The co-hosts of ABC propaganda show “The View” raged over fears that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s choice to lead Health and Human Services (HHS), could ban weight loss drugs like Ozempic.
During Thursday’s episode of the talk show, co-host Whoopi Goldberg unleashed a rant against RFK. Jr.
Goldberg said Kennedy plans to crack down on the off-label use of Ozempic by people who want to manage their weight because Americans are “addicted to drugs and weight loss should come from diet and exercise.”
“Why should a numbers cruncher with no medical background have any say?” Goldberg said, as her co-hosts Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sunny Hostin, and Sara Haines agreed.
“I don’t understand why you want to be in my business!”
Goldberg argued that managing weight wasn’t just about food and said sometimes people are “born genetically larger.”
“I want to say this to [RFK Jr.] because you’re setting folks up for shame,” Whoopi said.
“That’s what you’re trying … maybe you don’t know what you’re doing …
“I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt.”
“I’m gonna say you don’t realize what you do to people when you say [what you said] because it doesn’t work for everybody.
“I’m going to show you, sir, because I weighed close to 300 pounds less than two years ago, and without the Mounjaro, this would not have happened,” she added.
Goldberg then stood up and showed off her slimmer physique.
“You cannot take it out of people’s hands if it could help,” Goldberg continued.
“If we can keep people healthy.
“If we can get rid of diabetes.
“If we can get rid of all the things, cardiovascular, what’s wrong with trying to do that?”
Joy Behar interjected to say: “Nothing.”
Goldberg continued by calling out RFK Jr. and said he was wrong about weight loss drugs.
WATCH:
Drugs to manage weight have become a hot topic in recent years.
A growing number of people are now seeking their weight loss benefits.
However, some unpleasant side effects of taking these types of drugs include gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
According to studies done with rodents, there is also a potential risk of thyroid tumors and cancer associated with Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs.
