Ron DeSantis fires back: Andrew Gillum 'called me a dog' at debate (ORLANDO SENTINEL)

Addlepated, addicted to pejoratives, ex-Rep. RONALD DION DeSANTIS freaked out at the second debate last week.  Now DeSANTIS claims that Andrew Gillum "called [him] a dog."

Tallahaseee Mayor Andrew Gillum merely quoted his own late grandmother, who would say, "a hit dog will holler."  Well, is that calling DeSANTIS a "dog," or using a metaphor or analogy?

DeSANTIS is a privileged former Navy lawyer and a graduate of Yale and Harvard, formerly with HOLLAND & KNIGHT law firm.

Is uncouth DeSANTIS that literal-minded or thin-skinned or silly?

This supercilious fop's last-minute campaign is disorganized by SUSAN SUMMERALL WILES.   WILE$ is a lolouche bbyist for JEA, Jaxport, developer, polluter and slot machine interests. Her daughter was booted from TRUMP's White House for failing a background investigation.

$USAN $UMERALL WILE$  managed the successful RICK SCOTT and DONALD TRUMP "fear and smear" campaigns in Flori-DUH.

Sorry, "fear and smear" is no longer well-received here in Florida in 2018.

We reject you and your works and pomps, TRUMP strumpets.

Get thee hence!









Ron DeSantis fires back: Andrew Gillum 'called me a dog' at debate





Republican Ron DeSantis had a fiery response Saturday to the flap over him calling his Democratic opponent for governor Andrew Gillum by his first name at two statewide debates.
“He called a me a dog at the debate,” DeSantis said after Fox News 13 Tampa reporter Jennifer Holton asked him about the issue. “Did you watch that?”
“So what, he has his own standard, and I have a different standard? … OK, fine. Crooked Mayor Gillum, how about that? He took bribes,’’ DeSantis continued. “How about failed Mayor Gillum? He has the highest crime in Tallahassee, the highest number of murders in history.”
Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, complained about DeSantis using his first name at rally on Thursday. During the debates, Gillum called DeSantis either “congressman” or “Mr. DeSantis.”




“I met him for the first time the other night and then all of a sudden, without invitation, he was calling me only as Andrew,’’ Gillum said at the rally. “Between the two of us, he quit his job in Congress, I’m a sitting mayor, and he had the nerve to address me only as Andrew? I wanted to correct him, y’all, but I didn’t want to be petty. So, we just we pushed all the way through.”
Gillum, however, did reference man’s best friend when talking about DeSantis in the second debate Wednesday in Davie.




Gillum quoted a proverb that a “hit dog will holler” to suggest that DeSantis responded defensively to a question about his ties to people who have made racist comments.
Gillum has denied being the target of an FBI investigation in Tallahassee, and he says his city’s crime rate is actually declining.
