Of Course Whoopi Goldberg Is Defending Kelly Osbourne's Racist Remarks
LatestThe sun rose this morning. The tide came in and out. And Whoopi Goldberg unnecessarily defended the offensive behavior of some idiot.
To the surprise of exactly no one, Whoopi Goldberg plopped herself down on the The View stage this morning and proceeded to defend Kelly “Nepotism Is the Only Reason I’m Here” Osbourne after she wondered out loud on live television: “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump?
Via the Hollywood Reporter:
“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’s what she was trying to say,” Goldberg said. “One of the things that happens on live TV is you try to get your point in and you try to hit it and you sometimes step in dog doo. It does not make you a racist. … Sometimes your head works faster than your mouth. It happens.”
So I have an interesting solution: Perhaps if you don’t have the skill of being able to properly translate what you’re thinking in your brain to what comes out of your mouth with some ease and consistency, DON’T TALK ABOUT SHIT ON LIVE TELEVISION.
This follows Osbourne’s own apology where she helpfully stated: “I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words but I will not apologize for being a racist as I am NOT.”
