Overview

• American political scientist Carol Christine Fair used a vulgar Hindi/Urdu insult for President Donald Trump during an interview on Moeed Pirzada’s program.
• In the clip, Fair criticized the competence of Trump administration officials and said the U.S. bureaucracy has worked on the India relationship for 25 years.
• Fair first used the slur while contrasting optimism about bureaucratic continuity with concern over the administration’s next four years, then repeated it emphatically.
• Host Moeed Pirzada chuckled at the remark, and the short video spread widely on social media on August 25–26 with users posting jokes and mockery.
• Reports identify Fair as an associate professor in Georgetown University’s Security Studies Program, and no institutional response was reported at the time of publication.
