Following Perez, guest co-host Kelly Osbourne confidently chimed in to ask, "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?" Naturally, the other hosts seemed particularly taken aback by the underlying generalization that all Latinos are maids or housekeepers that was implicit in her comment. Osbourne then tried to cover her tracks. "No, I didn't mean it like that. Come on, you know I would never mean it like that," she said. "I'm not part of this argument."However, regardless of her attempt at a save, Osbourne's words revealed that maybe she really should be a part of this argument.In a statement posted to her Facebook page after the show had aired, Osbourne apologized for her poor choice of words, but denied that her comments were racist. "I will not apologize for being a racist as I am NOT," she wrote. "I whole-hearted [sic] fucked up today." She ended the post by claiming that she cleans her "own fucking toilets."Unsurprisingly, social media users have not been all that impressed with Kelly's words.Follow Michael Cuby on Twitter.
