National Review Editor Nearly Slips, Appears To Catch Himself Using N-Word To Describe Haitians

This is disgusting.

There are times when Megyn Kelly is an outright racist and doesn’t even try to hide it. Even when people like Rich Lowry, the editor-in-chief of The National Review, talk about recent interviews in bilious terms. “I loved it, I think it was in that interview where Dana Bash says that the police have gone through 11 months of recordings of calls and they’ve only found two Springfield residents calling to complain about Haitian n*ggers…um immigrants taking geese from ponds.”

Oops! Lowry should at the very least be embarrassed that he was this stupid on The Megyn Kelly Show, but he just blows right past it. And Kelly is an accomplice in this disgusting behavior because all she does is offer a bemused smile instead of cutting his mic.

Of course, Kelly dances around the whole racism thing because she’s still in the closet here. Even if her racist leaks out in the most unflattering terms. If you remember, while she was still at Fox News she declared that both Jesus and Santa Claus were white, Politico reported at the time. But by now, we know all those paintings that portray Jesus as a blue-eyed blonde just don’t cut it anymore.

This bit of disgusting racism caught political blogger Steve Marmel’s attention and he had no patience with this. Frankly, no one should permit this bit of cruel nonsense to go unnoticed so kudos to him for bringing this to our attention.

“Here’s Rich Lowry, Editor-In-Chief of the Nation Review, using the N-word to describe Haitians “by mistake” and Megyn Kelly’s reaction when they cut back to her. She did not react when they cut back to her. She did not react to it. Just smiled. She did not react to it. Just smiled. This is what they ALL mean. And why Trump and MAGA must lose.”

And Marmel is right. What these people are really trying to do is normalize the N-word. No one can convince me that this isn’t true. Marmel followed up with this clip for the doubters.

Social media users were also offended and said so.

@Lori_simplyme responded “Hope he’s fired,….as he’s proved he’s racist.

“This is who MAGA is – the modern day KKK,” @Zion Darwood explained. “They’re so close to just going ahead and owning it now.”

“Megyn Kelly loves a STRONG man who tells her, “Blood was coming from wherever”. Racism and misogyny go together. She smiles while a bigoted man spews hateful RACIST words,” @Kimmi1965 responded.

“It started with “Black jobs”, turned to Haitians “eating pets”, and has now evolved into the N-word being used on National News. VOTE,” @Blkhippiee wrote.

We really do need to step up and vote. Words like N*gger should never, ever be normalized and that’s what these folks are trying to do. As for Lowry, he’s doing damage control, trying to say he didn’t say the N-word when the clip makes it crystal clear that he did” per The Wrap. What a coward. Just own up to it dude.

Shameful and disgusting. Another four years of the Tangerine Scream will ensure that words like this will become normalized. And we really don’t need to go back to the 1860s. Really, we don’t.
