‘The View’ Fans RELIEVED Over Whoopi Goldberg’s Absence

Whoopi Goldberg went MIA from The View. Fans breathed a sigh of relief during one of the conversations. Whoopi wasn’t present during the latest broadcast of the ABC daytime talk show, which is normal for the moderator. Keep on reading to learn more.

The View discusses International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Whoopi Goldberg has been under fire for her comments about the Holocaust and the Jewish community. Just a year ago today, ABC suspended her for two weeks for the insensitive comments she made. Those comments came up again when Whoopi sat down for an interview with The Times UK to promote her new film Till. The interview went viral last month and had many fans and Jewish leaders calling for her firing from the talk show.

During the interview, Whoopi Goldberg told the publication why she made those comments. She claims that many of her Jewish friends wonder whether they’re a religion or a race. On Friday’s broadcast of The View, fans were relieved to see that Whoopi wasn’t there. Her co-hosts discussed International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

“78th anniversary of the liberation of the infamous Nazi concentration camp: Auschwitz-Birkenau,” Joy Behar explained.

She revealed that January 27th was called “International Holocaust Remembrance Day,” which “honors the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.” She also recalled the “millions of other victims, of the brutal Nazi regime.” Most of Friday’s broadcast featured Daniel Patt, who is a Jewish software engineer who founded the website From Numbers to Names. He created the website to “help [Holocaust] descendants piece together their shattered family history.”

Most of the episode was dedicated to International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Viewers at home learned about the tragic event. They also listened to voices in the Jewish community. Some were happy that Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t around during the live show.

Fans relieved over Whoopi Goldberg’s absence

During the episode, fans took to Twitter to react. Most of them were relieved over Whoopi Goldberg’s absence from the panel. They were glad that she wasn’t there to share more insensitive comments that could get her into trouble. Some wonder if either the comedian or the show planned it that way.

• “Do you think it is a coincidence that Whoopi is not at The View for Holocaust Remembrance Day in light of her ‘anti-Semitic’ rhetoric?” one fan asked.
• “No coincidences ever.”
• “I’m glad Whoopi isn’t there today for this.”
• “Production meeting: ‘So let’s do the Holocaust segment on Friday when Whoopi is gone so it doesn’t blow up… again…”
• “Whoopi doesn’t work on Fridays…”

The actress has apologized for the numerous comments she made. However, most fans think she should be fired from the talk show. The panelist expressed gratitude for keeping her position. She’s also been focused on other projects and side hustles during this time.
