It's Always The Ones With No Magic Trying To Take Out The Ones Carrying The Light: Whoopi Goldberg Revives ‘The View’ Ratings After Two-Week Suspension Lows! Karma At Its Finest.

"Actress Whoopi Goldberg is back on “The View!”

Despite concerns that she was canceled after her recent controversial comments, “The View” ratings dipped during her two-week suspension and then rebounded after she returned.

At the beginning of the month, Whoopi Goldberg was making headlines due to controversial comments she made about the Holocaust on “The View.” Whoopi and her cohosts had been talking about the controversial banning of Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel “Maus” in schools. During the discussion, Goldberg said that the Holocaust “was not about race,” which was met with immediate backlash online.

“If you’re going to do this, then let’s be truthful about it,” Goldberg said on air. “Because the Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race.”

Cohost Joy Behar asked Goldberg, “Then what was it about?”

“Man’s inhumanity to man,” Goldberg replied. “These are two white groups of people.”

The Anti-Defamation League, the Auschwitz Memorial, the Holocaust Museum, and many other organizations criticized Whoopi’s Holocaust comments on social media.

“On today’s show, I said the Holocaust ‘is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man,’” she began. “I should’ve said it is about both.”

“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 waiver,” she continued. “I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused.”

“Written with my sincerest apologies, Whoopi Goldberg,” she concluded.

Whoopi apologized live on air on “The View” the next day.
