Instead of Firing Whoopi, ABC Should Rehire Roseanne
PJ Media ^ | 02/02/2022 | Matt Margolis

Whoopi Goldberg caused a lot of controversy on Monday when she claimed on The View that the Holocaust wasn’t about “race.”

It was a shocking moment on the show, and even her fellow liberal co-hosts challenged her to explain what she “really meant.” Goldberg explained that, in her view, the Holocaust wasn’t about race but rather “man’s inhumanity to man” because it was about “two groups of white people.”

Whoopi has made stupid comments on the show before (basically every episode), but these were probably her most controversial comments since 2009, when she said Roman Polanski’s rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1977 wasn’t “rape-rape.”

“I know it wasn’t rape-rape. It was something else but I don’t believe it was rape-rape,” she said. “He went to jail and and when they let him out he was like ‘You know what this guy’s going to give me a hundred years in jail I’m not staying,’ so that’s why he left.”

According to the Daily Mail, staffers at ABC are furious with the network for not firing Whoopi in light of the backlash her remarks caused, especially when ABC fired Roseanne Barr because of her comments about Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.

“These comments are absolutely abhorrent and outrageous and it’s time Disney and ABC grew a pair and fired her,” the source told the Daily Mail. “Disney took swift action and fired Roseanne Barr when she posted the awful tweet about Valerie Jarrett, yet Whoopi made her vile comments on ABC’s air and they do nothing about it? Where is the leadership from within Disney? [Disney content chairman] Peter Rice needs to step up and do his job and fire Whoopi.”

Sorry, Roseanne is too partisan in the wrong way. They’ll find someone objective and open to opposing opinions. They’ll hire al sharpton.

I think it would be great to have a spin-off with Roseanne in her TV show character...

... Where she faked her death to get away from her loser family and is now remarried to a conservative and living a happier life.

Whoopi and Roseanne should be co-stars in a new sitcom.

And they can bring Whoopi in to be cast as Dan Connor’s new wife.

I think Whoopi should play the race card.

Now that would be must watch TV. Even pay for view couldn't match the fight they would have.

Roseanne should be hired. Whoopi should be fired.

It’s that easy.
