It would seem that TV talk show host, Whoopi Goldberg has put her proverbial foot back in her proverbial mouth, once again. The New York Post recently reported that Goldberg, a co-host of The View, repeated her past controversial views on the Holocaust in which she claimed the genocide was not “racial” but rather a form of “white-on-white” crime in an interview with the U.K. newspaper The Sunday Times.

NBC News has reported on Tuesday that Goldberg is facing a fresh round of backlash following her latest historically inaccurate statement about the Holocaust, which she claimed “wasn’t originally” about race.

The controversy marks the second time this year that Goldberg, 67, has come under fire for what Jewish leaders and Holocaust experts say are inaccurate and offensive comments about the Nazi-sponsored mass murder of six million European Jews between 1933 and 1945, according to the NBC News report.

The Sunday Times reporter said that “Nazis saw Jews as a race,” referencing Goldberg’s earlier comments from January, in which she claimed the Holocaust was “not about race.”

When the reporter told Goldberg that “the Nazis measured the heads and noses of Jews to ‘prove’ they were a distinct race,” Goldberg replied: “They did that to Black people too. But it doesn’t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street. You could find me. You couldn’t find them. That was the point I was making. But you would have thought that I’d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked.”

During an interview with the Sunday Times of London in which she promoted her new movie “Till” about the murder of Emmett Till at the hands of white racists in Mississippi in 1955, Goldberg said, “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,” according to the Post report.

Goldberg insisted that, “It wasn’t originally” about race, and noted that the Nazis also killed people they believed to be “mentally defective,” the Post reported.

The person conducting the interview, Janice Turner, asked Goldberg about the Nazis calling Jews a sub-human race and Goldberg said it was wrong to use their definition, the report indicated.

“The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believing them? They’re Nazis. Why believe what they’re saying?” she insisted in the Sunday Times of London interview, as was reported by the Post.

“It doesn’t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street. You could find me. You couldn’t find them. That was the point I was making. But you would have thought that I’d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked,” Goldberg continued.

NBC News also reported that David Harris, former president of the American Jewish Committee, an advocacy organization, addressed Goldberg in a tweet by writing: “Stop claiming the Holocaust wasn’t about race. It was all about race.”

A Holocaust survivor, Lucy Lipiner, condemned Goldberg’s comments in a tweet, writing that she “continues to use the Holocaust as her punching bag.”

“We told her that her comments harm us and she simply doesn’t care,” Lipiner wrote, referencing Goldberg’s comments on “The View” in January.

Goldberg was briefly suspended from ABC’s The View in February after first airing her opinions on the subject, the Post reported.

Goldberg said on “The View” earlier this year that: “The Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race. It’s about man’s inhumanity to man”.

Her controversial remarks in February of this year were made in the context of a discussion about a Tennessee school district’s decision to ban “Maus,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about a Holocaust survivor.

Goldberg then appeared on “The View” in February to apologize for her ill-conceived comments and even invited Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt on the show to discuss her remarks. Greenblatt apparently enlightened and informed Goldberg to the fact that the Nazis believed that they were indeed a superior race and that Jews were an inferior race and even sub-human.

Goldberg issued an apology for her remarks and said that she stood corrected. She also spoke of her long-time support of the Jewish community.  For his part, Greenblatt told CNN’s Don Lemon at the time that he did not consider Goldberg to be anti-Semitic but refused to comment on ABC’s decision to suspend her.

Greenblatt suggested to Lemon that Goldberg spend the next week two weeks interviewing Holocaust survivors, visiting a Holocaust museum and even volunteering for the ADL.

In February,  ABC News president Kim Godwin announced her decision to suspend Goldberg for two weeks, telling staffers that such decisions “are never easy, but necessary.”

“Words matter and we must be cognizant of the impact our words have,” Godwin wrote in a memo to employees that dubbed Goldberg’s initial comments “wrong and hurtful.”

The New York Post reported that a well-placed insider told them that Goldberg, felt “humiliated” at being disciplined by ABC execs after she followed their advice to apologize for the ill-conceived comments.

Speaking to the Post, the source added that “while Goldberg is taking the suspension hard and says she wants to leave the show, insiders believe she’s likely just sounding off.”

Goldberg’s co-hosts on “The View” were also not pleased with ABC’s decision to suspend Goldberg.

The Post reported that when speaking to the Daily Beast,, Ana Navarro said, “I love Whoopi Goldberg. I love ‘The View.’” This was an incredibly unfortunate incident. Whoopi is a lifelong ally to the Jewish community. She is not an anti-Semite, period. I am sad. And I have nothing else to say.”

She nevertheless doubled down during an interview with late-night host Stephen Colbert, before later apologizing.

“I get it. Folks are angry. I accept that and I did it to myself. This was my thought process and I will work hard not to think that way again,” she said after the initial imbroglio. “I get it. I’m going to take your word for it and never bring it up again.”
