“The View” was all kinds of heated during Tuesday’s Hot Topics when the issue of Donald Trump and immigration came up.
While discussing Trump’s polarizing views on immigration, guest co-host Kelly Osbourne made a comment that she has since apologized for.
“If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump? In the sense that…you know what I mean? But I’m saying that in L.A., they always…” Kelly said on Tuesday’s show.

“Latinos are not only the only people doing that,” co-host Rosie Perez jumped in with.
“No, I didn’t mean it like that! Come on! I would never mean it like that! I’m not part of this argument,” Kelly added.

Later on Tuesday, Kelly released a statement about her comment.
“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**ked up today. I don’t want to bullsh*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,” she said. “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.
Adding, “By the way I clean my own f**king toilets.”
