      It definitely sounds like an ‘n’ sound.

      And his mouth doesn’t close when he says it, so it certainly looks like an ‘n’ sound.

      But I’ll humor you on the suggestion that he just pronounced “mig” funny: Why did he pronounce “rents” as “iggers”?

        No, you see, he’s been studying ventriloquism and just fell into the habit of replacing m with n. And also pronounces migrants weird, like he’s only ever read it and not heard it pronounced, since Republicans are all such avid readers and how often does immigration really come up in their conversations?

          Exactly! And of all people an editor-in-chief pretty much rarely encounters the written word. That position and the entire industry around it aren’t exposed to words that often so it’s totally excusable.

      I was hoping he misspoke migrants and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I hear a clearly pronounced n word.

      Sounds like you’re lying. Because the clip is in the article and he clearly gets the entire word off before correcting himself.

      Watched the clip before hitting the comments and this is 100% accurate. Not to kink shame, but rejecting the evidence of your eyes and ears isn’t one of mine.
