Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — Authorities said they have arrested a suspect in the early Saturday beating of a man outside a Florida mosque that Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen had attended, and an Islamic group said the victim was a Muslim.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations said racial slurs were made by the attacker, though authorities said they had no immediate indication of any racially motivated comments. Authorities said, however, that they were continuing to investigate.

St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken J. Mascara said deputies were called to the Fort Pierce Islamic Center at 4:11 a.m. Saturday by a caller who said someone was attempting to burglarize a vehicle. His statement said deputies found a man bleeding from the mouth who said he was approached by a man who “asked him what he was doing and then punched him several times in the face and head.”

Am I missing something to do with some hidden idiom? It sounds like something Bush would have said, lolol.

It's a coinage by Sarah Palin, who could not get words out of her mouth fast enough so she combined repudiate with refute.

The alternate explanation is that she sorta, kinda, mostly didn't know what either word meant so combined them for double the impact.

Repudiate : To refuse to accept or be associated with.


Refudiate : When Sarah Palin decides regular English words aren't good enough, she'll just go ahead and make a new one. Here, Refudiate bridges the gap between "refuse" and "repudiate", to mean exactly what she wants it to mean.
