    You misunderstood. They took Nixon and Reagan off of the “never said it” list, because of course they said it.

      Yeah exactly. Nixon’s life was basically a steady stream of slurs, though not sure if it was backed up by actual hate or just indifference (sociopathy/psychopathy?) plus a desire to be edgy… Either way, he definitely said it regularly.

      Reagan implemented the war on drugs, which was a hateful act itself, so even without a reputation for language like Nixon had, I’m positive he also said it a lot behind closed doors.
