Whoopi Goldberg issues groveling apology for repeating claim Holocaust wasn't about race (just like she did last time), as ABC faces growing calls to ax her from The View

The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg issued an apology on Tuesday following backlash for repeating her claim in a recent interview that the Holocaust wasn't about race. The Oscar-winning actress was suspended from The View in February for saying the Holocaust was not about race, but rather 'white on white' violence and 'man's inhumanity to man' - and the TV personality was told in advance not to discuss the daytime talk show. Goldberg readily repeated her controversial comments last week, when it was pointed out that the Nazis certainly believed the Holocaust was about race. On Tuesday, she apologized, saying that it was 'never my intention to appear as if I was doubling down on hurtful comments, especially after talking with and hearing people like rabbis and old and new friends weighing in.'
