Whoopi Goldberg has once again apologized for her false claims about the Holocaust after The Sunday Times of London published an interview with the actor on Saturday. During that interview, Goldberg, co-host of ABC's "The View," reiterated a statement made at the beginning of the year that the massacre of more than 6 million Jewish people "wasn't originally" about race.
She received significant criticism for her claims, including from Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, who called her comments "deeply offensive and incredibly ignorant" and said prove a "complete lack of awareness of the multiethnic, multiracial makeup of the Jewish community."
Following the backlash, Goldberg issued an apology to Entertainment Tonight, but said she was not "doubling down" on past comments.
"I was asked about my comments from earlier this year. I tried to convey to the reporter what I had said and why, and attempted to recount that time. It was never my intention to appear as if I was doubling down on hurtful comments," she said, adding that she has talked to people, including rabbis, about her original comments.
Goldberg first made the public statements on an episode of "The View" about 10 months ago, saying at the time that "the Holocaust isn't about race," but rather, "inhumanity to man."
She later apologized and was suspended from the show for two weeks for her comments.
