Someone keeps using my name out of context. Why is that, I wonder? Should I be concerned?
I guess DeSantis still lives in 1950 Alabama. F****** stupid, racist stupidity.
Blacks have to be very overly sensitive and insecure to be offended by a figure of speech such as this.
Besides, it’s white Libs who tell them to be offended by such because they really are the ones who are the racists and think blacks are monkeys.
Yep, exactly what they needed to say. It's not so much I didn't like what he said, but it was more out of the expectation that he would apologize for it. If he doesn't apologize, then it's possible he could turn it around to his advantage.
That being said, I hope he's a bit more careful from here on out.
Yep.
A.) The people most pissed off about this weren't going to vote for DeSantis anyways.
B.) The people planning to vote for DeSantis a don't care.
C.) No matter what he did, the media was going to somehow find a reason to call DeSantis a racist.
Are you for real. You really think he’s racist?
I wish he hadn’t said that, but that was more from a position that the media would run with it.
Typo that escaped me, it was supposed to be knickers.

Absolutely nothing wrong with his choice of words, unless one’s mind is perpetually in the gutter.

>> “He probably meant nothing by it, but seriously, what an idiot!” <<
Stop calling yourself an idiot; you just watch too much CNN.
His spokesman just dismissed it.
He never said what is in the article headline, not even close!
You have to READ the article to see what he really said.
What is in the headline is crap Mediate said!
I’m not an internet bad ass.
I’m just a rare Republican who isn’t a bitch made punk.
You never miss an opportunity to disappoint.
You are a trained little monkey.
Now squeal and run!
The sensibilities of certain ethnic groups are as tender as a baby’s bottom. Grow up.
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!
Yeah, dumb to use the word monkey. Also dumb for anyone to think for a second that he meant any negative connotation.
It’s just unnecessary noise that could have easily been avoided.
I’m not sure it can be avoided. It would require a level of awareness that few if any have.
A silly, innocent comment. But this is not Macaca, and this is not 2006.
POTUS Trump has shown how to handle the enemedia.
And Gillum is such an awful candidate, there’s no way he and his agenda can win in 2018.
Here’s to hoping that he has the Trumpian wit and ballsiness to plow past this but something tells me he’s not going to be a great candidate just by virtue of his even creating such an issue for himself in the first place. Not so smart.
