Conservative editor backtracks after seeming to use n word regarding Haitian migrants
Rich Lowry seemed to have used the racial slur in place of the term "migrants" while speaking to Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM show. He's now claimed he didn't.
My thoughts: this was not an accident. This was testing the waters.
I wonder what the person who absolutely insisted to me yesterday that this wasn't about black people in general would have to say about this...

“Guys the party switch is a myth we’re the party that abolished slavery”
Even during the Reconstruction Era, Indiana was both staunchly Republican and full of the KKK. And there was no shortage of racism irrespective of party in Congress during the height of the Civil War. The myth is that the Radical Republicans of the 1860s and 70s represented the party population as a whole, rather than a vocal minority within an ascendant movement that managed to squeeze in a few good reforms before Hayes sold it all down the river.
Republicans barely abolished slavery even with half the country in Time-Out. And they were crucified for it in elections to come.
