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.

The saddest aspect of this matter is seeing how much of our side is comprised of a bunch of hysterical sissies who fear their own shadow. PITIFUL!

Honestly, when I first heard about what DeSantis said, I laughed my ass off! It wasn't a slip of the tongue. He said it to rile people up. He knew the left would freak out!

Anyhow, I live in Florida and I can't wait to vote FOR DeSantis! They're going to call us all racists and bigots no matter what we do so we all might as well have fun! The charge is starting to wear off.

Since when do we have words that we CANNOT USE.

All you young people, use your search engines and see that a fellow named George Carlin took his words to the Supreme Court and won.

Now it’s words like “monkey,” “black,” the dreaded “n” word, “niggardly” and other innocuous words.

CRIPES, THIS IS STUPID, and I won’t join the silliness, especially since idiot Cavuto is offended.

I guess you’re part of the permanently offended class and everything is potentially offensive.

I wouldn’t have told him to say or not say anything because I don’t think pussy footing around the race baiters is a value proposition

I wish they were rare.

They seem to be extremely common.

A man says a word and they all scatter like cockroaches under a light.

I live in Florida too, voted for him in the primary, will vote for him again in the general.

They can call me racists all they want.

Hell, they can give me a racist hat and a racist T-shirt too.

IDNGAF!

You cannot be against racism and for punishment just because a person is white. Those are two diametrically opposed positions. But then again, this is 1984 and Orwell Rules !
