The co-host of “The View” had pointed words for former President Barack Obama following comments he made at a private donor event Friday night. During the speech, Obama criticized Democrats for what he viewed as weak pushback against President Donald Trump, saying the party needed “a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining.”

Former President Barack Obama has urged disillusioned Democrats to quit “navel-gazing” and “whining” in a call to stand firm against the Trump administration. The 44th president offered his blunt perspective as he returned to the fundraising circuit at a private event in New Jersey on Friday, telling his party to “toughen up.”
