“Just last week I noted that the culture at ABC News is one that is driven, kind, inclusive, respectful, and transparent,” she wrote. “Whoopi’s comments do not align with those values.”

As NewsBusters reported, Whoopi was conveniently absolved of her transgression by Anti-Defamation League CEO and former Obama official Jonathan Greenblatt during Tuesday’s show. Godwin was grateful for it.

“It was important that Whoopi had a chance to address her comments on the show today where she made them and have an educational conversation with Jonathan Greenblatt from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL),” she said.

Adding: “I appreciate their conversation and his acknowledgment of Whoopi’s efforts.” She then cited Greenblatt’s tweet (below) where he calls Whoopi “a long-time ally of the Jewish community.”

Very deeply appreciated @WhoopiGoldbergI invite you to @TheViewThis is an opportunity to hold a critical discussion about how important it is to educate people about the Holocaust. Whoopi was a loyal ally to the Jewish community for many years. @ADLHer apology is most appreciated. https://t.co/0lCLSgM9vO

Godwin also supported Whoopi:

Whoopi has shown through her actions over many years that she understands the horrors of the Holocaust and she started today’s show with the recognition.

Words matter, and it is important to be aware of their impact.

And she ended the letter with “#oneabcnews.”

ABC News found that two weeks suspension is sufficient, but many people believe a more severe punishment would be appropriate. Many were tweeting #cancelwhoopi and #firewhoopi

She also wrote her column in the U.K. Daily MailFormer View co-host Meghan McCain thought Whoopi wouldn’t be fired because, in ABC’s eyes, nothing she could do rises to that level:

I am not calling for Whoopi Goldberg to be fired, if only because I don’t believe there is any universe where she could possibly do anything that could get her fired – she is the crown jewel of The View and a pop culture icon.

Godwin’s letter proved McCain right.
