Goldberg has since apologized, but even those who oppose cancel culture as a rule insist that the standard should be applied fairly to both sides of the political spectrum. That would mean Goldberg losing her job over the things she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lemon, however, believes an apology from the \u201cView\u201d panelist is good enough. \u201cIn this environment, we have to be allies to each other,\u201d the \u201cDon Lemon Tonight\u201d host said, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/cnns-don-lemon-defends-whoopi-goldberg-holocaust-comment-fallout-allies\"><span>Fox News<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cSometimes your allies say stupid things. Sometimes they say dumb things. But guess what? They\u2019re your allies. They\u2019re at least on your side and they\u2019re trying to learn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe have to stop trying to cancel people and shouting down our allies,\u201d Lemon continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While Lemon did admit that Goldberg\u2019s statements were wrong, he pitched the whole situation as an opportunity to educate and grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhoopi is an ally to the Jewish community,\u201d Lemon insisted. \u201cShe is. She said something that she shouldn\u2019t have said. OK, fine. But\u2026 don\u2019t put her in a corner and marginalize her. Use her to the best of your ability to get the conversation and your points across about what\u2019s wrong about that kind of thinking because she\u2019s not the only one who thinks it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Plenty of conservatives have spoken out against cancel culture, even specifically related to this situation. But they point to celebrities such as Gina Carano, who lost her job on \u201cThe Mandalorian\u201d after making a Holocaust comparison. If those people must be ostracized for saying certain things, then even noted Leftists like Goldberg should be held to the same standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cGina Carano was fired by Disney, which owns ABC over an Instagram post comparing inhumane restrictions and dehumanization to the Nazis\u2019 treatment of Jews,\u201d Ian Miles Cheong <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stillgray\/status\/1488854837915951104\"><span>shared<\/span><\/a><span> to Twitter. \u201cWhoopi Goldberg got a two week vacation from ABC for minimizing the Holocaust as \u2018y\u2019all whites against whites.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Carano wasn\u2019t the only previously canceled celeb whose name got brought up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhy is it that Rosanne [Barr] (a Jewish woman) gets canceled for off color remarks but Whoopi\u2019s gets a total pass for antisemitism and downplaying the Holocaust?\u201d Donald Trump Jr. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DonaldJTrumpJr\/status\/1488573926540288012?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1488573926540288012%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fliberal-privilege-is-real-disney-fired-gina-carano-trends-after-news-of-whoopi-suspension-by-disney-owned-abc\"><span>tweeted<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cI can\u2019t help but notice that only people on the right face consequences for their mistakes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Others pointed out the utter hypocrisy of previous firings compared to Goldberg\u2019s temporary suspension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cRoseanne Barr: Fired by ABC over a joke tweet Gina Carano: Fired by Disney, who owns ABC over a Holocaust Instagram post Whoopi Goldberg: Dismisses the Holocaust and says extremely racist\/anti-Semitic statements on live tv at ABC \u2014 crickets,\u201d one Twitter user said. \u201cHmmm this isn\u2019t weird in the least.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lemon made no mention of the other canceled people or whether their jobs should be reinstated.
