He obviously misspoke but that's hilarious

[–] AGM@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

This and referring to everyone on stage as "contestants" were both pretty funny.

can someone explain this to me?

Canadian leadership debate tonight, guy on the right is carney, guy on the left is Pierre Polievere or PP.

Carney asked about PP's refusal to get a security clearance despite being leader of the opposition in parliament. PP was stumbling in his response.

[–] loomy@lemy.lol 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ok but why would he be gay for getting a clearance?

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

As someone else mentioned, he was probably trying to say the word 'gagged' and he talks weird.

This guy is weird enough that he can't even have media around unless he is scripted, so it doesn't surprise me.

I hate the guy but I was actually surprised with his debate performance tonight

In the next 10 seconds he said 'gagged' so pretty mild fuckup I think

[–] loomy@lemy.lol 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

thats mildly entertaining tho

I mean. That reaction by Carney is excellent clowning.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I hate defending a moron, but I'm also for fairness. If you listen closely, you can hear the "-gged" it's just not well pronounced.

He had no problem being gagged in that moment, clearly.

[–] AChiTenshi@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a slip up on PPs part. He's trying to say gagged but either due to getting the thought from his brain to his mouth getting mixed up, or just slipping up on the word It sounds much more like gay.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

freudian slip.

Gagged. Are you all really hearing gay or is this a big troll?

[–] AChiTenshi@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

I heard gay on my first viewing. After playing it again I picked up on what he was actually trying to say. I think k it's something along the lines of mondegreen where you can hear the wrong words in songs.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not a troll. I heard it when I watched live and didn't figure out he meant gagged until he said it a second time. Listening to it again I can hear it either way, his pronunciation at the end is just a little off.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

PP is gay, make it known to his shitty conservative voters pls.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They see him as a strongman. You won't have any luck with this.

[–] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I think that's why conaervatives like PP but not JT.

Conservatives want to be the bottom so they don't like leaders they can fuck but rather prefer leaders who can fuck them.

[–] Nuxleio@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Holy shit guys. I need to get my security clearance!

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Every accusation is a confession...

Seriously, probably meant to say gagged, and failed miserably. I still think it's a shit excuse.

Did PP's wife (who is present in way too high a percentage of his publicity material) know about this in advance? 🀣

[–] Lectral@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

He just took a drink of water too. Imagine if Carney had done a spit take.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

He needs the Forrest Gump "d" in there.

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He obviously said gagged. It literally sounds more like gagged than gay even if he did mispronounce.

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree it's obvious he meant to say "gagged", but it absolutely sounds like he said "gay".

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah he said it like Gaygd

It's a 17 second video…

[–] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 15 points 1 year ago

Weird, Voyager is just displaying it as an image. Opening it in Firefox linked me to the Imgur video.

My bad!
