Trump dropped a hard-r when it comes to Jasmine Crockett? Honestly, given the good work Crockett has been doing, I kind of love that it's pissing off Trump so much, and making him show his true, obviously racist (and homophobic, etc.) colors.

What I don't like is that this is probably going to make the hard-r "more acceptable to say" for MAGA folk, not that they didn't already say it in more private settings already.

Yeah, I missed the "barely coded dogwhistles" part of the sentence.
