So, what race are monkeys anyway?
If he had said “ni**er” this up, I’d have seen it as racist.
DeSantis, don’t back down. He didn’t equate monkeys with blacks, those looking for a racism issue did. And they called it a “dog whistle”, thus equating dogs with blacks.
More Gruberization aimed at the stupid.
Typical Leftist tactic. Throw out the race card in order to avoid an honest debate concerning actual issues people care about.
The appropriate response. Stay on the offensive.
Recite an endless list of phrases with monkey (ex: monkey’s uncle, barrel of monkeys, monkey around, monkey business, monkey wrench, monkey house, monkey see/monkey do, etc.) and then ask, “since when have the countless phrases containing “monkey” been about race - rather than aboutt monkeys and applied to all people?”
Exposing leftwing claims and charges as ridiculous nonsense (without being defensive) is the only sane response.
Don’t let up on him, Gillums a socialist. “Gimmedat Gillum” is plainly looking for some other way than his “plan” to win, and he’ll try to use this monkey thing to do it.
The woes and social ills that Gillum will bring us far outweigh his hurt feelings over a perceived epithet.
DeSantis, to not apologize.
Mention they didnt report tge whole sentence.
Meanwhile, last night Gov. Cuomo called ICE agents “a bunch of thugs” and zero condemnation from DeSantis’s opponent.
Excellent - No apologies
But, racists who hear it do associate “monkey” with “black people” no matter the context. And I haven’t heard as single republican or conservative who has made that association. That probably says something about who the racists are in this country.
I just saw a quote from Obama where he said both parties are ‘monkeying around’......circa 2008
That is all they know to do...taught to them by B.HUSSEIN O. the ‘king’ of race...
enough said...
Ignore and move on.
I have days where I just monkey around. And sometimes I’m a “white hat”, sometimes I’m a “black hat”.
In a Fox News interview yesterday, DeSantis called Trump the “Gorilla in the room.”
I sure hope these people quit monkeying around!
DeSantis meant to say "Eff this up" but knew he couldn't, so he substituted "monkey" in its place.
Nothing to do with race, it was about avoiding a potty mouth.

Only liberals see race in it...
I wonder why, when liberals hear the word ‘monkey’, they think ‘race’?
What race do they think it means?
