"Greg Gutfeld Sparks Controversy by Claiming Slur Word Is 'Now Acceptable'"

Former GOP congressman Lee Zeldin used the word "retarded" on Fox News to describe Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's ideas, and was reassured by host Greg Gutfeld that it was "OK." Gutfeld's comment was made on his political satire show, but the word is considered offensive and derogatory. Zeldin's use of the word came during a discussion about Ocasio-Cortez's stance on the Keystone XL pipeline, and he expressed a desire to confront her about it.
