You also wish for the same freedom for those with whom you hold differing views. In contrast, intolerant leftists would not offer you such consideration, as they see themselves as morally superior and would quickly seek to silence or harm you if given the chance. Recently, a video clip that gained significant attention on social media accused National Review Editor-in-Chief Rich Lowry of using a racial slur during his appearance on &#8220;The Megyn Kelly Show.&#8221; This claim was dismissed as &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; by Andy McCarthy, Lowry&#8217;s colleague at National Review. At the 42-second mark of the clip, Lowry&#8217;s words were interpreted by some as resembling that slur\u2014an interpretation primarily held by those eager to believe negative things about him without further investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Madeline Peltz from Media Matters shared this clip and expressed her belief in its implications regarding Lowry\u2019s comments. Before spreading potentially defamatory information, one might wonder if she genuinely thought he used that term or if she simply couldn&#8217;t resist an opportunity to attack a long-standing conservative figure. As of Tuesday morning, her post had garnered 8.7 million views.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, other extreme leftists amplified her accusations: some claimed that Lowry had indeed used the slur while defending Trump and others made similar assertions without context or evidence.<\/p>\n<p>In response to these allegations, McCarthy clarified what actually transpired: he explained that Lowry mistakenly mispronounced &#8220;migrants,&#8221; confusing it with &#8220;immigrants,&#8221; and corrected himself immediately without any embarrassment because it was clearly an error. Lowry later confirmed this explanation himself.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters like David French from The New York Times and linguist John McWhorter also defended him against these claims of racism; they described it as merely a slip of the tongue rather than any indication of racist intent.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Shapiro criticized Peltz for being \u201cinsanely dishonest\u201d in sharing such accusations against someone he described as one of the best people in American politics.<\/p>\n<p>The notion that Lowry uttered a racial slur should seem absurd except to those on the far left who are influenced by mainstream propaganda narratives about conservatives being inherently racist. Unfortunately, many have absorbed these misleading portrayals and continue to propagate them based on their biases rather than facts.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, devoted leftists are unlikely to accept that what happened was simply an innocent verbal mistake; instead, they prefer believing he did use offensive language so they can justify silencing him and others who share similar viewpoints<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2342337,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kelly-and-Lowry.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[38157,3691,41057],"class_list":["post-2342336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-conservative-media","tag-left","tag-n-word-scandal"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kelly-and-Lowry.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2342336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2342337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2342336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2342336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2342336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
