Y’all overreacting over nothing. She’s only getting suspended for 2 weeks. ABC giving her the vacation she needs wbk. 
But tbh she said nothing that wrong. Maybe she could’ve worded it better but sometimes I used to think the same thing when I was younger about how the Germans could differentiate the Jews because they look very similar. She didn’t say anything racist. I think good sis was just curious, that’s all.

oh my god, they are constantly snapping at each other, they're mean, they're catty, and none of them are really political experts.  They're really a bunch of Karen's, and they always have a toxic republican on the show who is just absurd (Elizabeth Hasselbeck)

Did you ever see the episode that made Rosie O'Donnell quit?  The split frame.  Oy :saladga:   And Meghan McCain was a million times worse.
 

 

Omg I'd have loved to see rosie put Meghan McCain in her place... could you imagine? 💀 I can't stand meg or liz, I used to always think of everyone from family guy in my head saying "SHUTTUP MEG" 🤣

she was incredibly wrong, but is it just me or do white people get away with a lot more before they are suspended or fired :triggered:

Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind, I wanna get off but I keep riding the ride

She misspoke, took accountability, and apologized. There have been people who’ve said worse on The View and nothing happened like this. Sorry, I just don’t agree with her being suspended.

Lucky Whoopie, I hope she sees it as a vacation and does some reading on the matter. Aside of that I find it weird that ABC is taking this step after other women (even on the same show) have said and actually stood by more problematic things. At least Whoopie offered an authentic apology.

I hate to be that person but honestly this seems like an overreaction from ABC

What she said was, while not malicious, still incredibly ignorant. But I'm not sure what a suspension is supposed to achieve. You either punish her properly or not at all. Staying at home for 2 weeks is a punishment fit for a 12 year old, not a grown woman.

Well, maybe it's what she deserves because if you have a show like this and you don't know basic facts about history, you need some time off to think hard about what you say. "It's white on white it's not about race, it was never about race!"

Then why did the nazi invent the concept of "aryan" race? C'mon tell me, is it because it's not about race? It's not about race so nazis created the term aryan to mean pure german blood. That's not race? You are stupid you need time off to read a history book

Good! We need to start punishing these looney liberals more often. If she'd been a white Republican, she would have been fired on the spot. 

You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

Meghan McCain would say the most terrible things on the View every day and was never once punished for anything.

Give me a break. Nothing Meghan ever said was as ignorant or as vile as what Whoopie said.

She would say that she has no problem with calling covid "the Chinese virus" even after all the attacks on Asian Americans in 2020/21. It's a terrible and harmful thing to say and she never had to even apologize for it.

I'm conflicted. She did something very offensive so a part of me is ok with the suspension. Another part of me tho thinks this punishment is useless. Invite on her show someone who can educate her and the audience about this topic so she can understand why she was wrong and apologise again.

This is a destructive way to handle the problem.

Very much that. I’m shocked because what she said isn’t that different than what many white people use when they back up their all lives matter logic so this seems really shady
