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.

    There’s so many real examples of conservative racism out there. You don’t need to make up fake ones.

    This is the exact same sort of shit conservatives do whenever Biden drops some elderly language. It’s gross, and needlessly desperate.

      BINGO. the most frustrating part of dealing with these types of commenters is that they always lack the awareness to see that they’re operating in the same way that the bad-faith repubs do.

      Yep. Like, goddamn. Vance admitted he made up the story. Theres so much racism baked into this ENTIRE news story, that focusing on someone misspeaking is missing the forest for the trees.
