“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg returned from her suspension on Monday after her controversial remarks about the Holocaust.
“Yes, I am back,” Goldberg said, after missing the past eight episodes starting Feb. 2. “I missed you all, too.”
Goldberg was suspended for two weeks on Feb. 1 by ABC News after saying the Holocaust wasn’t about race but rather different groups of “White” people.
“I’ve got to tell you, there’s something kind of marvelous about being on a show like this, because we are ‘The View,’ and this is what we do,” she said on Monday. “And sometimes we don’t do it as elegantly as we could … but it’s five minutes to get in important information about topics. And that’s what we try to do every day, and I want to thank everybody who reached out while I was away, and I’m telling you, people reached out from places that made me go, wait, wait, what, really?”
Goldberg didn’t go into specifics but said she hoped important conversations continued even if they weren’t “always pretty.”
