I see that the GOP has given up on the âit was a jokeâ strategy and have gone straight to the âself-serving false indignationâ opening gambit.
Itâs close to âapologies to anyone who was offendedâ but no cigar.
Of course itâs not racist Bob, thatâs disgusting. And Iâd like to remind voters not to âPick a ninnyâ
Interesting that she has to say at the end that they donât condone this language. That seems to be acknowledging that it is obviously racist. I assumed Fox would say it was leftists being hyper-sensitive.
I have never in my life heard the phrase âmonkey this upâ. But no, itâs not racist.
I wonder if thereâs a way of analyzing DeSantisâ prior public communications to ascertain how often heâs used this âidiomâ. Iâve never heard âmonkey this upâ used as an equivalent for âblow itâ, âscrew it upâ, âmake a mistakeâ, etc.
Wow. Itâs amazing that DeSantis canât see the racism here! Pretty clear indication that heâs one of the least racist people in politics.
If it walks like a duck, and quacksracistidioms, it must be a trump republican.
âThatâs absurd. I just asked the voters not to renig as we did with Obama.â
It most definitely was a racist dog whistle. Something that just recently came to my attention was an urban renewal project where i grew up that replaced an all-black business district with an interstate highway and a very large Montgomery Wards department store. Growing up, everyone in town referred to this store as Monkey Wards, and it was forever lost on me why, other than sounding vaguely like Montgomery. Now, however, knowing what this store replaced and the culture that was lost, it was racist, through and through.
Crackers? Anyone?
Fuck you, you fucking chump. There is no denial here anyone is going to seriously entertain, so if you want to get into the vat of primordial racist stew, get off your knees and stand the fuck up.
Itâs foolish for monkey ass DeSantis to think he can ascertain whether heâs made a racist remark or not!
Apparently, heâs from the same dumb monkey tribe as his biggest GOP cheerleader, Trump!
Neither have I, and I pay attention to these things for a living. Occasionally to âmonkey aroundâ is used for silly behavior, and more commonly to âmonkey withâ is to touch or use something without knowing what youâre doing. Never heard it for failure, mistake, screwing up etc. The idea was to say âmonkeyâ while talking about a black man so all the racist dolts youâre trying to motivate know exactly who you are.
Carl Rove said it best: âIf you are explaining⌠you are losingâ
O/T but all 3 cable stations are showing Mcainâs service
What oh what is Trump going to watch
Fox âNewsâ; what else?
They lie, cheat, and steal. They invoke racial divisiveness. In Arizona, almost 50 percent of Republic voters voted for the vile, racist xenophobes, Joe Apraio and Kelli Ward. With only one of them, it might have been a close run thing. And McSally is no member of the enlightened.
November is going to be tough. We have to take two steps forward, just to get one step ahead.
I have no illusions.
Itâs on Fox too
Whatâs absurd is to pretend he didnât blow that whistle, especially since âmonkey this upâ was used in conjunction with âarticulateâ in a 30 second time span. Frankly, Iâm surprised he didnât slip âcleanâ in there as well.
