LOURDES DEL RIO, UNIVISION REPORTER: But what has set tongues wagging the most today…

U.S. REP. RON DESANTIS (R-FL): ..the last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda…

LOURDES DEL RIO, UNIVISION REPORTER: ...are statements by DeSantis to Fox News, where he used the word “monkey” -a term considered by some to be racist-  in order to warn that were the African-American Gillum to be elected, who he called a socialist, the state would be ruined. There has been much criticism. His campaign defended him by stating that the remark was about Gillum’s socialist policies and it is absurd to characterize it as anything else.
