Piers Morgan has called on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to boycott Whoopi Goldberg, in response to their claim that the Holocaust was not about race.
After telling ABC's The View that "two groups of white people" were involved in the Nazi genocide, Goldberg apologized.
Morgan linked the snafu to previous comments about Harry and Meghan's misinformation, which came just a day after Joe Rogan expressed reservations about his Spotify podcast.
"WTF?" wrote to the former Good Morning Britain host on Twitter, after watching a video of Goldberg's comments. This is completely ridiculous. Wasn't it about race that 6 million Jews were killed? Will any renegade royalty or rock star boycott Whoopi Goldberg and/or ABC now because of this dangerous misinformation?
Ever since the royal exit of Harry and Meghan was announced, Morgan has referred to them as "renegade royals" on several occasions.
The couple have been vocal about the false information, most recently on January 30 when their spokesperson weighed in on Rogan's argument.
In protest against the discussion of a COVID-19 vaccine on his podcast, Morgan has expressed support for UFC commentators led by musicians Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.
WTF? This is insane. The extermination of 6 million Jews wasn’t about race???

Since Meghan and Harry have no current business relationship with Goldberg, it is unclear how their excommunication will work.
Maus, a graphic novel depicting Polish Jews who survived the Holocaust, was banned by a Tennessee school board due to concerns about profanity and nudity.
"I mean, it's about the Holocaust, and 6 million people were killed, but it didn't bother you?" Goldberg said. Let's be honest if we're going to do this. The Holocaust isn't about race, after all. It's not a race issue. It is about man's inhumanity towards his fellow man."
"But it's about white supremacy," said co-host Ana Navarro. It's all about hunting Jews, Gypsies and Roma."
"However, these are two white groups," Goldberg pointed out.
Later, Goldberg apologized for his comment on Twitter.
"On today's show, I said the Holocaust is not about race, but about man's inhumanity to man," the statement read.
"I guess I should have said it's about both." According to Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League, 'The Holocaust was about the Nazis' systematic destruction of the Jewish people—whom they regarded as a low caste.' I'm standing right
"I have always stood with Jews all over the world, and I will continue to do so." I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
