There is growing fury inside ABC over Whoopi Goldberg’s controversial Holocaust claims, with insiders demanding that her apology isn’t enough and she must be fired, reports Page Six at The NY Post.

On Monday’s edition of “The View,” Goldberg, 66, alleged that the Holocaust was “not about race,” claiming Nazis and Jews were both white.

She doubled down on the claim on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Monday after stating via Twitter, “I stand corrected.”

However, sources tell Page Six that staffers and fellow hosts on “The View,” as well as insiders at Disney, are furious that Goldberg has not been disciplined.

“ABC staffers and Disney Network execs are saying Whoopi went way too far. And board members are not happy with her apology and want a fuller retraction. The word is that Whoopi is in ‘deep s–t,’” one ABC insider stated.

The insider also told Page Six that the situation “isn’t just going to blow over.”

“This will cast a shadow over everything for a while. Even Joy Behar was heard saying backstage that Whoopi is ‘dead wrong’ and may not ever recover from this,” the source said. “Joy found this particularly troubling and couldn’t believe Whoopi wouldn’t stand corrected until she was forced.”

According to the insider, others at ABC are “incredulous” and allegedly asking questions like, “How stoned can she be?”

“Her agents are panicking that she may have ruined herself for good,” the source claimed. “Plus, now she has to worry about potential death threats.”

As Page Six previously reported, Goldberg referred to Jews and Nazis as “two groups of white people” during Monday’s show, adding that the Holocaust was about “inhumanity” and “not race.”

Her remarks sparked international backlash on social media where “#firewhoopi” started trending, plus wide condemnation from the Israeli Consular General in New York and the Auschwitz Memorial and Anti-Defamation League.

Goldberg then returned to “The View” on Tuesday, where she opened the show by stating she “misspoke.”
