Once you hear the word “monkey” you think black guy? Yikes, man.

 

[Micawber]

He'll be the new darling...

Obviously a reference to "throwing a monkey wrench" into Florida.

But DeSantis better get out the PC handbook right away. This is the crap the left will focus on instead
of that Dems ultra-extreme socialism

Nice try, his opponent is a black man. There is a history of racists using the phrase to refer to black people.

I could just see the Fox Fools hitting the ceiling if Obama made some "Cracker" reference in Wisconsin and tried to cover up with Cheese.

Racist!

No, it’s not or he could have said that.

Hey ... I say go with it ... use it everyday all day.

After all ... it's just a word wink wink

Yes, that’s why I’m wondering why when you hear the word “monkey”, your mind immediately goes to “black people”. The thing about dog-whistles is only dogs hear it.

It was subtle, but probably understood by the white conservatives. This guy looks pretty smooth, and has the support of Trump.

Dog whistles are supposed to work on racist. How come you can hear it?

The guy is an idiot to use the phrase. It will be used against him.

 

[dukkha]

"monkey it up" is the same phrase as "throwing a monkey wrench"
( and this is why I call you a partisan unable to look at anything but the partisan perspective)

Hello noise,

Obviously a reference to "throwing a monkey wrench" into Florida.

But DeSantis better get out the PC handbook right away. This is the crap the left will focus on instead

Sounds like you are only hearing what you want to hear.

No, DeSantis said: "Florida should not monkey this up."

An an incredibly insensitive thing to say when his opponent stands to be the first black governor for the State of Florida.

I’ve never heard the phrase before today.

When racists hear the word “monkey”, they think of black people. Why did you assume he is speaking about a black man if your own mind didn’t make he connection first?

I agree it gets the PC antennae quivering for implied racism
