I don't know where you get your info on that but what I see in news says different Originally Posted by Hotrod511The "info" is my opinion based on how few people I've seen comment negatively on the DeSantis comment. So far it has been Gillum and Terry Rizzo, head of the Florida DNC who have criticized the comment. But I haven't tuned into CNN since it happened.
I have heard that expression my whole life. Never used it but not because it was racially motivated, Never considered it to be a racial slur.It was either stupid or subtly clever, knowing it isn't racial but the left wingers would jump all over it.
But knowing what we know about the electric political climate, DeSantis’s comment was stupid.
Your reactions indicate as much. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Personally, I wasn't even aware the Democrats had a viable Black candidate for the Governorship in Florida. They still don't!
I suspect when the "dust" settles this may be one of those "basket of deplorables" moments in his candidacy. He's not only "monkeyed" up the election over there, he's made a "mountain out of a mole hill"!
He had an opportunity to make a statement that could show some class and a desire to engage the real issues in Florida over the next couple of months thereby reflecting his maturity and sincerity in leading Florida forward into the bright future Floridians have before them. Instead he chose the slop bucket of politics that has infested this country in the past couple of decades.
Did he actually trash-talk about Trump in Florida? Originally Posted by LexusLover

Obviously the news is going to go where the story is. There is no story when someone says there is nothing to it.
Gillum should have taken the high road and not made a racial thing out of it in my opinion. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

They will use any means necessary whether imaged or real to DESTROY their opponent. They sure can't win on issues/ideas, IMHO.
