“I want to thank everybody who reached out while I was away,” Goldberg said Monday in her return. “I listened.”
Goldberg did not mention her suspension specifically.
The comedian and host drew outrage two weeks ago on “The View,” saying during a roundtable discussion about a Tennessee school district decision to ban “Maus” that “the Holocaust isn’t about race” and that it involved “two White groups of people.”
Later that night, Goldberg was suspended by the network.
“While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments,” Godwin said. “The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.”
Goldberg made only brief reference to the controversy on Monday’s episode before moving on to topics of the day.
“We’re going to keep having tough conversations,” Goldberg said. “In part, because that’s what we’ve been hired to do.”
