    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.

      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”…

        We 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.

          Yeah, this thread is kinda sad. Hivemind conclusion jumping without much thought put into it.

          Then people saying he rehearsed doing this? What’s there to gain? You get away with saying a racial slur on air? Woohoo…

          Occam’s razor people, is he some mastermind plotting to say it, a racist that let it slip, or mispronounced a word and fixed it on the go like us meat bags do on the daily?

          If he says racists often then sure he could be a racist that let it slip. But my money is on the brain having a hiccup.

      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.
