Actress Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended from The View for two weeks over her comments alleging race was not a factor in the Holocaust. ABC News President Kim Godwin announced her suspension Tuesday night, saying it was 'effective immediately'. 'While Whoopi has apologized, I've asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments,' Godwin said in a tweet.'The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.'

Where else can one be an ignorant blowhard and make $96K a week? She should use a piece of that to get a haircut and go on a diet. Most ladies who clean bathrooms look better and speak better English.

She didn't apologize. It was one of those fake politician PR faux-apologies quickly followed by more statements about why the holocaust was no big deal to her.
If she was a conservative, no amount of real apologizing would have saved her and she'd have been permanently canceled in minutes, not getting a paid 2 week vacation a few days later only after it was clearly not blowing over.

Her fellow lefties are furious she got suspended for two whole weeks, but if someone says something they don’t agree with, they’re not happy til that person is out of a job. Canceled. Gone. Lord, I can’t stomach these people. Have never watched this hideous group of “women”.

A black liberal woman gets paid almost $5MM a year so she can preach to us how blacks are oppressed. Just like black football and basketball players who make millions in salary and endorsements can claim they are treated like plantation workers. I'd happily be a slave if it paid $5MM a year.

From what I read this decision wasn’t made by the network. It came down from Corporate. The ADL and Don Lemon aren’t running that so her so-called apologies don’t matter. A 66 year old woman who actually thinks this way and has no idea what the holocaust was about has no business having a platform to discuss current events.

Obviously her co-hosts are showing their strong political allegiances over truth. We need to mince every word they say and call them out on it daytime tv so called News and entertainment shows. Take them all down. Remove their megaphones!

It's obvious her co-host share similar philosophies and sophistries.
Put them all on leave, temporarily replace them with "The Elevator Music Channel" and discover which show is more popular...

I couldn't be more against what Caryn (Woopie) said but this retribution against all who say objectionable things is ridiculous.

On the positive side, not being able to get her face in front of a camera and spout racist hate speech for two weeks might kill her.

I’m sure she’ll still get paid. This suspension is nothing but CYA for the network and paid vacation for the former Caryn Elaine Johnson.

Good ole Whoopi (the one who thought DR Jill Biden would make a wonderful surgeon general) got a tiny tap on the wrist! Look at Roseann Barr being destroyed for a tiny bit of one tweet, and I could go on and on, but the people FIRED are all, amazingly, in one Camp. ABC gave her the tiniest sanction possible.

Why on earth was she even speaking about this subject? It is clear to me that once a person obtains power, celebrity or whatever, they now believe they are relevant on all subject matters. For her to be relevant would mean she experienced the atrocities of this horrible situation. I suggest she visit the Holocaust Museum. It is an eye-opening experience and stirs up a lot of soul searching.

Hey, she has 2 weeks to visit some Holocaust museums and a few Nazi concentration camps in Europe.
Perhaps meet some people who survived the camps.

I always thought the "view" of this show's title came from "point-of-view." Supposedly, the idea being people with differing points-of-view would gather and discuss them. (Okay everybody, quit laughing.)
Anyway, I believe Whoopee, along with everybody else, should be able to espouse their points-of-view -- and they be shouted down for being idiots, as needed.
Having said that, I think it's hysterical funny when the woke-ists eat their own.

The president of ABC should say those words to every single employee of her organization. But the it would be falling on deaf ears as none of them are capable or learning anything.

I wouldn't have suspended her or forced her to make a PC apology. Whoopi sees the world in Black and Other, to the point where WWII in Europe might be reduced to "White folks fighting." Honesty and clarity is refreshing, and I would love to see her defend her POV on the air.
