As Twitchy told you, Mother Jones heard plenty of racism at the RNC last night, including from Mark and Patricia McClockey.
But MoJo was hardly alone. Lefty journalist Justin Miller also heard dog whistles all over the place:
McCloskeys gave racist speech at RNC, using code words. “Our community” and “your family” are implicitly white by positioning Blacks as interlopers, e.g. anti-segregation housing rule “would bring crime, lawlessness” and “your family will not be safe.” https://t.co/u2xdkIkT0c

McCloskeys want the state to exclusively protect white prerogatives, such as "defending" their home against a Black "mob." Instead, they said, the state betrayed them by charging them—not the mob—and will betray more whites by letting Black people into "our" communities.

Thank goodness for journos like Justin who can translate the “code words” for the rest of us, who stupidly thought that the McCloskey’s were condemning mob rule and antipathy toward the Second Amendment.

These satire accounts always get me.

Heh.
“Our community” and “your family” are now racist terms. https://t.co/OnLdrfB33j

Or maybe the term “our community” was referring to the literal, actual place where they live that was threatened by a trespassing mob.

What a completely absurd interpretation of the speech.

Good Gawd. You may need to loosen your mask and get some oxygen to your brain.

There's nothing racist in their speech. You're just stupid, Justin Miller.

Well, stupid and racist.
The only racist here is you.
