Caitlyn Jenner has recently been subject to intense online criticism due to a blunder concerning her use of slurs. The reality star, 74, is a fan of US President Donald Trump and got into an argument with Piers Morgan over the former president.
Donald Trump Jr. recently complained about the fact that it is generally not socially acceptable to use ‘the R word’ and Caitlyn responded that she was not afraid to use it. She wrote: ‘I’ll say it RETARTED!’ However, she misspelled the word, causing a huge stir online.
People were quick to call out Caitlyn's mistake, with one Twitter user writing "misspelling that word specifically is so goddamn funny." Another added it was an "all time classic" moment on Twitter, whilst another declared "to be so loud & still misspell it is bats**t crazy."
The 'R word' is considered a form of hate speech and was replaced with the term 'intellectual disability' in the US Federal Law in 2010 after then-president Barack Obama signed 'Rosa's Law'.
Caitlyn's unwavering support for Trump saw her get into an online argument with former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan last year. She took issue with a teaser for Piers' show 'Uncensored' which appeared to show Trump storming off set. In response, she wrote on Twitter: "This is a pathetic attempt to use President Trump as a way to revive the career of a failed television host..."
Piers responded to Caitlyn, saying: "Hi Caitlyn, I thought you hated cancel culture? I did a 75-minute interview with President Trump, why don’t you actually watch it before deciding how I behaved?"
It is clear that the online community is not afraid to call out Caitlyn for her mistake and her support for the former president. Her blunder serves as a reminder that no one should be using slurs, regardless of their political beliefs.
