Michelle Malkin: There Is Absolutely Nothing Racist About DeSantis’ Comment in the Proper Context

EXCERPT:

MALKIN: "Well I think that it underscores the truth of exposing fake news, manufactured outrage. There is absolutely nothing racial or racist or racialist about DeSantis’ comments in their proper context. And this is about how the media runs with this false narrative attacking Republicans and conservatives as racists. Who are the real racists? It is a commonly used word to use, monkey as a verb to talk about screwing things up, which is what he was warning voters of all colors not to do and to support an agenda that supports, making sure you have prosperous economy and good regulation, and -- and good tax policy. Look, I will tell you from my own personal experience I know who the real racists are, it's liberals who see racism where it doesn’t exist and who ignore it when it really does. I personally have been called a monkey by white liberal progressive journalists and nobody batted an eye. There are minority conservatives, minority Republicans over the last 30 years in public life who've been called all manner of racist animals and these leftists in the media never have a problem with it -- hypocrites."
