    Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James

    Does he think anyone doesn’t understand what he’s saying there? Why is he even trying to hide it?

      I’m actually not familiar with this particular dog whistle. Can you enlighten me?

        There’s a very nasty racial slur against black people that starts with “jiga” and ends with “boo.” Many people think that Trump’s use of “peekaboo” in relation to the black Letitia James is a reference to that phrase.

        He has a history of doing this. He has referenced the two black poll workers in Georgia that the MAGA conspiracy theories targeted as “Riggers” in a clear nod to the N word.

        His followers love this kind of stuff. They think they’re being sneaky by “hiding” their racism behind otherwise innocuous words.

          Just like when they thought that yelling “Let’s Go Brandon” was sooo fucking clever.
