Whoopi Goldberg, an actor and one of the co-hosts of the popular US talk show “The View,” has been suspended from the program for two weeks following controversial Holocaust remarks, parent network ABC said Tuesday.
“While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments,” ABC News President Kim Godwin said in statement posted on Twitter.
“The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities,” she added.
What Whoopi Goldberg Said:
During a Monday broadcast of “The View,” Goldberg claimed that race was not a factor in the Holocaust because it primarily involved “white people doing it to white people.”
