Lemon on Whoopi: I Also Say Things that I Regret, If the Apology Is Sincere, We Should Allow People to Move On

EXCERPT:

LEMON: “I'm going to say it, I thought what Whoopi said was clumsy. Do I think she's anti — an anti-Semite? I don't think. Do I think that she can learn some things? Absolutely. I think that she can. But I think in this moment we need to think about intent. We need to think of who our allies are, and we need to — there's a difference between someone who is marching on the street with a Swastika, or, you know, a crazy Auschwitz t-shirt, than someone who is on a show called 'The View.' Right? Because I say I'm on the show every night, and I say things that I regret all the time, and sometimes it comes out of my mouth and I want to pull it back. Right? And I think as long as we can learn from that, and if the apology is sincere, I think we should allow people to move on and not so-called cancel them.”
