What do you think he was going for, N-word or bitch?

244

u/flynneva Mar 05 '25

N-word 100%. He came so close to saying it and showing his true colors

u/RoyalChris Mar 05 '25

Showing his true colours

Nice one

u/s0ulbrother Mar 05 '25

White hoods aren’t colored. They hate the colored

u/heyhotnumber Mar 05 '25

People of Color*

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '25

Them too

u/s0ulbrother Mar 05 '25

No they refer to them as the colored folk.

They aren’t exactly not racist

u/heyhotnumber Mar 06 '25 edited Mar 06 '25

And we are not them. Either use quotation marks to indicate they aren’t your words or speak respectfully.

Edit: You cannot even defend your usage of this phrase because you weren’t quoting anybody. You just used it the same as them and expect as pass because you’re paraphrasing?

Don’t use dehumanizing racist rhetoric. That’s disgusting and there is literally zero excuse.

u/paperthinpatience Mar 05 '25

Could’ve been both tbh…why limit his hate to one category…

2

u/ohhowcanthatbe Mar 05 '25

And he’d still get re-elected.

u/Nosnibor1020 Mar 05 '25

I didn't catch that.

u/fishmanprime Mar 06 '25

Comer's got no problem recognizing time for slurs and allowing them into the record.

u/Lumpy-Succotash-9236 Mar 06 '25

I thought it was going to be 'fucking bitch'

1

u/3Sinkpee Mar 06 '25

Couldn't he have just been saying "you... know". He's a dick and all, but your assuming doesn't make it true.

u/II_Dobby_II Mar 05 '25

Definitely not 100%. There is no possible way to know what he was going to say, because he didn't say anything. It sounded like it ended with an 've or an 'f.' At best it could have been "process of unanimous consent, you've bypassed this process" yada yada. At worst 'you fucking *insult*'. These people are demons, they give us irrefutably insane shit to criticize every day. Why reach? It looks bad at best, and illegitimizes our concerns at worst.

u/el-dongler Mar 05 '25

"Fucking idiot."

I know these racist bastards are, well, racist, but the ones that get elected are the ones who trained hard to remove those words from their vocabularies.

The ones who can't help themselves become aides and advisors.

u/comityoferrors Mar 05 '25

Artiles and Spencer seem to disagree.

He stopped himself from saying whatever it was that he wanted to. Maybe it was something more innocuous. But by your own logic, wouldn't he be trained to stop himself from saying what his actual thought was?

2

u/guava_eternal Mar 05 '25

He trying to start his hip hop career from the halls of Congress.

2

u/HeyWhatsItToYa Mar 05 '25

The next sound after "you" was an f. I'm guessing it was still something you can't say on your local news.

2

u/Accomplished_Egg6239 Mar 05 '25

Oh he wanted to say both. That’s why he hesitated. He didn’t know which one he wanted to use.

2

u/Telemere125 Mar 06 '25

Toss a coin, maybe even both.

2

u/Thisdarlingdeer Mar 06 '25

I’m guessing he probably had at least 10 words he could have used, what a schmuck.

u/BODYDOLLARSIGN Mar 06 '25

Bitch…

He was accused of both physical and mental abuse by an ex from 1993..

u/PenELane86 Mar 06 '25

Both, in conjunction

u/OldGuyInFlorida Mar 06 '25

a hyphenate?

u/Omagga Mar 05 '25

He was going for "You are not recognized," which is what he immediately said.

What the fuck are these comments...

u/GetOffMyDigitalLawn Mar 06 '25 edited Mar 06 '25

God this is such a fucking stretch. He literally continues his sentence and it started with "you".

I fucking hate being associated with people who will take something already bad, and then completely fucking nullify it by just making shit up.

“You know the process of unanimous consent, you-"

*gets distracted by the guy next to him passing a paper"

"-you are not recognized"

A bigger reach than Mr. Fantastic.

Nitch... I'm copyrighting this phrase and will enter my request for patent and then licensing soon.

u/EnigmaFrug2308 Mar 05 '25

You forgot, it went “You know the process of unanimous consent, you f…”

He was gonna called her a “fucking [N word]”

0

u/II_Dobby_II Mar 05 '25

I interpreted it as 've. As in 'you've disrespected,' 'you've bypassed' etc. It could have been so many things. I don't see how speculating the worst of the worst helps our cause here.

