The View co-host issued a statement to Rolling Stone delivering yet another round of her "sincere apologies" for pushing the idea that the Holocaust was not racially motivated.

"It was never my intention to appear as if I was doubling down on hurtful comments, especially after talking with and hearing people like rabbis and old and new friends weighing in," the star told the outlet.

During an interview published over the weekend, Goldberg seemed to push her comments that "the Holocaust isn't about race" for a second time, which she claims go her "cancelled."

She originally made the claims during a taping of her show The View in January, which got her placed on a temporary suspension for two weeks. She also issued an apology for that first incident.

"I believe that the Holocaust was about race, and I am still as sorry now as I was then that I upset, hurt, and angered people," she continued in her latest apology.

"My sincere apologies again, especially to everyone who thought this was a fresh rehash of the subject. I promise it was not. In this time of rising antisemitism, I want to be very clear when I say that I always stood with the Jewish people and always will. My support for them has not wavered and never will."

Time will tell if Whoopi Goldberg will broach the subject again, and if we can perhaps expect a third apology sometime in the future.
