Then there was this meme(constantly):

We were WAY too nice to Obama.

[Bullish]

If the mere mention of the word monkey makes them scream racist then they’re not worth carrying on any conversation with.

[Aliska]

I remembered a common saying (called idiom when I looked it up to verify) "throw a monkey wrench into the works/plans."

If he'd said screwed up, mucked up or whatever, libs would still be having a hissy fit about it.

[ptsal]

Bkmk monkey

[Songcraft]

We were too nice to the Simian Socialist (Bernie Sanders) too!

With all due respect, stop being nervous and keep trying to say look dems say monkey too..just move on. this isnt even a big deal. These threads are keeping it alive in their own way.

[snarkytart]

Also pointing out their hypocrisy doesn’t mean a damn thing to the media, they dont care. so I don’t get all these threads about this monkeying it up comment. it’s such a dumb non issue. we’re not playing by their rules anymore stop being nervous and worrying about it.

[true believer forever]

Twitter thread with all the videos, don't need an acct.

Thread by @phillyrich1: "I’m old enough to remember when the Dems didn’t think “Monkey Around” was racist. Adam Schiff Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded v […]"

[Innovative]

Everyone uses that expression and it has nothing to do with race.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

#6. A brother from the same mother, only the one on the right is the smarter of the two.

[grania]

It's the strategy. Problem is, it worked in cases like Roy Moore and getting idiot Nikki Haley to take down Confederate statues.

The campaigning technique is to find something bogus like this and get everyone to scream "racist". DeSantis is correct not to back down or even give a mild apology. Letting maniacs take away freedom of speech or invent issues that really aren't means they've already won.

[Fresh Wind]

Even ultra-lib Snopes agrees that the term “monkey wrench” didn’t originate as a racial slur.

[FES0844]

Don’t monkey around with it. An expression meaning don’t touch, don’t fool around with it, leave it alone, stop fooling around. Remember it well from childhood. Only a bigot would interpret it as racist.

Calgary has a bookstore for racist children:

The desperate democrats have no ideas, no leadership, no record. They are like a drowning person grasping at straws. Drown you commie bastards!

[I want the USA back]

They are democrats. That explains the double standard.

[Vermont Lt]

There is a big difference between “monkey with it” and “porch monkey.”

My Dad used to call us kids monkeys because we would run around like monkeys in the woods. And I am as white as one could be.