1

u/ioverated Mar 06 '25

It's definitely "you've" and he just lost his train of thought. You can tell previous to that he is already flustered and having trouble keeping his words straight.

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '25

You can't be this stupid

u/EnigmaFrug2308 Mar 05 '25

I have ears, man

1

u/GetOffMyDigitalLawn Mar 06 '25 edited Mar 06 '25

Wow your ears must be magic if they can hear what literally wasn't said. They also must be shit if they can't hear the fact that he continued his sentence which continued with the word "you".

What you're referring to is your imagination

u/Omegaking0 Mar 06 '25

This is reddit, they most certainly can 😂

u/-Profanity- Mar 06 '25 edited Mar 06 '25

Just so you know, if you fill in the words you think somebody would say with racial remarks, it's not actually them being the racist one...

edit: for the response below me, just so you know there is nothing more meaningless than replying with an insult then blocking somebody. I honestly don't understand why anyone would waste their time doing it. If you mean what you say, stick by your words and talk about them and maybe you'll change somebodies mind. That's what discourse used to be.

u/bardicjourney Mar 06 '25

And neither is the person you're replying to, as misguided as they are. Maybe you should grow out of your toddlers understanding of the topic before you join the conversation.

u/Blue165 Mar 05 '25

Picked up on that too.

-11

u/potpourripolice Mar 05 '25

But then he continued his sentence as he clearly intended. I hate that I’m defending this ass hat, but y’all are reaching too far

9

u/brandnewchemical Mar 05 '25

Woah, why are you pulling this out of absolutely fucking nowhere?

And why are other commenters pretending he was about to say anything racist?

He clearly wasn’t, he was repeating himself. He sucks and this clip sucked but let’s not pretend he was about to start throwing out the N-word.

Those sorts of lies do not help the cause, my friend.

u/West_Profession_7736 Mar 06 '25

Historically, it's what white men say when they trample on the rights of black women.

u/bfwolf1 Mar 06 '25

Do you honestly believe your own line of bullshit?

1

u/West_Profession_7736 Mar 06 '25

I spoke nothing but truth. You should learn American history.

12

u/Chuck_Finley_Forever Mar 05 '25

This is embarrassing by him but what you’re insinuating is a huge stretch.

He continues his sentence right after, which coincidentally started with the word “you”.

12

u/sticky_fingers18 Mar 05 '25

Thats not what he said. He said "you've" as he was about to continue his sentence regarding Pressley's actions. (As in, you have or have not done X,Y,Z as it relates to the articles)

The fucked up part was the blocking and dismissal of Pressley's attempt to enter articles, not a false insinuation of racism.

Let's not stir up fake shit please? We have more than enough of that these days

u/Chuck_Finley_Forever Mar 05 '25

What this congress guy doing is embarrassing but trying to paint it into a racial slur thing is almost as embarrassing.

2

u/Grettgert Mar 06 '25

OP is right, it's definitely "you've". But! I would not be surprised if he was about to say, "you've been a real bitch about this."

u/West_Profession_7736 Mar 06 '25

I'd have more respect for this yt man if all he did was call her a n*****. His actions in this clip are far more evil than any single racial slur

Its not virtue signaling dude. I'm calling out incorrect shit, which you and a bunch of others are echoing. Watch it again and listen to what he says.

I give zero fucks about James Comer. But he wasn't about to call her a bitch or an N word.

I saw and heard and “f” coming out of his little Comey hole

u/Homesteader86 Mar 05 '25

It's only a matter of time before one of them does. Then the entire GOP, and it's supporters, will state that he said "nagger" and try to gaslight us all.

South Park will become real life

u/Machadoaboutmanny Mar 06 '25

It was a “f” sound next

u/Altruistic_Bird2532 Mar 06 '25

Also, these guys talking about consent?

u/VisualSeries226 Mar 05 '25

Listen I don’t like this bastard either but he clearly says “you’ve”.

-2

u/GRAltima Mar 05 '25

That’s a leap

-3

u/GetOffMyDigitalLawn Mar 06 '25

It's not even leap, it's a rocket boosted jump to anyone who actually watched it. He got distracted by the guy next to him passing a paper and then he continues the sentence. It's just a lie.

What reason? I'm not clear on what you are trying to say. I'm not particularly familiar with this person other than the state and party they rep as stated in the title.

u/-Profanity- Mar 06 '25

I guess if the title of the post is a lie, you might as well lie about the contents too. I can see why you hate every day of 2025 if this is your approach to it.
