On Tuesday, Whoopi Goldberg was suspended for two weeks as co-host of ABC’s "The View" after comments she made about Jews and the Holocaust during a debate on book banning. During a conversation about a Tennessee school district removing the book Maus from its curriculum, Goldberg insisted that the Holocaust was “not about race ... it’s about man’s inhumanity to other man," arguing that the Holocaust was about two groups of white people doing horrible things to each other.
Goldberg apologized hours after her comments were made and again in a follow-up episode, but the two-week suspension rolled in after leaders of many Jewish groups and viewers of the show expressed their anger. The president of ABC News called her comments "wrong and hurtful."

1:12.8 | I am your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we are going to be discussing Whoopi Goldberg and her suspension from ABC's The View, a pretty interesting topic, I think, and not what I was planning to write about, |

1:46.5 | I think it's a fantastic question, and so I posed it on Twitter, and then I sat down and started |
