N-Word

An attorney in South Carolina who's running for governor -- whose arrest may have already tanked his shot -- is finding himself in an even deeper hole now that full body cam video of his arrest is out ... showing him dropping the N-word.

TMZ obtained the clip from the Charleston Police Department -- William "Mullins" McLeod Jr., who’s gunning for the Palmetto State's 2026 gubernatorial seat -- casually tosses in the racial slur during his loud, expletive-packed tirade ... before, ironically, saying, "I better start paying more attention to this racist ass Donald Trump."

It gets wilder -- 'cause during his May arrest for disorderly conduct, a Taylor Swift song starts playing in the background. First up, her 2012 hit "I Knew You Were Trouble" (fitting, right?), followed by "Wildest Dreams" ... which was pretty on point too, 'cause things were spiraling fast!

The Breeze Airways passenger who was confronted and restrained by others on a flight allegedly threw chewing tobacco in someone's face and called a flight attendant the N-word ... according to federal law enforcement.

ICYMI ... a video went viral showing a man on a flight from Virginia to Los Angeles that had to be diverted to Grand Junction, Colorado -- and you can see a large man force the guy to sit down after cops say he acted in an unruly manner.

New documents have shed more light on the situation ... with law enforcement claiming the incident on the plane began when the man -- identified as David Leroy Carver Jr. -- called a Black flight attendant the N-word and claimed she was his "servant."
