National Review Editor-in-Chief, Rich Lowry, uses n-word on The Megyn Kelly Show while discussing Haitian migrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio
Conservative: I Didn’t Call Haitians N-Word During Megyn Kelly Interview
He actually said it and they just kept rolling like it was normal bro wtf
Oh he fucking knew.
Yes he did. I'd lay a hefty bet that he rehearsed it. Immigrant and the n-word aren't close enough to flub. Impregnate and Immigrant? Sure. And you can see him smirk. He's wanted to say this for a long, long time.
Was only a matter of time before somebody did it. I didn't have Rich Lowry on my racial-slur Bingo card, but I'm not exactly shocked, either.
There they go, saying the quiet parts out loud again.
Does this mean we can stop pretending the National Review is journalism? It never has been, but people like to present their stupidity as legitimate discourse. If I had to describe it briefly. I would call it "trying to make being a peasant exploited by your betters seem like a good moral choice using linguistic forms calculated to make the reader feel educated and superior. "
Did he try to make a fucking Letterkenney joke to get out of that?
He certainly fucking said that.
Yeah this won't end in a bit boondocks has already done a decade ago.
Almost feels like he was reading a telepromter that had split the word “mig-rants” across two lines
Racists don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
They do when youre assuming they are racist..
Then just attack his racist comments and not speaking. It’s not clear that’s what he said. There’s plenty of racist people who would never ever in a million years use that word. If they’re really so bad it’s easy to beat them on substance without resorting to gotchas that can happen to anyone
He gets the entire word out. There's nobody but him to blame. And also, unless it's a comedy show, they're still responsible for editing what they say. They can't just say, oh the teleprompter guy was playing a joke like this is Weekend Update on SNL.
Who the fuck uses a teleprompter for a podcast interview
Yeah, I agree. It just looked like that kind of flub
Meh. Sounds like he caught himself saying “meegrants” instead of “mygrants”
No, you see, he's been studying ventriloquism and just fell into the habit of replacing m with n. And also pronounces migrants weird, like he's only ever read it and not heard it pronounced, since Republicans are all such avid readers and how often does immigration really come up in their conversations?
I was hoping he misspoke migrants and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I hear a clearly pronounced n word.
Sounds like you're lying. Because the clip is in the article and he clearly gets the entire word off before correcting himself.
Watched the clip before hitting the comments and this is 100% accurate. Not to kink shame, but rejecting the evidence of your eyes and ears isn't one of mine.
I hear a clearly pronounced n word.
Don't know why the hate. I have no clue who this person is, maybe the're a pos..
But I could see my dumb ass doing this, having a long thought with points to hit, saying "mig" (like the plane) then vocalizing "er" to fill the silence while trying to remember how to say migrants because my brain knows damn well it doesn't start with "mig" even though those are the letters, ohh "mygrints"...
Reminiscent of how southern politicians used to pronounce "Negro." Not a whole lot better, and that's if you buy that he was saying "migrants" or "boo-urns" or whatever.
I kinda want to see the clip, but not enough to visit Twitter
I took the hit. They're trying to say that he mixed up "immigrants" and "migrants". He absolutely did not. You can hear it clear as day
You clearly did not take the hit. He gets the entire word out before correcting to migrants.nvm I need sleep.
Just visit the article; it's embedded.
Probably embedded via X. I block that domain on my LAN and I don't see a video.
They have the clip in the article, you don't have to go to twitter and it's clear as day.
It’s a hard-R “slip”. Though I think maybe it was actually intentional and he was just testing the waters for saying it out loud on national television tbh
