Rich Lowry Faces Backlash Over Racial Slur Incident

National Review editor-in-chief Rich Lowry is facing significant backlash after appearing to almost utter the N-word during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show. The incident occurred while Lowry was discussing false claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. Lowry has denied using the racial slur, stating that he began to mispronounce the word 'migrants' and corrected himself mid-sentence. His defense is supported by colleagues like Andy McCarthy and Megyn Kelly, who claim it was a simple mispronunciation. However, many on social media remain unconvinced, analyzing the clip and insisting that Lowry did indeed almost say the slur. This controversy reflects broader tensions over race and immigration rhetoric in American media and politics.
