Commentary
Context: "The dog whistles in Trump’s vile statement are deafening"

I believe "good genres" is dog whistle for "White people"
Rambling 2 hour speech in an airport hangar … he praised confederate general Robert E. Lee, bemoaned his own fate of having to make speeches in places like Bemidji, Minn., and played the usual favorites (“Lock her up!”)
Sad irony:
Bemidji is a central city for three Indian reservations, site of many Native American services, including the Indian Health Service.
Indian Reservations: Red Lake, White Earth, Leech Lake
