Being charged with racism doesn’t have the impact it had a few decades ago.
It once was the nuclear weapon of accusations.
Now it’s more like getting hit with a dud firecracker.
Except with foaming-at-the-mouth liberals - who already hate you anyway.
“”Do liberals think black people are monkeys?””
Not necessarily but apparently black people do!
Thanks for the link!
It was like the former president of Mexico publicly attacking President Trump over Trump's alleged 'sh!thole country' comment ... when Mexico wasn't even one of the countries included in Trump's list. LMAO.
It’s going to be ALL ABOUT RACE until Nov. 7, when the racists loot and burn like they did the last time they were “disappointed”.
They also know that Big Media will support them, and call them “protesters”, and will remember that none of them suffered any consequences two years earlier.
If it did refer to a person, it would refer to five famous white guys.
Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru have yet to weigh in.
You know the irony here?
Him saying it likely proves he's not racist because he didn't even know his choice of words would be considered 'racist'.
I’d better call my dad..he used to tell my brother & I to stop monkeying around all the time! Who knew it was a racist dog whistle..
DeSantis could’ve used another term/phrase but give me break!
Makaka
It's possible.
It will depend on how he and his campaign handle it.
If he starts apologizing he's going be seen as weak for giving into political pressure. He will turn off his base.
His best bet is to do a Trump and not back down.
What in that statement is controversial? You never heard the phrase throw a monkey wrench into something? Gees a lot of people need to grow up!
After reading the full quote, it doesn’t look like DeSantis meant anything personally insulting by his statement. It’s not like he called his opponent Gorillum or anything like that.
Will find the link was all over Twitter yesterday how that schmuck is under investigation
Well said & that should be DeSantis exact reply to this nonsense.
For crying out loud, the Left has been pulli g this same outrage since (at least) Howard Cosell. Spare me.
It is really pretty simple. All the concocted “racial” slurs in the world won’t matter a damn in Florida’s gubentorial election. This guy’s policies are garbage and anathema with Florida’s prosperity.
I have a great motto for him:
Make Florida New Jersey Again!!!
LMAO.
Just ignore the democrat chattering crowd in the media and stay on message. Say there was nothing racist about it and move on.
