so what was going on with florida's white republican nominee for governor ron desantis? was he just careless with his words when he said let's not monkey up the situation? or was it what mayor gillum, the democratic nominee, thinks, that it was a dog whistle. first let's start with what he said. here are the facts. >> he is an articulate spokesman for those far left views, and he's a charismatic candidate. the last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda. >> gillum didn't like being called articulate, by the way. he believes that's code. why do african-american men have to be described as articulate when he's the mayor of a major city? of course he would be articulate. but it's that second phrase. that is the start of our great debate. angela rye, steve cortes.
