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 theyre 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.

Like throwing a monkey wrench into it. He should NOT NOT NOT apologize, as it only serves to legitimize the nonsense. He should just roll his eyes and explain the obvious - tell the left that not everything is about race.
oh here are the usual suspects. still cowering from the media reaction “don’t say that guys they might attack us”
the coward’s way has ended. please get on board or back under the bridge.
Better git yer pearls, Little D00dil!
Strange choice of words. I always think of “monkeying around” as silliness or horseplay or tinkering with something. I’ve never heard it as a substitute for “f’ing up”. Maybe he meant “don’t muck it up”. In any case, if he is challenged on it, he should just accuse the chanllengers of projection.
Repeating what I wrote at #47:
If you were DeSantis campaign consultant, would you have advised him to say monkey around? If so, why?
If the suit fits, wear it. The monkey suit, that is. Otherwise, let it be.
How do you signal to people that you’re not going to put up with their sh!t?
You do that by not putting up with their sh!t.
Quit being a Vagina Republican, alright, we have enough of those, and their all useless.
Agreed.
It’s not that big of deal, but still. You have to know the environment.
And no, he should not apologize.
It’s actually naked for Charles Moncky, who invented one of the first adjustable wrenches.
WTF is wrong with these aholes effing up a definite win? WTF??
Just another example of how a pubbie snares defeat from the jaws of victory.
You added “(Oh Boy)” to the title.
Dat be racist’...
cower in the corner.
He didn’t call anyone a name.
yea we saw this in the other thread, troll.
get on board or leave.
I'm not sure I want to see that ...
good grief, youre as bad as the left. I wouldnt cow to them on this at all. People like you on the right that pucker up when some perceived slight is made just exacerbate the issue
