The Slobfather did not call Alvin Bragg a degenerate psychopath [View all]

(as said by a regular on Morning JoeScum). He called him a denigrate psychopath which is both crazy effing stupid and racist to the core.

Denigrate - late Middle English (in the sense ‘blacken, make dark’): from Latin denigrat- ‘blackened’, from the verb denigrare, from de- ‘away, completely’ + nigrare (from niger ‘black’).
