        Who even uses that phrase in a context like this? Seems deliberate. And he'll get away with it.

        Democrats always making it about race. You can't win if you tell the truth, so you tell lies hoping that there are enough gullible people to believe you so that you can win that way.

        So so done says don't monkey it up and Democrats automatically say it was racist because his opponent is black. That is the left being racist not Republicans.

        If I look at a tree and say ‘Hey! That’s a tree!’ that doesn’t make me a tree. Same concept applies here. If someone points out racism you’re knee jerk reaction is to call them racist you need to do some serious self reflection.

        They aren't pointing out racism. They are trying to turn a common phrase into something racist. It is ridiculous. That would be calling a tulip a tree according to your own analogy.

        Actually he said, “Let's build off the success we've had on Governor Scott," DeSantis, a Republican congressman, said. "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."

        He chose his words deliberately and wisely. He is speaking to a specific group of #Florida voters when he makes remarks like that. Those are the EXACT people that we need to outnumber at the polls this Nov. #Vote #register

        This is why Trump endorsed him. He is toeing the party line.

        Actual quote: "Let's build off the success we've had on Gov. Scott. The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases bankrupting the state. That is not going to work."
