Unfortunately, the clip had already reached wide audiences, with tweets like Alex Cole’s: “Yo, Did Brian Kilmeade just say ‘Colored Sorority’? They can’t control their racism over there on Fox News,” who also tweeted two hours later: “If you’re explaining, ‘No, I didn’t actually use a racist slur,’ then guess what? You already lost.”

Cole may be referring to Brian Kilmeade’s defense on his radio show. 

“I’ve never used that word in my life,” Kilmeade said. “If you’re listening to what I’m saying, if you know where she’s speaking, why would I even say that? This is an example of how everybody is looking to jump on other people for no reason … People, use your heads. Don’t look for something trending on Twitter and just assume it’s true. I hope we’re smarter than that by now.”

Party chair of the Democratic National Committee Jaime Harrison tweeted: “‘A COLORED sorority’…in 2024 on national tv…this clown thought it was correct and appropriate to use the term ‘colored’ to describe a distinguished and historic African American sorority. But what is even worse…a Black man sat a few feet away on that couch and didn’t correct him. He was as quiet as a church mouse. Folks be prepared for the racism and misogyny… but let’s put them on notice, America is now ‘unburdened’ and we ain’t going back!!”

One response to Harrison’s tweet came from the co-host of Fox and Friends Lawrence Jones: “I’m the black man. You’re so damn dishonest. He said ‘college.’ But that’s all you have. You know the bullshit that you advocate for only brings death, poverty, and destruction to our black communities. You are welcome on the show anytime to debate it. Me and you.”

And X’s new “Explore” function proved as helpful as Daniels’s initial mishearing. Right now the item about the furore is titled “Kilmeade’s ‘Colored Sorority’ Comment Sparks Debate.” News you can use!
