    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”.

        Play the video at 0.5 speed, close your eyes, and hold your phone up to your ear.

          I did just that. I clearly here a je as in college at the end.

          I don’t like Fox or anything they stand for, but this level of hair splitting is just bad.

            Fox news anchors are genuinely fucking insane, the clips I’ve seen in the past week are enough evidence of that.

            But this man almost certainly said college not coloured. There is clearly no D sound at the end of the word. The lemmy users in this thread saying he 100% said coloured are out to fucking lunch and are adding to my recent desire to leave this website.

            Can we have leftist debate without turning into rabid reactionaries please? jfc
