THE LADIES OF THE VIEW ARE FACING SOME HEAT AFTER
KELLY OSBOURNE MADE SOME QUESTIONABLE STATEMENTS ABOUT
LATINOS.
THEY WERE HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT DONALD TRUMP
AND HIS PREVIOUS STATEMENTS ABOUT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS,
SPECIFICALLY MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS, AND OF COURSE EVERYONE ON THE
PANEL SEEMED VERY OUTRAGED ABOUT WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAD TO SAY.
KELLY OSBOURNE WAS ONE OF THEM,
AND IN THIS NEXT CLIP YOU CAN JUDGE IT AS HER MISSPEAKING,
OR AS WHO SHE REALLY IS AND WHAT SHE REALLY THINKS.
IF YOU KICK EVERY LATINO OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, THEN WHO
IS GOING TO BE CLEANING YOUR TOILETS?
IN THE SENSE THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ñ
THERE'S MORE JOBS THAN ñ
THEY DON'T ñ
LATINOS ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE DOING THAT.
I DID NOT MEAN IT LIKE THAT, COME ON.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT TRUMP HIMSELF PROBABLY
RELIES ON A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE TO GIVE HIM SOMETHING.
OKAY, SO WHEN YOU ARE SPEAKING OFF-THE-CUFF, SOMETIMES YOU SAY
THINGS THAT ARE MISCONSTRUED, YOU DON'T MEAN IT THAT WAY.
I HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN A VICTIM OF SAYING THINGS THAT DID
NOT COME OUT THE WAY THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO.
SO, I WANT TO GIVE HER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, BUT
THAT WAS A PRETTY HARSH STATEMENT.
I'M GONNA GIVE HER THE COMPLETE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
WE KNOW WHAT SHE MEANS, AND WE
KNOW THAT SHE WAS STARTING TO SAY, AND SHE TRIED TO BACKTRACK
AND GET OUT OF IT, THAT A LOT OF LATINA WOMEN IN CALIFORNIA
CLEAN HOMES, AND THAT IS TRUE.
SHE WAS TAKING THE MOST DISGUSTING JOB THAT SOMEONE
DOES WHEN THEY ARE A HOUSEKEEPER, AND USING IT
AS AN EXAMPLE TO GO AFTER DONALD TRUMP.
I GIVE HER A PASS, SHE WAS NOT SAYING THAT IS THE ONLY JOB
AVAILABLE TO LATINOS.
SO THAT HAPPENED, AND WHAT WAS INTERESTING IS, IN THAT
CLIP YOU SEE ROSIE PEREZ HAVE A NEGATIVE REACTION TO IT.
AFTER THAT AIRED, SHE TOOK IT UPON HERSELF TO GO ON
TWITTER AND APOLOGIZE TO KELLY OSBOURNE FOR ñ
GOOD FOR HER ñ
YOU THINK SO?
I'M OKAY WITH PEOPLE GIVING HER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT,
BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU MISSPEAK VERY EASILY
WHEN YOU ARE SPEAKING OFF-THE-CUFF ON LIVE TELEVISION.
I HAVE BEEN THERE, SO I WANT TO HAVE SOME SYMPATHY.
I DO NOT KNOW KELLY OSBOURNE'S TRUE FEELINGS TOWARDS
MEXICANS, BUT ROSIE PEREZ DID NOT NEED TO APOLOGIZE.
I WOULD HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME REACTION HAD HAD BEEN ON
THAT PANEL.
I FEEL HER APOLOGY GOES OVER THE TOP.
SHE SAYS, "MY APOLOGIES KELLY OSBOURNE, I TOOK YOUR POINT
WRONG.
YOUR HEART IS SO PURE AND RIGHTEOUS, I ADORE YOU."
COME ON.
I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE
RESPONSE, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU, THIS IS A WORLD WHERE WE ARE
ALL READY TO BE OUTRAGED AND POINT OUR FINGERS AT KELLY OSBOURNE,
AND ROSIE PEREZ DID NOT WANT TO
ENGAGE IN THAT.
WHAT SHE CHOSE TO DO WAS SAY TO SOMEONE WHO I
SUSPECT IS HER FRIEND, I GOT YOU, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT, YOU
DID NOT MEAN ANYTHING WRONG.
YOU MAY HAVE CHOSEN YOUR WORDS
POORLY, BUT WE WERE SPEAKING OFF-THE-CUFF, WE ARE ALL GOOD,
WE KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT.
THAT WAS NOT SO MUCH A ROSIE PEREZ
APOLOGY AS THAT WAS A, I AM INSTANTLY GETTING KELLY
OSBOURNE OUT OF TROUBLE.
