Fox News: DeSantis Campaign Releases Statement on ‘Monkey’ Comment

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "A little while ago we had Ron DeSantis the Republican nominee for governor in Florida on for an interview to discuss the Florida election. During the interview he made what some are calling an inappropriate comment about his Democratic opponent Andrew Gillum. DeSantis has since clarified his comments in a statement saying, quote, 'Ron DeSantis was obviously talking about Florida, not making the wrong decision to embrace the socialist policies that Andrew Gillum espouses. To characterize it as anything else is absurd. Florida’s economy has been on the move for the last eight years and the last thing we need is a far-left Democrat trying to stop our success.'"
