Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum criticized his Republican challenger Rep. Ron DeSantis on Thursday for having “the nerve” to refer to him by his first name.
“I met [DeSantis] for the first time the other night, and then all of a sudden, without invitation, he was calling me only as Andrew,” Gillum told a crowd at Florida Memorial University. “Between the two of us, he quit his job in Congress — I’m a sitting mayor, and he had the nerve to address me only as Andrew?”

So did he address his opponent as Mr. DeSantis or Sir? Or is he a hypocrite?
The very prickly sense of those who look for “white supremism” in even the most innocuous of statements greatly handicaps Andrew Gillum here.
In a most peculiar interpretation of “political correctness”, there is ample opportunity to take umbrage at what is perceived to be an insult, and go into a flash of righteous wrath.
Almost like having a very short fuse on a stick of dynamite.
Perhaps Andrew is not temperamentally suited to be a governor. Though his skin may be of another pigment, it is far too thin.
Insecure people with severe status anxiety should not be elected to high public office.
Slaves are always addressed by their first names. This proves DeSantis is racist.
We are overrun by lefties from the northeast and Puerto Rico.
We can’t blame the Floridians for bad choices so much as their imported northeastern and Puerto Rican leftists.
I’m a sitting mayor, and he had the nerve to address me only as Andrew?”
Go tell it to Barbara Boxer for a sympathetic ear.
Well, doesn’t he think he’s special.
The nerve of someone to use a person’s first name.
Sheesh, I hope people see him for the shallow, self-absorbed piece of work that he is.
This is one reason I would never go for early voting. Too much stuff can come out closer to the election that could make me regret the vote I cast, and there’s no taking it back.
You’ll get over it Andrew. On Nov 7th, he’ll be calling you Mr Mayor all day long with great delight.

With Gillum’s insecurities i’m thankful he didn’t go straight for Master!
I’d call him a lot more, right to his face. I hate how these a-holes think we have to call them by their titles, and especially the ones who aren’t in office.
This is the sickness of black privilege.
ping - can’t make this stuff up...
Andrew, stop being such a NAG...GRO a pair!

LOL!!! Hey, Putz!
Colorful peacock rant.
Senseless, but colorful.
They call me, Mr Socialist... Okee dokey, boss, that settles it.
