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.

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.

It sounded like "co-ed" to me.
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.
He was comparing events someone could have attended. He was minimizing the importance of the event that was attended.
He was further minimizing the importance of the event because it was a colored event. Then, he stated she should've distanced herself from the organization.
If you choose to be blind then you'll do it alone. It's not like MAGA or neolibs. There's no bandwagon to provide psychological safety for failures most overcome in high school.

The next guy might be wearing a red hat, then..
You can click on my history. I'm left enough that I'm essentially a commie.
I'm voting for whoever the Dems want at this point, hell I'd vote for bush if he switched sides and the Dems decided on him.
I don't participate in circle jerks however, no matter who it benefits.

With ideological and just logical consistency like that, I have no doubt that you WOULD indeed vote for a war criminal as long as he was representing your team 🤦
Sadly, I'm at the point where anybody is better than trump and his crazies. Ideally, we would have a proper political system that didn't force us into one camp or the other but you have to be realistic about things.

I like how all Fox shows have a bimbo sitting between white dudes that talk.
College
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.

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".

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".
Is this going to be another one of those Yanny / Laurel things?
Here's the clip, with the section highlighted. It seems very clear to me, at least, that he's saying "college":

Anything other than Twitter???
The other side says he's saying "college". I listened twice. It could be either.
What other kind of sorority is there that he would need to clarify it is a college sorority?
Don't buy their attempt at damage control.
Yeah, he wasn't trying to make a distinction between "college sororities" and "high school sororities," because the latter doesn't even exist.
He said "colored," and the shred of humanity that's buried in the base of his skull tried in vain to stop the word coming out as it passed his lips.
Haven't bought a thing, but my money's back in my wallet.
He said college.
If you wanna know why it's probably best to ask the guy..
Maybe ask the guy sitting next to him who looked pissed off rather than the guy trying to cover his ass after the party was instructed to tone down the racism?

Yes. That's why he's being glared at.
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.

I heard the clip.
It sounds like “collidg”. I don’t think I can say he used the word “colored”, but I will say it seemed like he started to and then swallowed the last half of “college” because his linguistic buffer crashed.
Sounded like "co-ed" to me. If it was meant to be "colored" he uwu'd it into "cowowed".
It was definitely garbled. By him. With his mouth.
I thought about “co-ed”, but what sorority is co-ed?

Americans desperate to make it about race again.
'college."
Fraternities and Sororities are called frats and sorority only, as they are typically found only in higher education like college. Calling it a "college sorority" is dumb and not normal. That host isn't dumb. He clearly said colored.

What do you mean again? These hateful mother fuckers never stopped making it about race.
there's so much blatantly racist shit but yes let's focus on one word that could very well be a small mistake. Not typical of us lefties at all
