Whoopi Goldberg has officially apologized after she had called a group of protestors neo-Nazis, who were at an event.

Although there had been some of that group there, the Turning Point USA summit was something completely different. Turning Point USA had sent a cease-and-desist letter to ABC News and began a campaign against the network on Twitter after they had been lumped in the group of neo-Nazis. They also wanted to make it clear that it was a summit thrown on by their organization and had nothing to do with the Republican Party, which had also been indicated by previous comments. The View clearly did not have the right information, as it was stated that Turning Point USA attempted to get the Nazi protestors removed. Whoopi Goldberg had stated that Turning Point USA was “complicit” after letting those protesters in. That was the case for Whoopi Goldberg, as she had referred to a group known as Turning Point USA as “neo-Nazis.” The View host has now apologized for the indiscretion. That organizers of the event attempted to the neo-Nazis removed but were unable to do so because they had been on public property.

The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg apologized on Thursday for her remarks this week linking the conservative organization Turning Point USA to neo-Nazis.

"Also, Turning Point USA wanted us to clarify that this was a Turning Point USA Summit, and not a Republican Party event. "A Turning Point USA spokesman said the group ‘100 percent condemns those ideologies’ and said Turning Point USA security tried to remove the neo-Nazis from the area but could not because they were on public property," Haines continued. We want to make clear that these demonstrators were gathered outside the event and that they were not invited or endorsed by Turning Point USA," she said. "In Monday's conversation about Turning Point USA, I put the young people at the conference in the same category as the protesters outside, and I don't like it when people make assumptions about me," Goldberg said. The show obliged in the form of co-host Sara Haines reading a note to viewers on Wednesday. "My point was metaphorical," Goldberg said.
