ABC News: ‘Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg’
Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended from ‘The View’ after saying the Holocaust “isn’t about race”.
About time such a racist gets cancelled.
The 66-year-old star was met with fierce backlash over her comments on Monday’s episode of the US talk show.
She said: “Let’s be truthful about it because Holocaust isn’t about race. It’s not about race. It’s not about race. It’s about man’s inhumanity to man…”
I guess she FAILED in history class.
…
it was announced on Tuesday evening that Whoopi will take some time away from the show to reflect on the “wrong and hurtful comments” she made.
ABC News President Kim Godwin tweeted: “Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for her wrong and hurtful comments.
Hate speech! That is what it was. HATE SPEECH!
In an email to staff members, Godwin wrote: “Just last week I noted that the culture at ABC News is one that is driven, kind, inclusive, respectful and transparent.
“Whoopi’s comments do not align with those values.”
Too bad that those values and the enforcement of them has been spotty in the entertainment/news industry.
