Conservative editor backtracks after seeming to use n word regarding Haitian migrants

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...

Well it's some very interesting timing for such an accident.

I changed my mind after putting in earphones and listening to it more clearly

The video also looks like he's making an M sound (closed lips) than an N sound (open lips). Grammatically, I also don't think including "Haitian" makes sense if the next word is a slur.

I'm all for calling out the actual content on the conversation as the absolute nonsense that it is, but this specific headline seems like a bit of a reach.

u/flyingsquid won't look at this because of the dopamine hit he's getting from manufactured outrage
