Why Is Whoopi Goldberg Not On The View This Week?

Why Is Whoopi Goldberg Not On The View This Week? The American television channel ABC suspended the actress and presenter of its program “The View” for two weeks on Tuesday for a comment in which she denied that the Holocaust was racially motivated.

In a statement, ABC News president Kim Godwin announced the suspension immediately and for two weeks for Goldberg’s “wrong and hurtful.”

“While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments,” Godwin said. “The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family, and communities.”

In the first show since the longtime host was suspended Tuesday night for controversial comments, she made about the Holocaust this week, Joy Behar opened the episode with only a brief mention of the absence.

The hosts, including Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and conservative guest co-host Tara Setmayer, immediately went on to discuss Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch’s upcoming closed media speech to the Federalist Society on Friday.

Goldberg, 66, received immediate backlash, including from the Anti-Defamation League, the US Holocaust Museum, and the Auschwitz Memorial.
