FLASHBACK: Here's Long List of Top Democrats Saying "Monkeying Around"

Yesterday a firestorm erupted when Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis said during an interview on Fox News, "The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state."

His Democrat opponent Andrew Gillum and his friends in the leftist media immediately pounced, saying the use of the term was a "racist bullhorn."

DeSantis has fired back, saying his use of the term had nothing to do with race.

But despite their outrage, Democrats haven't had any trouble regularly using a similar term: "monkeying around." This includes Democrats working directly for President Barack Obama.

Rich Weinstein has compiled a long list:

Are these Democrats also using racist bullhorns? Or are they just politically opportunistic hypocrites?

Maybe DeSantis said it on purpose, because he knew the response it would get.

This just came to me - anyone else remember the yacht Senator Gary Hart’s Presidential aspirations ended on, due to his tryst with Donna Rice?

It was the good ship Monkey Business

My thoughts exactly. Then after they take the bait, hammer them with all the videos of Dems using the phrase including, BO.

I will point out that “monkey around” is a well known expression while I had not heard “monkey things up” until yesterday. Maybe it’s a Florida thing?

Ron seems to enjoy triggering liberals. Look at his campaign ad.

I like this guy!

Ron DeSantis has released an ad indoctrinating his children into Trumpism

I mean, how perfect was THAT!? LOL!

And now we’re to believe it was somehow racist?

The Left is insane.

He should use this the rest of the campaign. ‘Don’t let the socialist blank this up. There are at least 3 different words I could put in here and they ALL mean the same thing.’

I think it was a handy euphemism for effing things up.

Every time a lefty cries “racism”, a Trump voter gets his wings.

The press did not publish the whole sentence. Only the first few words not the last very few words.

True, but not one of them had a black opponent they were running against.
