Conservative editor backtracks after seeming to use n word regarding Haitian migrants
Rich Lowry seemed to have used the racial slur in place of the term "migrants" while speaking to Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM show. He's now claimed he didn't.
My thoughts: this was not an accident. This was testing the waters.
I wonder what the person who absolutely insisted to me yesterday that this wasn't about black people in general would have to say about this...
You're viewing a single thread.
Is there an audio clip?
Even better, there is a video of it. He definitely said it.
I was all but bending over backwards trying to hear how it might have been just a slip, bringing to bear the fact that both words have a nasal consonant and hard 'g' sounds, but... nope. He enunciates an 'n' again, clearly after he's done saying "Haitian" and therefore where it doesn't belong, and then he gets all the way to the hard '-er', a “murmur diphthong” that simply doesn't exist in 'immigrant' or 'migrant'. The most charitable explanation with any plausibility whatsoever is that the n-word is a part of his spoken vocabulary and he failed to censor himself quickly enough.
Fuckin' gross.
Yeah I have Threads in my uBlock filters. Watched the clip and, yeah, that's a hard N if I've ever heard one.
I don't see it. Is it the Threads link I have blocked?
Same, the embedded media is dead for me too.
