Cleaner hyperlink if the above fails
edit: guy obviously says “colored”, not “college”, and the context is damning
I literally sat there while the video loaded going “college college college” because I know how some things can actually be ambiguous (I’m thinking of noise, not speech though) and you might hear the last word that was “close enough”, and I figured if I hear “colored” even after that, it’s bad.
And it’s bad
I genuinely can’t see how someone hears “college” from that.
How about a non twitter link? That place is for people who say shit like this
Great idea. When will you have the link ready?
Welcome to grassroots volunteer work.
Well the context was him talking about a sorority so it’s not really at all damning. I hate fox news as much as the next guy but it could easily be one or the other. If you listen to it while saying either word in your mind, they both slip right in.
I’m more frustrated by the fact he mentioned healthcare as if to imply she didn’t do enough? When have Republicans ever been pro-healthcare? It seems like blatant manipulation.
He was comparing events someone could have attended. He was minimizing the importance of the event that was attended.
He was further minimizing the importance of the event because it was a colored event. Then, he stated she should’ve distanced herself from the organization.
If you choose to be blind then you’ll do it alone. It’s not like MAGA or neolibs. There’s no bandwagon to provide psychological safety for failures most overcome in high school.

The next guy might be wearing a red hat, then…
Thanks! Looks like the link you provided doesn’t work (at least for me), but if the GET params are removed, it does:

I dislike Kilmeade as much as the next guy, but he very clearly said: “a COLLEGE sorority”. There’s not even any ambiguity about it.
Edit: To those downvoting me: just re-play the part where he says “sorority, a college sorority” a few times. You can very clearly hear him enunciating the “ge” sound in “college”. If you’re downvoting because you want him to have said “colored” because it’ll fit some narrative you want, you’re an idiot.
No, he says colored. It is a historically black sorority, and as someone pointed out, there is no reason to point out it is a college sorority.
Also, he seems made he is meeting them in the summer. Did he go home and live with Mom and Dad ever summer? I know a lot of people that stayed on campus every summer.
I also listened to the streamable link, still hear colored.
Lastly, the fact the Republican leaders said don’t say anything racist or sexist, and Fox News doesn’t care, tells me what he said and how he feels.

Like, I agree with you that “college sorority” is redundant, but that’s what he said. I understand that it’s a black sorority, and so in the context “colored sorority” would make sense, especially given his history of racist gaffes. So I’d love to agree with you, but that’s not what he said. The audio is the audio, and it doesn’t include the word “colored”.
He did not very clearly say that. I have not heard anyone say college like “call-leg”.
However, I do concede that it isn’t clearly color, either.
I suspect his mind wanted to say “colored” and he corrected himself halfway to “col-legd”.
Is this going to be another one of those Yanny / Laurel things?
Here’s the clip, with the section highlighted. It seems very clear to me, at least, that he’s saying “college”:
