        "throw a monkey wrench in(to) (something) To disrupt, foil, or cause problems to a plan, activity, or project. Primarily heard in US." Everything ISN'T racist!

        Did anyone ask to check DiSantis' birth certificate? That seems like the Republican thing to do. Oh that's right he's a Republican, never mind.

        I'd like for any of his defenders to provide us with any other time he has ever used this term. Kinda like Trump mocking a handicapped reporter and all the Trumpists claiming that's a normal move for him. Bullshit.

        The GOP is still finding ways to make my jaw drop. And it won't matter. They'll pretend he didn't mean anything by it and move on. There's no bar low enough for these ghouls. It's so depressing to be living in these times.

        @RonDeSantisFL graduated from @Yale and @Harvard law and served as a #JAG in @USNavy but thought it was permissible to use racist dog whistle on the first day after winning the @FloridaGOP nomination for governor? SMH Should have known better

        Didn’t take long for liberals to scream racist. But this is Florida and it won’t work. Gillum is toast. Is that racist?

        No, Edgelord. Inserting the word "monkey" into a statement about Gillum is racist. ...de Santis knows it and so do you.

        He obviously has nothing relevant to say about his qualifications as a candidate. His base ignorance and hate-mongering will give Dems the advantage. Remember this come NOV. & VOTE 4 Gillum.
