Co-hosts of “The View” appeared to become confused after Whoopi Goldberg suggested the Holocaust is “not about race.”
During the show on Monday, the co-hosts discussed book censorship. They mentioned Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel about the horrors of the Holocaust, “Maus,” was removed from a school’s curriculum.
“This was the plan with these anti-history laws that started being passed. These CRT — alleged CRT laws — started being passed,” Sunny Hostin said.
She added, “I don’t think people saw far enough into the future. You start banning discussions about race, and then you start banning discussions about the Holocaust, then you start banning discussions about the LGBTQ community. That’s where it started, and this was all very planned in my view.”
Joy Behar chimed in, adding, “If you teach a white kid what happened to his friend who happens to be black, he might feel terrible about what happened. That doesn’t mean he feels bad that he did something.”
She continued, “This is the confusion they’re creating I believe.”
