National Review Editor-in-Chief, Rich Lowry, uses n-word on The Megyn Kelly Show while discussing Haitian migrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio
Rich Lowry, the long-time editor of esteemed conservative journal National Review, had an eyebrow-raising appearance on ‘The Megyn Kelly Show.’
I kinda want to see the clip, but not enough to visit Twitter
94I 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
17You clearly did not take the hit. He gets the entire word out before correcting to migrants.nvm I need sleep.

They have the clip in the article, you don't have to go to twitter and it's clear as day.

Whether or not he meant to say migrant or n- is irrelevant. It’s up to us citizens to create these stories so the mainstream media knows of the suffering of non-whites.
67He actually said it and they just kept rolling like it was normal bro wtf
46Was 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.
46Oh he fucking knew.
39Yes 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.

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. "
21There they go, saying the quiet parts out loud again.

3Did he try to make a fucking Letterkenney joke to get out of that?
7He certainly fucking said that.
6Yeah this won't end in a bit boondocks has already done a decade ago.
2Almost feels like he was reading a telepromter that had split the word “mig-rants” across two lines
1Racists don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
23Hanlon's Razor doesn't apply to racists. Got it.

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.

Bro, I know these folks are assholes, but come on, let's not make shit up, we are better than that. He clearly said mig... then fixed it, because he was about to say it is "mig-rants", not "my-grants". This is not even close to the N word. Lol
Edit: also, shame on the dailybeast for this misleading bullshit to generate more clicks, that was just fucking pathetic.
-23I hear a clearly pronounced n word.
21Don'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"...
7We all make these types of mistakes, but some people on the Internet just want to some bullshit to hang on to. They make fun of the right for the same things they're doing.

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.

Meh. Sounds like he caught himself saying “meegrants” instead of “mygrants”
-17It definitely sounds like an 'n' sound.
And his mouth doesn't close when he says it, so it certainly looks like an 'n' sound.
But I'll humor you on the suggestion that he just pronounced "mig" funny: Why did he pronounce "rents" as "iggers"?
17No, 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.
9Sounds like you're lying. Because the clip is in the article and he clearly gets the entire word off before correcting himself.
5Watched 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.
