Sep 16, 2024, 07:36 PM
Rich Lowry, editor of the conservative publication National Review, is facing backlash after a viral video from September 16 showed him appearing to almost use a racial slur to describe Haitian migrants during an interview on The Megyn Kelly Show. Lowry has denied using the slur, stating that he mispronounced the word 'migrants' and quickly corrected himself. The incident has sparked widespread criticism and debate, with some defending Lowry, asserting it was an innocent mistake, while others are condemning the remarks as indicative of deeper issues. The controversy has drawn attention to the sensitive nature of language used in public discourse, particularly regarding race and immigration.
