WOW.....Florida GOP Gubernatorial Candidate says "let's not monkey this up."

[Original Mountaineer1]

Rep. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday that voters would "monkey this up" if they elected his African-American opponent, Andrew Gillum, to be governor, immediately drawing accusations of racism.....Calling him "an articulate spokesman" for the far left, DeSantis said during an interview on Fox News when asked about his opponent Gillum, "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."

I'd say this is pretty darn racist but something I've come to expect from Trumpers.

I am confused.....you don't think this was a racist comment?

From that quote alone? No. I have no idea about the dude's background though.

Sounds extremely racist to me. You've got him now!

Florida better not cracker this up with Trump's white nationalist agenda.

 

[MichiganHerd]

I agree. Obviously more racist comments directed towards white people.

I don't think he meant it to be racist. Absolutely stupid thing to say though as you leftists will cry racist at the drop of a hat. He should ignore it and go on.

Yuge reach.

Yuge reach.

What? That's an equivalent statement, perhaps I could drop little Donnie's name but it's pretty close.

Cracker around isn't a common term. Monkey around is. This is a weak troll.

Monkey this up is a colloquial phrase. Cracker this up is not.

I've never in my life heard of monkeying something up, never. I've heard of monkeying around but that's not what he said.

50 words or phrases to use and he picked monkey......

 

[Boomboom521]

Trumps puppet masters at work. It has one of three possible effects:

1) outrage at the racist comment by those that wouldn’t have voted GOP anyway

2) undecideds get frustrated with the all too common accusations of racism from simple comments, and vote GOP because they’re fed up with PC talk and faux outrage

3) GOP base gets energized by a “straight shooter” Trump guy.

Dude just chucked a big fat line of bait in the water.

Exactly, probably not a good choice when dealing with a black person.

I've heard it and used it. Never when describing an African American's views though,

So you’re making special circumstances because of someone’s race? And this guy is the supposed racist? So confused.

That’s why yous guys keep playing that fvcking tune

You people, victims, pussies, whiny bitches, liberals.

Candace Owens was called a White Racist because she's a Black Conservative. @countryroads89 called me a House N****r like Stephen of Django because I voted for Trump instead of in my own best interests (presumably for Leftist Democrats)

So if you ask me, that DeSantis remark was mild by comparison.

I guarantee that phrase was well thought out

List of phrases with the word monkey. I’m sure you’ll find it here.

Why is @Original Mountaineer1 comparing monkeys to black people?

 

[moe]

It's not my fault he uses the term monkey when speaking about a black man's candidacy but that should endear him to Florida Repubs. Mission accomplished.

Oy vey (no pun intended).

 

[WVUCOOPER]

He didn't. Read gooder.

BTW I have and will readily admit that I think a faction of today's "conservatives" are openly racist and many a politician use their dog whistles or remain silent....from what was posted, that's nonsense in this case.

 

[DvlDog4WVU]

Why is @Original Mountaineer1 comparing monkeys to black people?

No shit, right? I listened to it and never once did it register to me that he had ill intent and racial motivations behind it. So, who is the racist, the guy uses a common phrase about synonymous with dorking something up, or the guy who automatically assumes a reference to monkeys is synonymous with black people?

I’m gonna go ahead and say that OM is huge vagina or a closet racist or both.

 

[Boomboom521]

It wasn’t a dog whistle, imo. It was a bait phrase used to start a side forcing debate on national tv.

It's not my fault he's a Black Socialist who hates free market Capitalism. The same Capitalism that's got his own people with record low unemployment here in America compared to Socialism's abject poverty in some parts of the African Motherland where his felllow Socialists have set up their utopian regimes for his Black Brothers who ain't doin' so well.

Bet he wouldn't choose to live there under the very Socialism he wants to set up here.

Fact.

JFC. This guy is one calculated mofo. Especially with it being a surprise win by the democrat.

Huh? Of course he did. "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." Whose "socialist agenda" was he talking about?

 

[Boomboom521]

He’s a Trump pick.....he’s got the WH prop team in his corner. Simple phrase, innocent, but it will spark national outrage that will help the candidate.

He was saying they shouldn't monkey up the election. What a colossal was of time and effort. Good luck to both sides.

BTW - the funny thing is seeing Trumpers attack socialist agendas, huge tax increases and bankrupting the government.
