From a reader:
…but please, he used a French slur against North Africans, with the French emphasis, further–he is fluent in French, and, finally, his mother is a Frenchwoman with a Tunisian background….1+1+1+1 equals 4 here: he knew *exactly* what he was saying and he meant it….he just didn’t expect anyone beyond the Kentucky border town to zone in on or otherwise “get it…” The guy has real issues….another faux-Southern “leader” trying to make up for Daddy’s shortcomings, to boot.
