NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The Wednesday, December 13 episode of 'The View' began with Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts taking on American politics, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Goldberg launched into an attack against former president Donald Trump straight off the bat, saying, "Just when you think American politics can't get any dumber, you-know-who is trying to cash in on his legal troubles by selling pieces of the suit he wore in his mug shot — if you cough up more than $4,500 for his trading cards."

"And, for $500 a pop, George Santos is offering to make you personalized Cameos," added the 68-year-old Oscar-winning actress. Since being expelled from Congress, Santos has reportedly used his notoriety to make over $80,000 a day on the app.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, 34, who had resigned from Trump's White House communications team in 2020, was reportedly appalled by her ex-boss's move and urged people not to give Santos their hard-earned money.

"I hate this so much," stated 'The View' co-host, adding, "Do not go out and support known fraudsters. The Cameos, I've seen a couple of clips, they're kind of funny, but this is a man who... allegedly defrauded a veterans charity. He has violated federal laws."

Mentioning Trump, Griffin continued, "This just shows how ridiculous our politics has gotten. It's all for him about enriching himself and about staying out of jail."

She further noted that the former POTUS "had not won a damn thing since 2016," along with, "He's a known loser, he's lost consistently for the GOP, he's bad for the country, and it's time to move on."

Sunny Hostin noted, "You know what it showed me? It showed me that he's really broke and he doesn't have any money and that he's not really a good businessperson when you have to sell pieces of your suit that you wore during your mug shot, you know? For criminal charges!"

She asked, "How low can you go?"

On the topic of the expelled congressman George Santos, Ana Navarro said, "It doesn't bother me at all. Listen, if you're stupid enough to help him buy Ferragamos instead of using it to buy yourself some Ferragamos, that's your problem."
