Ron DeSantis: Florida Can’t ‘Monkey This Up’ by Electing His African American Rival (Oh Boy)
Mediaite ^ | August 29, 2018 | Ken Meyer

Posted on 08/29/2018 8:16:45 AM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

Florida gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis did an interview with Fox News on Wednesday where he used a…um, questionable choice of words when talking about his Democratic opponent, Andrew Gillum.

As DeSantis spoke to Sandra Smith about how he secured the Republican Party nomination last night, he was asked how he plans to beat Gillum now that they’re about to go head-to-head. Since the Tallahassee mayor is campaigning on progressive policies with support from Bernie Sanders, DeSantis acknowledged Gillam as an “articulate spokesman for those far left views” who moved forward with more charisma than other candidates in the democratic primaries.

Only a racist would see racism in an expression like that. Racists see race everywhere; it’s their obsession.

You aren’t running for office, are you?

It doesn’t mean anything, but only an idiot runs and acts like they wouldn’t use an opportunity like this against their opponent. And only naive people act like they shouldn’t.

And with that post, you win the sniveling Vagina Repubic post of the day award.

How is America supposed to win the war with the Left with people like yourself in the ranks?

Turn in your Capn stripes, Jack, you no longer deserve them.

That’s cause they pretty much put Howard out to pasture after that.

DeSantis just needs to ask, “Why are you associating him with a monkey? I’m not.”

He will win in a landslide. The media loves to portray blacks as monkeys. People can see past the media agenda. Heck, I’m gonna go out and buy myself a dozen monkey wrenches.

Tiger Woods said just this past week that he has been monkeying around with his driver shafts.

I totally expect the mass media to go ape with hate and cram mental monkeyshines into their lying editorials. With any luck, though, the gorilla in the room will be a strong republican candidate who wins crushingly in the general election over an intellectually incoherent idiot who panders incessantly to the tar-baby crowd.

In the meantime, the jackasses will bray and kick. So what else is new?

Then let them explain how the word monkey relates to Gullim.

And please keep your pearl clutching to yourself.

I am not interested in a bunch of Republican pussies, k.

Indeed - These hand wringers are the reason the left has any power at all in this sphere.

Republicans do seem to enjoy snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. SMH

Great day yesterday, anyway. 100,000 more GOP voters than Dem voters in FL overall... hopefully that margin will be enough to cover the loss from this idiotic verbal gaffe.

He probably caught himself from saying “F*** this up”, and wisely inserted “monkey”... which is only offensive if you’re looking for reasons to be offended... but the enemedia IS doing that these days, so it is still a f***-up. He should have just cussed.

The way that Republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is with their sniveling cowardice.

Yours, for example.
