi Goldberg said she doesn’t care if President Joe Biden soils himself as long as he is capable of lead the nation.
Goldberg’s passionate defense comes amidst ongoing discussions within the Democratic Party about Biden’s fitness for re-election.
After a challenging performance in the first debate against former President Donald Trump, and his subsequent verbal missteps in every interview since, Biden faces pressure from some congressional Democrats to step aside.
Despite criticism from members of his own party, the liberal media, and his former Hollywood cheerleaders, Biden obstinately refuses to consider dropping out of the election.

Goldberg, who disgustingly admitted enduring some sh***y situations herself, is standing firmly beside the president.
“I’m just going to add my two cents. … I don’t care if he’s pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together,” she began. “Show me he can’t do the job, and then I’ll say, ‘Ok. Maybe it’s time to go.'”
“Now, he had a bad night the first time that he went out and debated with Kamala Harris, and everybody wanted him to quit then and said, ‘You can’t talk to women like this. You’re doing this wrong, you’re doing that wrong.’ He came back and said, you know what? I got it. And gave four years,” Goldberg lauded.
The “Sister Act” star got way too personal, when she told the audience, “I have poopy days all the time, all the time. I step in so much poo you can’t even imagine.”
“Now, I’m not running the world, but I don’t know anybody who doesn’t step in stuff at some point,” Goldberg added.
“So, I’m just simply saying, yeah. There are two debates, and if he can’t do what he needs to do for the second debate, I’ll join any crew that says get rid of him,” she concluded.
Meanwhile, Biden told Democrats that he remains committed to his campaign, and noted that he was already made the party’s nominee in the primaries.
“Despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” Biden asserted in a letter.
But insider details about what it takes to keep Biden going keep cropping up, and recent report has revealed that the president’s staffers undertake extensive measures to assist him, including crafting detailed instructions for his movements.
These documents often feature large print and images for even simple tasks, like guide him to the podium.

According to Axios the minute details included in huge font include “Walk to the podium,” “View from podium,” and “View from audience.”
One off-the-record staffer said, “It surprised me that a seasoned political pro like the president would need detailed verbal and visual instructions on how to enter and exit a room.”
However, Biden’s White House spox said that the amount of detail that goes into prepping for events like fundraisers is extraordinary, regardless of who is running the nation.
“High levels of detail and precision are critical to presidential advance work — regardless of who is president — and these are basic approaches that are used by any modern advance team, including the vice president’s office and agencies,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates remarked.
“These documents are standard logistical briefing materials and photos for any principal, including the vice president,” Vice President Kamala Harris’ spokesperson Kirsten Allen parroted.
The View’s Sunny Hostin says she’s “uncomfortable” with Biden stepping down.

On Monday, “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin expressed discomfort with the idea of Harris replacing Biden as the Democratic nominee.
Hostin acknowledged Harris’ qualifications but doubts that voters are ready to elect a black woman over Trump, referencing the 2016 election outcome where Hillary Clinton was defeated.
“Kamala Harris, as Ana [Navarro] said, is prepared, she’s ready, she’s presidential,” Hostin began. “So if he [Biden] cannot complete a four-year term, we know that we are protected.”
“I will say this. I am uncomfortable with him stepping down because I don’t know if this country will vote for a black woman,” she continued.
“If this country could not vote for Hillary Clinton, one of the most decorated and successful politicians and people in the world, I don’t know that Kamala Harris can beat a convicted felon,” Hostin added.
She claimed Republicans feared Harris and erroneously asserted that the Supreme Court had decided Trump has presidential immunity to engage in unlawful acts against his political rivals.
“I am uncomfortable with the state of where Joe Biden is, but I am comfortable with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris versus a convicted felon,” she concluded, labeling trump “king above the law.”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin claimed Trump “knows Joe Biden will lose to him” but is “afraid” of Harris.
Recent polls suggest that Trump leads Harris by two points. A poll by The Hill shows Trump leading Harris 45% to 42%, while a CNN poll from July 2 found Trump ahead 47% to 45%.
