Meghan McCain, 37, spoke out against her former colleague Whoopi Goldberg, 66, over the comedian’s comments about the Holocaust in a tweet on Tuesday February 1.

The former View co-host shared that she was reluctant to speak out against her old job, but she wanted to share how “heartbroken” she was to hear the controversial comments that Whoopi made, saying that the Holocaust was “not about race,” during Monday’s episode.

Meghan, who left The View in August 2021, seemed hesitant to weigh in on the controversy. “I hate commenting on my old employer because I have moved in every way a person can move on,” she wrote, before turning to how upset she was by the comments. “That being said I am an activist against antisemitism and it is a big part of my life.

The growing threat is real and virulent and everywhere. I am heartbroken about what was said,” she tweeted. Whoopi received significant backlash and accusations of antisemitism after a “Hot Topics” discussion about a Tennessee school district’s decision to ban the highly regard graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelman, which is a memoir about his father’s time in the Holocaust. “The Holocaust isn’t about race,” she said during the show.
