    CNN got caught again perpetrating lies. I have have never seen a National Media Organization so unhinged in all my time. They are literally fostering Nazi/Stalin style tactics to try and subvert the country. Unreal. It's all race baiting and lies. Did you see Don Lemon defend them? What a joke, lol

    He did not refer to a black person as a monkey.

    That's what it boils down to.

    Is saying 'boil' while discussing various people of various colours, racist?

    I'm not a Democrat, but why did you vote for Putnam? I hope it has something to do with that REEEdiculous ad put out by DeSantis and his quasi-hot wife or that Putnam seemed to be a more credentialed candidate, but I doubt it's either of those things..

    Seriously curious...

    Next time don't monkey it up.

    Oh I see, he could still be a racist. You're withholding judgement.

    The exact quote :

    "The last thing we need to do is monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state," DeSantis said in an interview this morning."

    So yeah, the monkey business clearly refers to Democrat policies in general, it's not an attack on any person in particular.

    Screaming racist on that is basically a dancing monkey show at this point.

    So when someone mentions monkey you automatically think a black person.......................gotcha :thumbsup:

    It's not DeSantis who has a problem.

    I told my kids and tell my grandkids........don't monkey around with that............or don't act like a bunch of monkeys.

    You guys simply have to drive it into the gutter and throw the race card because you can't win on the issues.

    He used it as a VERB not a noun he wasn't calling Gillum a monkey and Gillum is just desperate to throw the race card so he doesn't have to defend his policies.

    Many words in the English language have multiple means. Your use of monkey must be some form of anaimal obuse.

    I did not know monkeys were socialists but I am sure lefties think they are.

    Republican: "You are a socialist."

    Democrat: "You are a racist."

    The election has begun!

    Use "flog the dolphin", it's racial correct and universally loved.

    As I said I do not see de Dantos's statement as on it's face racist. It is sloppy. He should have said don't throw a monkey wrench into this.
    Or do't screw this up. Don't flub thus up. Don't F- thus Up.

    No one says don't monkey this up. But still not obviously racist.
