A little while ago, we had Ron DeSantis, the Republican nominee for governor in Florida on for an interview to discuss the Florida election. During the interview, he made what some are calling an inappropriate comment about his democratic opponent, Andrew Gillum.
DeSantis has since clarified his comment in a statement, saying, Ron DeSantis was obviously talking about Florida not making the wrong decision to embrace the socialist policies that Andrew Gillum Espouses. To characterize it as anything else is absurd. Floridas economy has been on the move for the last eight years and the last thing we need is a far-left democrat trying to stop our success.
We do not condone this language and wanted to make our viewers aware that he has since clarified his statement.

People never remember the clarification, they remember the original.

The weak "disavowal" is just an excuse to raise it again

(28,270 posts)DeSantis (R-Racist) got out his message on Fox "news" to his base in Florida, period.
This fake backtracking and non apology is just Fox and DeSantis (R-Racist) trying to BS the MSM.
He got out his message and it was plain to see.
