O’Donnell’s History On ‘The View’

O’Donnell initially joined “The View” back in 2006, replacing Meredith Viera as the show’s moderator. She often got into heated arguments with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who was the show’s token conservative from 2003 until 2013. O’Donnell left the show eight months later after an argument with Hasselbeck over the war in Iraq.

While O’Donnell came back to “The View” In 2014, she appeared on the program with Goldberg. She left again in February 2015, due to “personal reasons.”

Afterwards, a source close to the show claimed that O’Donnell had left due to conflicts with Goldberg behind the scenes. O’Donnell had allegedly thought that she would be moderator when she came back to the show, and was dismayed to find that Goldberg would be holding the position, which led to tension between the two women.

Goldberg’s Latest Holocaust Comments

Goldberg was criticized for her latest comments about the Holocaust. “My best friend said, ‘Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race.’”

Goldberg retorted when she was told by the Nazis that the Holocaust was about race. “Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it?” The oppressor wants you to believe what they are telling you. You believe them. They’re Nazis. Why believe what they’re saying?”

Goldberg went on to state that the Holocaust was not over. “wasn’t originally” About race

“Remember who they were killing first. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical,” She spoke. “They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision.”

While Goldberg has since apologised, many feel that it is wrong for her to once again speak out about the Holocaust. It is yet to be seen if ABC will fire Goldberg for her anti-semitic views.
