“We’re happy to see ya’ll. Cool, well, go on and have a seat,” Goldberg stated before turning her attention to the heckler. “Did you just call me an old broad? Yeah?” she then said. The camera panned to a woman sitting near the front of the stage.
“She said, ‘You old broad,’ and I was like, hey, it’s Wednesday, and I am an old broad, and happy about it,” she remarked, attempting to downplay the insult. Co-host Sonny Hostin chimed in by saying that the term “old broad” was preferable to any alternative slurs.
Plenty of other comments tempered their own outrage by referring to Whoopi as a clown. Goldberg really stepped in it and doubled down on historical ignorance when explaining her thinking. “Remember who they were killing first,” she said in reference to the Nazi regime. “They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision.”Commenting on her initial suspension, she downplayed everything by pretending her raging ignorance and hatred of facts was a non-issue. “But you would have thought that I’d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked,” she said about the suspension. “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,’” she said. VIDEO BELOW :
