“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended following her controversial remarks about the Holocaust.
“Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments,” ABC News president Kim Godwin said in a statement Tuesday evening. “While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments.”
“The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends and communities,” Godwin added.
Goldberg went viral on Monday when she argued that the Holocaust “isn’t about race,” stunning her colleagues at the table.
“What is it about?” co-host Joy Behar asked.
“It’s about man’s inhumanity to man, that’s what it’s about,” Goldberg said.
“But it’s about a White supremacist going after Jews and Gypsies,” guest co-host Ana Navarro said as Goldberg attempted to speak over her.
“But these are two White groups of people,” Goldberg said as her colleagues disagreed.
Jewish groups condemned the comments, accusing her of minimizing Jewish suffering.
Goldberg attempted to explain her remarks during her appearance on “The Late Show.”
“It upset a lot of people which was never, ever, ever, ever my intention… I thought we were having a discussion,” Goldberg told Stephen Colbert. “I think of race as being something that I can see… “You couldn’t tell who was Jewish. They had to delve deeply to figure it out… My point is, they had to do the work.”
She also told Colbert, “I don’t want to fake apologize…I’m very upset that people misunderstood what I was saying.”

Before the pre-taped interview aired on CBS, Goldberg issued an apology.
“On today’s show, I said the Holocaust ‘is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man.’ I should have said it is about both,” Goldberg wrote in a statement. “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.”
“The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never [waver]. I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused,” Goldberg added.
Goldberg reiterated the sentiment on Tuesday’s installment of “The View,” saying she “regrets” her comments. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt also joined the program to educate Goldberg about the Holocaust.

Karoline Leavitt vs. Cher: The Live TV Clash That Left a Studio Silent and Viewers in Total Shock
What started as a standard political-meets-pop-culture segment quickly spiraled into one of the most unforgettable live television moments in recent memory. In a rare and fiery on-air confrontation, conservative commentator Karoline Leavitt and music icon Cher exchanged words so sharp that the producers of the program were forced to cut the feed early — and audiences haven’t stopped talking since. The Setup: Two Worlds, One Collision The segment was promoted as a cross-generational dialogue between entertainment and politics. Cher, no stranger to voicing bold opinions on political and cultural issues, was set to appear alongside Karoline Leavitt, a rising Republican voice and former White House staffer. Producers expected sparks — but nothing like what actually unfolded. From the opening moments, it was clear the two women did not see eye-to-eye. The topic that ignited the match? A conversation about free speech, online censorship, and media bias — issues both had spoken about in different contexts. Cher, impassioned and animated, criticized what she described as “right-wing disinformation campaigns.” Leavitt, calm but assertive, responded by pointing out inconsistencies in celebrity activism and accused figures like Cher of “dismissing entire groups of Americans based on political affiliation.” Tension began to rise — and fast. The Turning Point: One Line, Total Silence Midway through the exchange, Cher made a remark questioning the legitimacy of Leavitt’s views, suggesting her “resume was political, not intellectual.” That’s when Leavitt delivered the line that stopped the show. “Maybe if you spent less time on Twitter and more time listening to people who don’t already agree with you, you’d actually understand what’s happening in this country.” There was no shouting.No raised voice.Just a sharp, surgical statement — and then silence. The co-hosts looked stunned.The audience stopped clapping.And for several seconds, no one said anything….
