Why are you taking Reagan off the list? I picture that sob saying it when he talks in his sleep.
You misunderstood. They took Nixon and Reagan off of the "never said it" list, because of course they said it.
Yeah exactly. Nixon's life was basically a steady stream of slurs, though not sure if it was backed up by actual hate or just indifference (sociopathy/psychopathy?) plus a desire to be edgy... Either way, he definitely said it regularly.
Reagan implemented the war on drugs, which was a hateful act itself, so even without a reputation for language like Nixon had, I'm positive he also said it a lot behind closed doors.
