What perplexed the Morning Joe host about the network’s decision? Goldberg realized her mistake, thoroughly apologized, with a statement put on on Twitter shortly after. She also apologized during an appearance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and during the following episode of The View, which included a meaningful conversation with the head of the Anti-Defamation League.

“What am I missing here?” Scarborough asked Morning Joe regular Eddie Glaude, Jr. before admitting he heard Goldberg’s initial offending statement. “I was, like, what is she talking about? She made a terrible mistake. We all make terrible mistakes. We apologized immediately and took corrective actions.”

“Who is so frail over at ABC? Who was so frail out there that they can’t understand when somebody makes a mistake, apologizes for the mistake, and takes all the corrective actions that can be taken for that mistake, and they’re still suspended for two weeks?” he continued.
