During Wednesday’s edition of CNN Tonight, host Don Lemon played a clip of Representative Ron DeSantis, Republican nominee in the Florida gubernatorial election, saying “the last thing we need to do is monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state” during an interview with Fox News. Lemon asked: “Does anybody else hear that dog whistle? It’s kind of a bullhorn.”
If "monkey" is imagined as dehumanizing, then what kind of metaphor is "dog whistle"? Aren't you suggesting conservative voters are dogs?

If the first thing you think of when you hear the word “monkey” is black people, you may be a racist.
“Does anybody else hear that dog whistle? It’s kind of a bullhorn.”
If only dogs can hear it, Don just called himself a dog. Also it can’t be a dog whistle and a bullhorn at the same time. This is what happens when you do the heavy lifting to make something out of nothing.
Is it adog whistle when Obama says it?
Remember, Don may not be one of the donkeys but he is definitely part of the jackass world.
I’m certain Don Lemon’s head is chock full of strange whistles and bells.
Since the Left claims that all white people are inherently racist and we can’t stop being racist, then why would we need a dog whistle? Especially a dog whistle that they can hear?
The failure of logic in their own rhetoric is so obvious. Its like no one on the Left has a fully-developed adult brain.
Yeah, don’t insult dogs, Femco
Dogs have more love in a paw then you’ll have cumulative lifetime
Racist blacks hear a dog whistle if the wind blows.
Fans of the movie, "Idiocracy", will get the reference.
Fortunately, only six people actually watched this broadcast, and two of them were the night shift orderlies on Don Melon’s psycho ward.
that’s funny, the left believe we came from monkeys, yet scream incessantly whenever someone uses the term monkey- Are the left now biased against their supposed kin? Kinda makes em racist now doesn’t it?
Stop racism against monkeys!
The only people that seem to hear the dog whistle are the leftists.
If you believe people born with your skin color all react like Pavlov’s dog when one word is spoken, you don’t think very much of those people, Don Lemon. You’re the racist.
The fact that some people DO react just shows they’ve been conditioned and brainwashed by their democRat masters not to think for themselves.
The leftist hypersensitive mass-hysteria protest machine is getting really, really old.
I wonder if this jerk’s “husband” is a dog.
The good news is that it was entirely predictable that the Dems would find some way to call DeSantis a racist. Everyone has tuned them out. Let them rant. They are just hurting their cause.
That is a very good line.
Tell it to the late George Michael.
