Liberal Florida gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum on Wednesday slammed his opponent Ron DeSantis after the Republican warned voters earlier in the day not to “monkey this up” by voting for Gillum in November. During an appearance on Fox News, anchor Shepard Smith asked Gillum, who is black, if he considered DeSantis’ comment racist or a figment of speech. Earlier Wednesday, the chairman of the Florida Democratic Party accused DeSantis of “racist dog whistles.”“Well, in the handbook of Donald Trump, they no longer do whistle calls,” Gillum said. GILLUM HAUNTED BY CITY'S CORRUPTION PROBEDeSantis, who won the Republican nomination for governor on Tuesday, made the remark during an appearance Wednesday on Fox News. “With Andrew Gillum, Florida Democrats have selected a radical far-left politician who remains at the center of an FBI anti-corruption investigation,” the Republican Governors Association said Tuesday.
