Michael Steele on DeSantis’ ‘Monkey’ Comment: ‘It’s How White Folks Talk About Black Men Who Are Successful’
‘It’s not because he’s connected to Trump’

TODD: "The assumption was that he didn’t misspeak, that it was 100 percent a racial dog whistle. Is it because he’s connected to Trump?"
STEELE: "No, it’s not because he’s connected to Trump. It’s because it’s how white folks talk about black men who are successful."
