Washington (CNN) Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum on Sunday said a robocall aimed at mocking his race was "deeply regrettable" and took aim at his Republican opponent for saying Florida voters should not "monkey this up" by electing Gillum. The 78-second prerecorded message , obtained by CNN, is narrated by a man speaking in a caricature of a black dialect with cartoonish jungle noises in the background. The phone message went to Florida residents, but it's unclear how many received it. The Tallahassee Democrat first reported the robocall. Asked about the robocall, Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, told CNN's "State of the Union, "I have to tell you I find this deeply regrettable."
