    So he said "monkey it up"... big nasty deal this is to the racist libs....He was referring to a monkey wrench....Nothing more than that....Years ago if you mistakenly left a tool inside of the factory machinery you were repairing it would of course gum it up....Obviously the libs have never heard this term " monkey wrench"...Typical of them, and stupid...

    Dems aren't stupid,they run on their strength. They are running a 30 something mayor of Crime-ridden Tallahassee who is Black and Socialist. All their Ads will never show his photo just pound the Fact that the Republician is Racist and supports Tax Breaks for the 1%.

    If you haven't got the Law,argue the Facts.If you haven't got the Facts,argue the Law.If you haven't got the Law or Facts,argue for Compassion.

    This Tallahassee mayor comes out firing this morning.. encouraged by his up-set win in the primaries..and attacks President Trump..

    Interesting,, since there's an ongoing FBI investigation into corruption in the his city's government...Tallahassee, the city he has led since 2014.

    Yeah, Jimmy, but he didn't say anything about a monkey "wrench". And "monkey it up" isn't an established expression. And that's the risk you take when you make up expressions on the fly. People can interpret them however they feel. And it's pretty hard to go back and say, "Wait, what I meant was..."

    Personally, I agree that it's all ridiculous. I don't believe it had racial connotations either but what I took it to mean was more related to the saying "monkey around" which means mess around. As in "don't let him mess this up..." "Don't let him f*ck this up..."

    With that said, if we both don't think his phrasing had anything to do with race, yet we both had different interpretations of what he did mean, you can't sit there and honestly say, "Those liberals are way off! He was simply talking about a monkey wrench." None of us can really know what he meant because it isn't an established expression. And frankly, he should have known better. There are trolls do nothing but lie in wait for this stuff. I know people that still swear that Conor McGregor called black people monkeys.

    At this time, I don't know enough about Piggy's new stooge to determine if his comment was racially intended, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Anyone who runs for political office knows that if they have skeletons in their closet it will eventually come out.

    He's an Ivy League under grad with a JD from an Ivy law school. Attorneys are very careful with their words and he was sending a message with the "monkey" quote. Don't be a sucker and think otherwise
