I totally get why a white right wing Trump supporter would want to deny it.
But it was clearly racist.
Do normal people use the term "monkey it up"?

LOL. You made the claim that no one in Florida believes it wasn't racist. I asked you for a citation to support that. You can't provide one. And you won't answer basic questions one would need to determine when that term can be used by a politician? If the opponent was white would it have been ok? If DeSantis was black, like Obama, would that have made it no longer racist?

I can understand why a left wing racist would want to deny that it wasn't racist.
But it clearly wasn't.

I don't owe you anything. If you lived in Florida, you'd be laughing at the idea that DeSantis wasn't race baiting. I completely understand why a Trump supporter would want to deny it though.
If DeSantis doesn't engage on issues that are important to Floridians, like water quality, mass shootings in schools, flooding due to climate change, eroding quality of education, affordable healthcare, etc. and he sticks to the racist message he's going to get his ass handed to him.
Come to think of it even if he engages on those messages he's going to get his ass handed to him. Which is why he's race baiting. He wants to divide people and win that way. Typical shitty Trumpkins eat that crap for breakfast.

Yeah, nah. Cool opinion tho. That wasn't racist. I know you can't answer those questions. It would show you don't know what you're talking about.

"Concerning the "monkey this up” comment by gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis: The meaning of words depends on one’s personal experiences.
The same words mean different things to different people. The term "monkey this up" is a U.S. Navy slang term. And DeSantis was in the Navy, so he used words known in parts of the Navy world. Others heard something different, but that does not mean that DeSantis was trying to refer to race or anything else other than to say let's not goof up the good thing we've got going in Florida (my words, of course)."
Nonagenarian steps up
"I am a registered Democrat and do plan on voting for Ron DeSantis in November. I am here to defend the Republican candidate.
As I am approaching 92 years, this has always been a part of my vocabulary and for those of us below the Mason-Dixon line. To me, it means, “Do not get into it; don’t mess with it.” Get off his back, and let the two parties continue with their campaigns."

Nope. Not racist, not one bit. I don't know about the mueller thing and don't care. There may be a mueller thread somewhere, this aint it.

It was in fact racist. Your opinion won’t change that fact
Who do you think mueller will indict next?
relaxinginUSA

Nah. Not racist at all. That's a fact. You monkeying around with your opinion won't change that.
You are obsessed with mueller. If he doesn't monkey around, there could be more indictments. I haven't followed it. Who do you think?
