Now, just days after the article\u2019s publication, Whoopi is once again apologizing for her remarks after being slammed by critics.

I tried to convey to the reporter what I had said and why, and attempted to recount that time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite seemingly still being hung up on her original ideologies about the Holocaust in the interview, the 67-year-old claimed she had learned a lot from her first round of backlash, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt 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.
