Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended for two weeks from her TV show The View, which she co-hosts, after saying that the Holocaust was not about race. ABC News President Kim Godwin made the announcement.

“As of this moment, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her incorrect and offensive remarks.Although Whoopi has apologized, I have asked her to take time to reflect and realize the impact of her statements,” Godwin said.

On Monday morning’s The View, hosts discussed the Tennessee school board’s banning of the graphic novel “Maus” about Nazi concentration camps. During the discussion, Goldberg stated that the Holocaust was not about the issue of race, but about “the inhumanity of some people to others.”
