ABC News president Kim Godwin confirmed the suspension on Tuesday and released a statement: "Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments. While Whoopi has apologized, I've 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."

Tomorrow's episode of The View will air with just four co-hosts: Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and guest co-host Tara Setmayer.The uproar began on Monday's episode of the ABC daytime talk show, during a discussion about a Tennessee school board's banning of the graphic novel Maus, when Goldberg said that "the Holocaust isn't about race… it's about man's inhumanity to man." Her comments sparked immediate backlash from the Jewish community and beyond, and The View welcomed several prominent representatives of the Jewish community the following day to explain why Goldberg's comments were hurtful.
