ABC News President Kim Godwin announced in a statement tonight that Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended for two weeks from “The View” over her Holocaust comments.
Godwin began, “Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments.”
“While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments,” Godwin continued.
Godwin concluded, “The entire ABC organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.”

Many have called for Goldberg to be fired like Rosanne Barr was previously including Donald Trump Jr.
Trump Jr. asked in a tweet earlier today, “Why is it that Rosanne (a Jewish woman) gets canceled for off color remarks but Whoopi’s gets a total pass for antisemitism and downplaying the Holocaust?
“I can’t help but notice that only people on the right face consequences for their mistakes,” Trump Jr. lamented.

Earlier, we reported that insiders at ABC were wanting her fired as well over the controversy.
Goldberg appeared on the show today and time will tell if it is, in fact, her last episode.
