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…

    I’m gonna be honest, this is a stretch. I watched the clip. Whatever he was about to say definitely sounds like it was starting with an M, not an N. His lips are in a closed shape at that moment, which you’d see with an M sound and not an N. With the context of what he’s saying, it really sounds like he was trying to say “migrant” and “immigrant” at the same time.

    Don’t get me wrong, this dude’s a dipshit for dozens of other reasons. But there’s nothing here this time. This really doesn’t seem to be worth any amount of energy.

        There’s so many real examples of conservative racism out there. You don’t need to make up fake ones.

        This is the exact same sort of shit conservatives do whenever Biden drops some elderly language. It’s gross, and needlessly desperate.

          You mean like perpetuating the myth that immigrants are eating pets?

          BINGO. the most frustrating part of dealing with these types of commenters is that they always lack the awareness to see that they’re operating in the same way that the bad-faith repubs do.

          Yep. Like, goddamn. Vance admitted he made up the story. Theres so much racism baked into this ENTIRE news story, that focusing on someone misspeaking is missing the forest for the trees.
