Taking to Twitter after “The View” aired, the star apologized for what she said. “On Today’s show, I said the Holocaust ‘is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man.’ I should have said it is about both,” Goldberg wrote (via New York Post). She added, “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.”
Goldberg finished her mea culpa by saying, “The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waiver [sic]. I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused.”
Many responses showed support for the host, but her words of atonement were not good enough for everyone, with StopAntisemitism.org tweeting, “No you don’t get any easy out on Twitter. Millions of viewers witnessed your Holocaust revisionism today. Please apologize and correct this horrific distortion tomorrow ON AIR. In addition bring actual Holocaust survivors to speak in order to make this a truly teachable moment.”
And this difficult-to-read tweet’s sentiment was expressed repeatedly: “??I suppose slavery was not about race either,”
