ABC suspends Whoopi Goldberg over Holocaust remarks
Television personality Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended from ‘The View’ on ABC following her remarks on the Holocaust
Whoopi Goldberg was suspended from the ABC network’s TV Show “The View” after saying the Holocaust involved “two groups of white people”.
ABC News stated that Goldberg would be off-air for two weeks after her “wrong and hurtful comments” made on the programme.
The actress and TV personality said on The View that the Nazi genocide of the Jews was “not about race”.
The TV star later apologised but then caused further offence while attempting to explain her remarks on a late-night show.
In a note to staff on Tuesday night, ABC News president Kim Godwin wrote: “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.
The 66-year-old Oscar-winning actress has been a co-star of The View since 2007
Goldberg first made the controversial comments on Monday’s show while discussing a Tennessee school board’s banning of a graphic novel about the Holocaust on the grounds that it showed nudity, profanity and suicide.
“The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.”
ABC STATEMENT.
“Just last week I noted that the culture at ABC News is one that is driven, kind, inclusive, respectful, and transparent. Whoopi’s comments do not align with those values.”
ABC STATEMENT.
This is not the first time Goldberg has caused controversy
The television personality said in 2009 that film director Roman Polanksi – who pleaded guilty to “unlawful sex with a minor” in 1977 – was not guilty of “rape-rape”.
She also defended Bill Cosby while he faced sexual assault allegations, before then reversing course amid backlash that she received.

China deploys over 100 ICBMs near Mongolia border
China deploys over 100 ICBMs near Mongolia amidst ongoing tensions and lack of arms control talks with the US
China deploys over 100 ICBMs near Mongolia amidst ongoing tensions and lack of arms control talks with the US
– China has deployed over 100 ICBMs in new silos near Mongolia, marking significant nuclear expansion.
– Beijing aims to enhance military strategies for Taiwan by 2027, potentially affecting U.S. operations in the region.
The report states that the DF-31 missiles, which have a range of 7,000 to 11,700 kilometers, are positioned across three silo fields. While the Pentagon had previously acknowledged these fields, this is the first confirmation of the number of deployed missiles.
China’s nuclear warhead stockpile was estimated at around 600 in 2024. The report projects an increase to over 1,000 warheads by 2030. It highlights a lack of willingness from Beijing to pursue arms control measures.
Beijing has dismissed such reports as attempts to discredit China and claims that it follows a nuclear strategy of self-defense with a no-first-use policy.
Strategic Military Planning
The Pentagon assessment indicates that China plans to be capable of fighting and winning a conflict over Taiwan by 2027. Beijing is reportedly enhancing military strategies to capture the island through forceful means.
These military strikes could potentially disrupt U.S. operations in the Asia-Pacific region.
Neither the Pentagon nor China’s embassy in Washington responded to requests for comment. U.S. officials cautioned that the draft report could change before its formal submission to lawmakers.
