Whoopi Goldberg suspended from The View for two weeks- Tap to read

Whoopi Goldberg, an American actor as well as presenter, has indeed been suspended from ABC’s The View after making controversial remarks regarding Jews as well as the Holocaust. After expressing provocative statements about Jews as well as the Holocaust on Monday in reaction to something like a local school board banning the graphic novel Maus, the daytime panel show co-host should be off the air for two weeks.

ABC News President Kim Godwin confirmed the decision in a memo to staff Tuesday night, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Effective now, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her inappropriate and disrespectful remarks,” she stated. While Whoopi has apologised, I’ve invited her to ponder and learn more about the consequences of her remarks.

The entire ABC News company expresses its support for our Jewish colleagues, friends, families, as well as communities. These choices are seldom simple, but they should be made. Just last week, I mentioned how motivated, compassionate, inclusive, polite, and open the ABC News culture is. The words of Whoopi Goldberg do not reflect those beliefs.”

On Tuesday, Whoopi Goldberg apologised on the show, which also featured an interview with Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “Let’s be honest about it because Holocaust isn’t about race,” Goldberg stated during a section about Maus on Monday’s show, sparking outrage. It has nothing to do with race. It has nothing to do with race. It all comes down to man’s inhumanity to man.”

“But it’s about white supremacists coming after Jews,” co-host Ana Navarro said in response to Goldberg.

“I’m sorry for the anguish that I have caused,” Whoopi Goldberg apologised on her social media channels after making similar remarks on CBS’ Late Show Monday evening.
