not even an uncle. that’s cousin tommy
Just here to say I’m Canadian, so I’m not part of either of your political parties, but that guy says ‘coloured.’ I have no fucking idea how anyone hears ‘college’ in there. There’s no ‘g’ sound, it ends with a ‘d’ sound; I can see people are willing to bend over backward to change this, but it’s quite clear.
You aren’t a part of either? Sorry to say, but American politics has a huge influence on your country and the rest of the world (to some extent)
“Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.” -Pierre Elliot Trudeau
As for me, I wouldn’t support either party if they were in my country, because I am a Left-wing voter. I have far, far, far, far more options.
Got a clip?
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
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.
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.

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”.
I don’t know how anyone could have possibly heard that as college. To me he quite obviously says “co-ed” which also happens to make more sense if you read their about page:
The Trailblazers of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated Zeta Phi Beta Sorority would be remiss not to pay homage to the first women who believed in the need for a new and different type of Greek-lettered organization and acted upon that need. To these women, Zeta was more than an organization – it was a movement. This belief system reflected, at its core, the desire to provide true Service, embrace Scholarship, set a standard for Sisterly Love, and define the noble concept of Finer Womanhood. This belief has sustained and encouraged Zetas worldwide to hold fast to the ideals initiated and developed by its earliest members.
The Founders of Zeta were strong, principled coeds who possessed a great deal of modesty, strength of character, and pride in academic achievement. They are a worthy foundation upon which to base our illustrious Sorority.
To me he quite obviously says “co-ed”
Maybe, except there’s no reason to say “co-ed sorority” since all sororities are co-ed by definition - I’ve never before heard anyone say “co-ed sorority”. That’s also what makes “college sorority” unlikely (sororities are almost always associated with college), leaving “colored sorority” as the most reasonable interpretation.
If it wasn’t historically relevant, why would they use the word on their page? Coed is relevant because women used to segregated or not be eligible for higher education at all. He’s taking a shot at women, not people of colour. He yearns for the times women “knew their place” (ugh, I feel gross just typing that) and didn’t seek education or a career.
In any case, that clip sounds to me like “coloured” only a tiny bit more than it sounds like “college”, which is to say, not much.
