On Capitol Hill, one thing is certain. What noted liberals say or do Anything outrageous related to race, at least one member of the intrepid “Squad” will rush to a microphone or TV camera to say something stupid, offensive, and most likely hypocritical. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was invincible.
Following the announcement by ABC that it would suspend Whoopi Goldberg over her outrageous and indefensible claim that the Holocaust, — in which an estimated six million Jewish men, women, and children were exterminated by Adolf Hitler’s Nazis — was “not about race,” the erstwhile bartender did what she always does: opened her mouth to once again prove was a moron she is. As though there were doubts.
But before we go to Mensa Member AOC, here’s Whoopi and the other geniuses of “The View.”
After Whoopi says that “the Holocaust wasn’t about race”, sparks fly when The View panel confronts Whoopi. No. No.

Goldberg was promptly suspended for two weeks for her comments — and defense thereof.
Now, AOC has cried foul, suggesting that Whoopi’s suspension was unnecessary, given her apology and other (irrelevant) excuses. Ocasio Cortez commented on Wednesday’s scandal, waxing EleganceAccording to TMZ, Goldberg was not stupid and had learned her lesson.
After an unidentified reporter suggested that Goldberg has been supportive of the Jewish community in the past and that the suspension was “too much,” AOC eagerly agreed.
Yeah, you know, I think whenever there’s a moment like this or a Learn moment like this, what is super important is the relationship between that person and the community they’re making amends with.
The last I read, Jonathan Greenblatt, who’s the head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which is a champion in the fight against anti-Semitism, accepted her apology.
I think we kinda take the Jewish community’s lead on this and they seem to see that her apology was authentic, and wanna move on.
Following Whoopi’s comments, Goldblatt appeared on “The View” for a conversationGoldberg, in an evident attempt to clear the air. I am unable to recite the numerous examples of AOCs pure hypocrisy. But suffice it for me to state that her benevolent approach doesn’t generally work (because space and time are limited).ever)Conservatism is your best option.
Incidentally, AOC’s anti-Semitic pal Ilhan Omar was unavailable for comment.
And “coincidentally,” as reported by the Washington Examiner on Thursday, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) updated its definition of “racism” following the Goldberg incident. Racism is now defined by the ADL as something that “occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity.”
Several years ago, the ADL changed its definition of racism to “The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.”
Whoopi’s pal Jonathan Greenblatt explained the change in a statement, as transcribed by the Examiner.
ADL updated our definition to reflect that racism in the United States manifests in broader and systemic ways and to explicitly acknowledge the targeting of people of color — among many others — by the white supremacist extremism we have tracked for decades.
Unfortunately, the ADL was less successful in tracking anti-Semitic extremism on the left. It’s amazing.
Bottom line:
It is hard to understand why 7/10 Jewish adults are Democrat Party members and 50% describe themselves as liberal. While everything from Barack Obama’s pathetic treatment of Israel and then-Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu to Whoopi Goldberg’s insensitive-as-hell nonsense were inexcusable, there has been — and remains — no better friend on the planet to the Jewish people than the Republican Party.
