We were WAY too nice to Obama.
If the mere mention of the word monkey makes them scream racist then they’re not worth carrying on any conversation with.
If he'd said screwed up, mucked up or whatever, libs would still be having a hissy fit about it.
Bkmk monkey
With all due respect, stop being nervous and keep trying to say look dems say monkey too..just move on. this isnt even a big deal. These threads are keeping it alive in their own way.
Also pointing out their hypocrisy doesn’t mean a damn thing to the media, they dont care. so I don’t get all these threads about this monkeying it up comment. it’s such a dumb non issue. we’re not playing by their rules anymore stop being nervous and worrying about it.
Everyone uses that expression and it has nothing to do with race.
#6. A brother from the same mother, only the one on the right is the smarter of the two.
The campaigning technique is to find something bogus like this and get everyone to scream "racist". DeSantis is correct not to back down or even give a mild apology. Letting maniacs take away freedom of speech or invent issues that really aren't means they've already won.
Even ultra-lib Snopes agrees that the term “monkey wrench” didn’t originate as a racial slur.

Dont monkey around with it. An expression meaning dont touch, dont fool around with it, leave it alone, stop fooling around. Remember it well from childhood. Only a bigot would interpret it as racist.
FLASHBACK: Here’s a Long List of Top Democrats Saying “Monkeying Around”
The desperate democrats have no ideas, no leadership, no record. They are like a drowning person grasping at straws. Drown you commie bastards!
They are democrats. That explains the double standard.
There is a big difference between monkey with it and porch monkey.
My Dad used to call us kids monkeys because we would run around like monkeys in the woods. And I am as white as one could be.
