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.

I wonder what the person who absolutely insisted to me yesterday that this wasn’t about black people in general would have to say about this…

    I’m gonna be honest, this is a stretch. I watched the clip. Whatever he was about to say definitely sounds like it was starting with an M, not an N. His lips are in a closed shape at that moment, which you’d see with an M sound and not an N. With the context of what he’s saying, it really sounds like he was trying to say “migrant” and “immigrant” at the same time.

    Don’t get me wrong, this dude’s a dipshit for dozens of other reasons. But there’s nothing here this time. This really doesn’t seem to be worth any amount of energy.
