Kelly Osbourne offends Latinos in her criticisms against Donald Trump on The View

Kelly Osbourne attempted to call out Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for his comments against undocumented immigrants but ended up offending Latinos and her fellow co-hosts on ABC's The View.

"If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?" Osbourne said on the 4 August episode. "You know what I mean?"

According to CNN, Osbourne's comments followed a discussion by her fellow co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Michelle Collins, Raven-Symoné and Rosie Perez on Trump's recent rise in the polls and his comments on immigration. The real estate mogul has quickly surpassed his fellow Republican candidates becoming the front-runner in the GOP field.

"There are a lot of Latinos here in this country that do agree that the immigration problem is a problem and it does need to be addressed and it does need [to be] fixed," Perez said. "But, making those comments, those racist comments, do not help."

Following her foot-in-mouth moment, Osbourne's co-hosts can be heard immediately disapproving of her comments. The British TV show host began backtracking when she realised her co-host had taken her comments wrong.

"Latinos are not the only people to do that," Perez told Osbourne. To which she responds, "Come on, you know I would never mean it like that."

Osbourne later apologised for her comments in a Facebook post, writing:

I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions. In this particular case I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words but I will not apologize for being a racist as I am NOT. I whole-hearted f****d up today. I don't want to bulls**t anyone with lame excuses. Although, I was stopped mid-sentence by Rosie and couldn't finish my point I will not let Rosie take responsibility for my words. I should have known better as I was on The View and it was live. I've learned a very valuable lesson. It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole. By the way I clean my own f*****g toilets.

For her part, Perez issued her own apology to her co-host in a tweet reading, "My apologies @KellyOsbourne, I took your point wrong-#Trump #Latinos. My bad. You're heart is so pure & righteous. I adore you. @TheView"

However, social media was not as quick to forgive Osbourne for her comments. "Kelly Osbourne's toilet comment was said so matter-of-factly. She really thought she was making a positive contribution to the discussion," tweeted Francine Derby.

Another Twitter user, Ally Russell (@Cheeky_Fiasco) tweeted, "Kelly Osbourne is a perfect example of why privileged white people should just shut the hell up."

Trump, on the other hand, has not responded to Osbourne's comments.
