Here we go.
Why is it that when the words "monkey, ape, gorilla, etc." are used even in a common phrase and innocent context, those on the left's knee-jerk reaction is to attribute it to racism if a black person is involved? Project much? Is it because, like Darwin, white liberals themselves believe that blacks and other non-whites are further back on the evolutionary scale but it's not politically correct to ever acknowledge that? That would explain in part white liberals' patrician attitude towards blacks and other minorities.
DeSantis could very well be a racist but can you come to that conclusion based on what he said in this instance and in public? That dog whistle though.
