A resurfaced clip of Whoopi Goldberg has left millennials up in arms as she suggests their inability to buy a home is simply down to laziness.
In a clip from the show, which aired in November of last year, the 68-year-old suggested that the generation didn’t want to work and if they did, they would for as little as four hours.
She went on to add that this was the reason many millennials can’t afford to buy a home… well, just about anywhere.
Goldberg also insisted that moving out and buying a property has always been hard and young people simply needed to ‘get it done’ like their parents, grandparents and great grandparents.
This stance is not new to most young people and the clip of Goldberg has recently resurfaced, sparking a new wave of criticism against the actor.
TikTok user @fmsmith319 shared a video dissecting Goldberg’s comments and it has gone viral, receiving over 14 million views.

“The median household income was more than what you needed to qualify until 2023,” Smith added as he highlighted a troubling trend of income not matching housing costs.
