Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