I FIGURE SHE WAS LOOKING OUT FOR A FRIEND.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG DID THE SAME THING, SHE SAID, "I WANT TO JUST
START BY MAKING SOMETHING CLEAR: THE POINT SHE WAS ACTUALLY
TRYING TO MAKE WAS THAT DONALD TRUMP'S STANCE ON IMMIGRATION
WILL ONLY END UP HURTING THE PEOPLE THAT DONALD TRUMP IS
COUNTING ON."
I THINK THAT RESPONSE IS OKAY, EVEN THOUGH
WHOOPI GOLDBERG HAS HAD SOME QUESTIONABLE THOUGHTS ON
BILL COSBY IN THE PAST.
I GIVE HER A PASS, I GET IT, IT IS REALLY HARD WHEN IT IS
YOUR FRIEND.
WHEN SOMEBODY YOU KNOW BECOMES A PUBLIC ENEMY
NUMBER ONE, EUPHEMISTICALLY, FOR
HIDEOUS THINGS.
FINALLY, WHOOPI GOLDBERG READ THE DEPOSITION, WE TALKED
ABOUT THE DEPOSITION IN THE LAST STORY, AND SHE WAS LIKE, I
GOTTA GO.
I THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, I'M CURIOUS
WHAT HAPPENED TO BILL COSBY'S WIFE.
I THINK YOU CAN DEFEND YOUR FRIEND ALL YOU WANT, BUT THERE
WAS A CRINGE WORTHY PART OF THE ROSIE PEREZ TWEET.
YOU'RE
LIKE, IT'S ALONG THE LINES OF YOUíRE THIS REGAL, AWESOME HUMAN
BEING, AND I'M SORRY THAT I ENCOUNTERED YOU WITH MY
STUPIDITY.
YOU'RE SO PURE AND RIGHTEOUS.
IT SEEMS VERY
WORSHIPING, TO WHERE, THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM, SHE CAME OFF
LOOKING LIKE SHE WAS TALKING DOWN ON A CERTAIN GROUP OF
PEOPLE, AND A PERSON FROM THE
GROUP HAS TO RESPOND ñ NOT HAS TO, RESPONDED WITH, YOU ARE SO
RIGHTEOUS AND PURE.
IT IS
PUTTING OF HIERARCHY IN PLACE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL
EXISTS.
I AGREE WITH YOU.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME MORE CONTEXT, SO
YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I HAD A VERY SIMILAR REACTION TO THE TWEET
THAT JAYAR HAD.
BEFORE SHE POSTED THIS TWEET, SHE POSTED ANOTHER
TWEET SAYING THAT SHE WAS SORRY
FOR BEING SO SENSITIVE.
IT IS
FINE, JUST SAY THAT YOU ARE
SORRY YOU MISUNDERSTOOD HER, SHE MISSPOKE, WE'RE FRIENDS,
LET'S MOVE ON.
SHE GETS TO HAVE THE SECOND RESPONSE, TOO.
AGAIN, LOOK WHAT
WE HAVE DONE, WE'RE INTO THE MINUTIAE OF WHAT THEY MEANT IN
THE TWEETS.
WE KNOW WHAT THE INTENT WAS, WE DO KNOW THAT KELLY OSBOURNE
DID NOT MEAN ANYTHING EVIL.
THERE WAS A SOMEWHAT UNDERSTANDABLE INITIAL
REACTION FROM PEOPLE, AND THEN EVERYONE DECIDED THAT THEY
DID NOT WANT TO HAVE A THING.
I'M PREPARED TO GO, LET'S NOT HAVE A THING.
I GOT IT, KELLY OSBOURNE'S WORDS WEREN'T PERFECT, THE TWEET
WASN'T PERFECT ñ
VIDEO BUFFERING ñ
ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE PUBLISHED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES SHOULD
HAVE THE ABILITY ñ
SHUT UP.
YOU GUYS ARE EMBARRASSING ME.
GOOGLE IT.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF DOING THAT, AND WE SHOULD STOP.
THAT'S ALL.
SHE CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS TO, I'M NOT MAD AT ROSIE PEREZ,
IT'S JUST THAT WE HAVE A HISTORY OF BOWING DOWN AND EXALTING
A DIFFERENT GROUP.
STOP, JUST CHILL OUT, IT'S OKAY.
SHE'S YOUR FRIEND, JUST DEFEND HER AND MOVE ON.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THOSE LEVELS, IT'S A HIERARCHY LEVEL.
STOP, SHE'S NOT BETTER THAN YOU.
SHE DOES HAVE A BRITISH ACCENT.
