Fresh off primary win, Ron DeSantis proceeds to stick foot in mouth

[Anti Federalist]

DeSantis did not take hundreds of thousands of dollars from George Soros.

I am not in favor of government regulations regarding "man made climate change".

Gillum is.

That's just a common colloquialism. That was neither stupid or racist of him. Anyone who says it was either is either a brainwashed SJW or stupid. Neither one is good.

I am sick of this shit. Racism isn't cool, but trying to ruin someone's carreer over a false allegation is just as bad. This has to stop. This affects all of us. I will lose respect for him if he apologizes.

Oh, hell, count on that.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Gillum supports gun control.

I do not.

I know where I stand: against campus carry, for an assault weapons ban, and for closing gun show loopholes.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Gillum supports Bernie Sanders "Medicare for All" plan.

I do not.

Politicians should never apologize, if they said something that truly demands an apology then they should just drop out, if what they said isn't worth dropping out over then apologizing is just a sign of weakness, voters don't like weakness.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Then why are they voting Republican?

So, I could go on and on, but you get the point.

That's why.

To say there is no difference is disingenuous or insane.

Exactly...own it or go away.

[h=3]Abolish ICE Candidate Andrew Gillum Wins Dem Primary In Florida Gov Race[/h]Now you know why Pierz wants you to think DeSantis is no better.

That is the lie they keep selling. But reality doesn't bear out the propaganda. Especially with DeSantis. The man is a Socialist through and through.

So you think that Massie, Amash, Rand, etc... are selling a lie and that they don't really want smaller government?

 

[oyarde]

I am confused. So is he racist or not? I don't know what am I supposed to think.

 

[Anti Globalist]

He better not apologize or else he'll look weak. Imagine if Trump was in this situation. He would have doubled down on that statement. Honestly all republicans have to do is run their campaigns like Trump and you're almost guaranteed to win 99% of all elections.

 

[devil21]

If he is starting out with a gaffe like that which is so easy to avoid, he's probably throwing the election.

 

[Aratus]

is ANYONE here becoming quietly nostalgic for the merrie auld dayz
when JEB BUSH was FL's governor let alone his noble POTUS run???

 

[eleganz]

This is dumb, everything is offensive these days.

 

[William Tell]

Dumb move. Obviously not a racial remark in context, but if he apologizes he's done.

Yep.

He better fight these scum. The real racists are those that automatically think monkey = black

And this should be his response.

I am sick of this $#@!. Racism isn't cool, but trying to ruin someone's carreer over a false allegation is just as bad. This has to stop. This affects all of us. I will lose respect for him if he apologizes.

Agreed. Except the only reason it was stupid is everyone knows the press will go this low to say someone is a racist. You simply can't use countless normal words anymore if you are a public figure without getting slammed like this.

Buncha fucking monkey-business if you ask me.....

Isn’t this just some derivative of “throw a monkey wrench in the works”?
