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

    What evidence do you have that she would ever say such a thing? Or are you just now making a horrible slur against Maya Angelou along with excusing Trump’s racism?

        I would answer that “if” the same way I would answer the question, “if Jerry Seinfeld said that Jews controlled Hollywood and the banks, would that be antisemitic?”

        The answer is: It’s not something he would say. And in your example, it’s not something she would say.

          So now you presume to know what people say. Easier to answer the hypothetical imo. Weird choice. Your tap-dancing to avoid answering yes or no tells me my point is starting to sink in so I’ll leave it there.

          We’re off topic and I’m done relitigating this. It’s really not that difficult a concept to understand. Read that wiki article I linked you about the Principle of Charity. It will really help you in the future.
