\u201cThe View\u201d host Sara Haines is defending co-host Whoopi Goldberg from those saying her punishment for saying the Holocaust \u201cisn\u2019t about race\u201d wasn\u2019t extensive enough. Goldberg was suspended for two weeks from the ABC program last Wednesday, and for Haines, it\u2019s more about the opportunity for Whoopi to have a learning moment.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Haines posted an old picture of herself and Goldberg on Instagram, captioning it \u201cThis just popped up and warmed my heart. That\u2019s my Whoops!!!!\u201d Very quickly, the comments section of the post was flooded with people scolding Haines for showing her co-host any kind of support. So, she bit back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to invite people trolling the post to go play somewhere else,\u201d she wrote in a separate comment<\/a>. \u201cTo learn from a moment is all we can ask of anyone. And prioritizing punitive measures at the expense of the message\/issue (and teaching moment) are misguided.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haines\u2019s comments mark the most the hosts of \u201cThe View\u201d have said about Goldberg\u2019s suspension, as they ignored the topic completely on the air, aside from a top-of-show mention on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Goldberg made her original comments on Monday, saying the Holocaust wasn\u2019t a race issue, but \u201cabout man\u2019s inhumanity to man.\u201d She quickly drew criticism for her comments, and on Tuesday, issued an expanded apology on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said something that I feel a responsibility for not leaving unexamined because my words upset so many people, which was never my intention,\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cAnd I understand why now, and for that, I am deeply, deeply grateful because the information I got was really helpful and helped me understand some different things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, on Tuesday night, it was announced by ABC News president Kim Godwin that Goldberg would be taken off the air for two weeks. <\/p>\n

\u201cEffective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments,\u201d Godwin wrote in a statement on Twitter. \u201cWhile Whoopi has apologized, I\u2019ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments. The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
