Republican nominee Ron Desantis is facing backlash for saying “the last thing we need to do is monkey this up” in reference to Andrew Gillum, who would be the state’s first black governor.

Yeah hi, Ron DeSantis is a man who served this country for several years as a naval officer, Gillum is a left wing crook who was investigated for dirty dealings. This notion he’s racist is ridiculous.
Wow theres so much racist propaganda nowadays. All these racists are creating fake anti-liberal conspiracy theories and people are actually believing it. Smh
Ok I am a Dem and I just voted for Gilliam, but now that I heard the context of what DeSantis said I can say he wasn’t being racist. He said monkey THIS up and then referred to policies. Probably not the best choice of words considering his running mate but as usual the white guy hardly has to worry about what he says thanks to Trump, while black men have to continue to choose their words carefully (like Obama).
I just learned my mother has been racist to me my whole life always telling to stop monkeying around ðŸ˜â€Â
I live in FL will vote for DeSantis, it is outrageous that this harmless usage of the English language is being played as "rasiest". This is too pathetic! If he had used profanity or blasphemed God he would not be getting this nonsense.
The idea that the left intends to subliminally associate darker skinned people with monkeys is revolting. The fact that the democratic candidate is good with that should be condemned by all Floridians.I suggest if naturally you make this association in your mind, you are the racist no matter what your heritage. Yes, the left is racist,
DeSantis is gonna win by a land slide….He's got my vote…
double standard, abc.

When Gillum said they tried this once was he referring to trump winning the presidency? If so they didnt ever try anything with trump it has always been attacking and degrading our President.
Ron DeSantis is an obvious, blatant, evil RACIST. Ron DeSantis has a history of misspeaking slipping into racial “accidental†slurs. It isn’t the first time. He’s another southern Republican racist White Supremacist.
Another Trump, racist pig!!!
US media sensationalism taking words out of context to create a narrative. They are sick people.
Pathetic. MAGA!
What the fuck!!’ Are we really saying this shit!’n
The left relies too much on race. They don't have any actual good policies so they keep crying wolf. It's their only strategy and all they know.
Let's Rename the "Monkey-Wrench" Its Racist
Though I have my opinions of Trump, I can say at least he's always been Trump 24/7 365 he's an authentic dummy, he's not that bright so he uses his ugly ways to get through and by, we're familiar with his behavior more than we'd like to be, we have the receipts dating back as far as the 70s, Ron may have racist tendencies deep inside where he kept them cause no one knew of this until now, with Ron portraying that "Be like Trump" BS displays that he can't be trusted, it only worked for Trump because no other ran a campaign like him, the world doesn't appreciate a copy, I only accept designer perfume not some cheap knock-off, behaving like Dummy Trump will not get you far, Trump is seeing that in real time, I could never trust anyone portraying someone else's character.
He didn't use the word monkey as a noun, he used it "monkey it up" as a verb. Which can only mean to mess it up. President Obama even used the word monkey in this context. This is the most blatant lie of the week, thank you misleading liberals.
Walk away from racist black Americans
There's grasping for straws, and then there's down right creating them out of nothing. The comment was clearly aimed at his policies, not his skin color or race. This is fine though. Trying to turn Trump into a Nazi is exactly how the media helped him win the election. Now it'll probably happen in Florida.
same people who were outraged over romney saying he had 'binders full of women'.
So would Eric.Trump you did not serve. You ducked.
People with straight hair think they can say anything.
Is Ron European?
This isn't real….I can't believe how biased the media really is. Really people? Really????
Vote Democrat! Revive the memories of Frank O. McCord, John B. Kennedy, James R. Crowe,
J. Calvin Jones, John C. Lester, and Richard R. Reed all of them, founders of the Ku Klux Klan and were all Democrats.
Vote Democrat! They have nothing against black people. Democrats believe everyone should own at least one.
Here is a video of President Obama saying the same exact thing. Its at 6:17

Not all Republicans are racist. But all racists are Republicans.
I live in Florida. ..voting for DeSantis!
What Trump would probably have said: "He's tough, extremely talented… And most of all, he supports me!"
De Santis is JUST like Trump: a Racist, Bigot, LIAR, etc. VOTE GILLUM in NOVEMBER!!!
