Whoopi Goldberg thinks people should give Janet Jackson a little grace over incorrect claims the singer recently repeated about Vice President Kamala Harris racial identity.

During a Monday segment of The View, the daytime talk-show moderator defended the music icon, who basically questioned the Democratic nominees Blackness during an interview with The Guardian published over the weekend.

Janet Jackson is not a political animal, Goldberg said before noting that the singer is also mourning for her brother Tito Jackson, who died last week .

Sometimes people get it wrong, and theyre wrong. They made a mistake, they were wrong. It happens, the moderator continued, adding, We all do it.

So, OK, a little grace for the girl. A little grace for the girl, Goldberg said about the Rhythm Nation artist.
