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.
Same. It's funny when you hit an "article" that is really just a wrapper for a tweets with about a paragraph of actual text remaining.
Yup. Whenever I come across an article with a bunch of blank spaces where tweets are supposed to be, I know the “article” wouldn’t have been worth my time anyway. It’s one of the laziest kinds of journalism.
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
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.
He actually said it and they just kept rolling like it was normal bro wtf
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.
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.
Counter offer: he puts “Haitian” and n-word together so often in private it just rolled out.
This is my bet.
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
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
