Stop explaining yourselves to LEFTISTS.

They don't care.
They will only use it AGAINST you.

Tired of paying any attention to a leftist msm who is looking for any opportunity to label conservatives as racist. Shove it back down their throats. Republicans have been cowering in the corner too long.

DeSantis didn't think he was talking about Gillem, he was talking generally about the Democrat party's move left to embrace socialism and how it would undo all the things that Republicans have built up in Florida over the years.

Here's a hypothetical: Suppose a candidate talks to a reporter and says something like: "It's time to restore civility and respectful demeanor in our politics, and abandon this rush to bitch and moan about every little thing." Now suppose that he's running against a woman, and the MSM puts out a story that our candidate called his opponent a "bitch."

That's what happened here. No amount of policing one's words can help when we have a media that is willing to twist any context to fit their agenda.

Excellent! Push back while giving your opponent back-handed compliments.

He should just say he thought it was more civil than saying the F-bomb.

This is precisely how the left is dividing this country over race. This story is a perfect example.

Would do my Hart good to uncover some sort of past Democrat Monkey Business that would showcase their current hypocrisy.
Might be tastier than a boatload of Rice!

I I’m surprised the online company called SurveyMonkey hasn’t been forced to change its racist name. And why Al and Jessie haven’t shaked them down for a nice sum of money. It just be owned by liberal elitist.

From the Comments section of that article:

“Democrats have been known to MONKEY around with election.”
Barack Obama Sep 4 2008

“Donald Trump threw a MONKEY wrench with the wall.”
Chuck Schumer Apr 24, 2017

“No one has ever been allowed to MONKEY around with our electoral system.”
Dianne Feinstein Sep 23, 2016

We should start calling out the people that make racist comments like Gillum for what they are: Racists.

Trying to interject race into every discussion is just a reflection of their own racism and skewed world view. I am tired of it.

Instead of being on the defensive, DeSantis should go on the offensive, call out and scold Gillum for his racists comments and lecture him on the fact that we are all Americans, we all have the same right to a bright future and should act as one instead of allowing people like him to try divide us.

I guess a Monkey Wrench is now racist, along with the game “Barrel of Monkeys.”
