And no one would since "monkey around" is a common phrase we probably all heard as kids from our parents and/or teachers. It was directly in the lyrics of the Monkees theme song fifty years ago. It's a known phrase. "Monkey up" is not "monkey around".
Again you're trying to equate two disparate and very different expressions based solely on the fact that they contain one common word. Language just doesn't work like that; never did, never will.
And finally I have no political party. Nor does racism. Sooner or later you've gotta grow up and mature past that all-is-dichotomy childish bullshit.
why didn't you say any of that when Bush was called "chimp"? answer: because you are a hypocrite.
Nope. Bush is white. The slur is he use of terms like chimp, monkey , gorilla etc in reference to black people.
Oh, now I see. Its ok to call a white person a monkey, chimp, or ape, but if you do it to a black guy its racist. Do you even understand how stupid that is?
The reality is one cannot discuss reality regarding African-Americans, all that is permissable without being called a waycist is to praise them to high heaven.
Anyhow....this controversy would not exist if people had good reading abilities....if you read the Desantis statement it is plain to see he is referring to socialism in general not to his opponent in particular.
What Desantis actually said......"“The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state.”
Now contrast that with how the fake news has twisted and spun the statement.....thus very few even know what Desantis actually said.
