Celebrities react to Whoopi Goldberg's Holocaust comments on 'The View'

foxnews.com:

Fellow celebrities are sounding off on the situation unfolding at ABC on "The View" after Whoopi Goldberg was suspended for comments she made about the Holocaust.

On Tuesday, ABC News president Kim Godwin announced that, despite Goldberg apologizing for her comments publicly on Twitter, during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and Tuesday's "The View," the network had made the decision to suspend her for two weeks.

Godwin noted the move is in an effort to give her "time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments."  Goldberg went viral on Monday when she argued that the Holocaust "isn't about race," stunning her colleagues at the table.

The actress and host took to Twitter to issue a statement of apology shortly after her comments caught backlash online.

I should have said it is about both," Goldberg wrote in a statement. "As Jonathan Greenblatt from the Anti-Defamation League shared, ‘The Holocaust was about the Nazi's systematic annihilation of the Jewish people - who they deemed to be an inferior race.' I stand corrected." The situation has captured the attention of the public, prompting many celebrities to share their thoughts on the matter on social media.  ".@WhoopiGoldberg You deeply hurt &offended me.
