Calling a neighborhood Rat infested is about as low as you can go and it's usually thrown around to disparage the people who live there while there are probably very few instances where those people are the cause -not the victims- of the infestation. There is one place where this is not true, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The president and all his cronies have infested the White House and our moral conscience for two and a half years and there isn't a rat trap big enough to catch him.
People ask if he says this stuff to signal to the bigots in his party that he's got their back but that gives him too much credit. Racist people can't help but let their racism slip out. It always happens, meet one of these guys who seems like an average normal dude and out of the blue he'll throw a comment out at you where you are just caught flat footed. But that's their game, they feel you out, beat around the bush and at some point just drop the N word.
