Piers Morgan has lashed out at Whoopi Goldberg after she claimed the death of six million Jews during the Holocaust was "was not about race."The actress, 66, created controversy by claiming that the Nazis did not kill people based on their race during an episode of US chat show The View on Monday (January 31).She was discussing the removal of Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus from eighth-grade curriculum by a Tennessee school board after they deemed it unsuitable because of bad language and the depiction of female nudity.The book focuses on Jewish victims being tortured and murdered by Nazis during World War Two and was removed after parents demanded change over books where the focus lies on race, gender identity, and sexuality.Reacting to the comment Piers Morgan tweeted: "WTF? This is insane. The extermination of 6 million Jews wasn't about race???"Will any rock stars or renegade royals now boycott Whoopi Goldberg and/or ABC for this dangerous misinformation?"Discussing the book on the show Whoopi said: "I'm surprised that's what made you uncomfortable, the fact that there was some nudity."I mean, it's about the Holocaust, the killing of six million people, but that didn't bother you?“Well, this is white people doing it to white people.

Piers Morgan, 56, has taken aim at Whoopi Goldberg after she sparked outrage with claims that "the Holocaust isn't about race.” Last year, Whoopi commented on the former Good Morning Britain presenter’s reaction during a discussion surrounding his claims that he didn’t “believe a word” of Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah.Whoopi had been discussing a video of Piers storming off the Good Morning Britain set after making the remarks about the Duchess of Sussex on ABC talk show The View.Commenting on Piers’ sudden exit from the set of Good Morning Britain, Whoopi said: “A snap poll found that about half of the viewers found it inappropriate.“Others called it a betrayal of the Royal Family and TV personalities like...,“ Whoopi said as she took a deep inhale.She then added: “Piers Morgan was personally offended by it, take a look.”Taking to Twitter yesterday, Piers reacted in view of his 7.9 million followers to a clip showing the The View host discussing the Holocaust.He retweeted a post containing the video that was captioned: “Sparks fly as The View panel confronts Whoopi after she says ‘the Holocaust isn't about race.

Piers Morgan has branded Whoopi Goldberg’s comments about the Holocaust ‘insane’ and questions if she will ‘lose her job’ similar to Sharon Osbourne following her own race row. Whoopi, 66, sparked outrage when she claimed on The View that the Holocaust ‘wasn’t about race’ but instead about ‘man’s inhumanity to man’. Around six million people were murdered by Hitler’s regime in Nazi Germany during World War II and his hatred of Jewish people stemmed from Nazis believing themselves to be an Aryan ‘master race’. Reacting to Whoopi’s controversial statement, which she has since apologised for, Piers tweeted: ‘WTF? This is insane. The extermination of 6 million Jews wasn’t about race???‘Will any rock stars or renegade royals now boycott Whoopi Goldberg and/or ABC for this dangerous misinformation?’ He later followed it up with: ‘Sharon Osbourne was fired from The Talk for defending me against a fake charge of racism. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video‘Whoopi Goldberg said on The View yesterday that the Holocaust “wasn’t about race”, which for Jewish people is about as racist a comment as anyone could make.
