Florida voters who receive the call, audio of which was obtained by NBC News, hear a man speaking in a minstral dialect who identifies himself as Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee who won his party's primary Tuesday.

Over a soundtrack of drums and jungle noises, the man says, "We Negroes...done made mud huts while white folk waste a bunch of time making their home out of wood an stone." The impersonator says the huts would useful housing in a hurricane. He also says he'll pass a law letting black people escape arrest "if the Negro know fo' sho he didn't do nothin.'"

Voters reported receiving it Friday, according to the Tallahassee Democrat, which first reported the call.

A disclaimer at the end of the recording says it was paid for by The Road to Power, a white supremacist and anti-Semitic group based in Idaho that has made other offensive robocalls, including one in Charlottesville, Virginia, after a far-right rally there last year, and another identified Friday in Iowa.

A spokesperson for Gillum's Republican opponent, Rep. Ron DeSantis, condemned the robocall as "absolutely appalling and disgusting" and said he hoped "whoever is behind this has to answer for this despicable action."

"Our campaign has and will continue to focus solely on the issues that Floridians care about and uniting our state as we continue to build on our success,” DeSantis spokesperson Stephen Lawson added.

Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who is running for Senate, also condemned the message.​

Losers. Sounds like a pathetic exercise.


Likely the largest effect will be to encourage minority turnout, by a tiny amount.

Sounds like they know they are hard up. Its a regular republican thing, Al Gore won the state in 2000, but Bush Jr, got it.

A disclaimer said. That's it?

It's possible, but equally possible it's more Democrat monkey shines.

How is it a regular republican thing? You always come up with the most ignorant responses.

The likelihood is was a liberal front group to make the pro capitalist candidates look bad. Typical Saul Alinsky tactic. Same tactic being used to make the word "monkey" taken out of context a racist slur.

The People are on to your cultural Marxists bullshit. There will not be a blue wave.

It COULD be an actual nazi group, trying to make republicans look bad, so as to support their lib allies in destroying the two party system and hopefully making the world such a shitty place that they could become relevant someday.

But it's perfectly alright for that kind of garbage, by a group called The Road to Power, to stay in business because our founders wanted us to be able to criticize our leaders. How is that constructive criticism of anything?

I almost wonder if a bonafide white nationalist group would even send something like this. If so, they're one of the dumber ones.

How did Al Gore win the state if Bush W got it?
