WHOOPI BYE: Goldberg Suspended from The View for Holocaust Comments

ABC is putting Whoopi Goldberg in the rear view.

After claiming that the Holocaust was “not about race,” and botching numerous apology attempts, ABC News President Kim Godwin has gone ahead and made it official —Goldberg has been suspended. 

“Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for her wrong and hurtful comments,” ABC News President Kim Godwin tweeted. “While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments.”

“Goldberg, 66, claimed Nazis and Jews were both white on Monday’s program, and repeated the statement on Late Show With Steven Colbert that evening. She walked back the remarks on Twitter later that night amid widespread outrage,” the New York Post reports.

“As Jonathan Greenblatt from the Anti-Defamation League shared, ‘The Holocaust was about the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people — who they deemed to be an inferior race.’ I stand corrected,” she wrote on Twitter.

Goldberg will be suspended for two weeks.
